Manny Fernandez, cornerstone of the 1970s Dolphins, dies at 79

Former Miami Dolphins defensive lineman Manny Fernandez, who joined the AFL-era Dolphins as an undrafted free agent in 1968 and spent his entire career with Miami, died at 79. He helped the Dolphins win back-to-back Super Bowls after the 1972 and 1973 seasons and was part of the undefeated 1972 team. Unofficially credited with 35 regular-season sacks and 4.5 playoff sacks (sacks weren’t officially recorded until 1982); he was inducted into the Dolphins’ Honor Roll in 2014.

Dolphins Extend Achane, Locking in a Young Pillar of the Offense

Miami signed De'Von Achane to a four-year, $64 million extension (potentially up to $68 million with $32 million guaranteed), solidifying him as a cornerstone for the offense and the 2025 MVP for Miami. The deal comes as the Jets reset the market with Breece Hall and places Achane among the league’s top-paid running backs by average value and guarantees, underscoring the Dolphins’ plan to build around him for 2026 and beyond.

Achane Trade Hinge: Dolphins Would Seek First-Round Return Before Extending Star RB

ESPN’s Dan Graziano suggests the Dolphins didn’t move star RB De’Von Achane during the draft because only a first-round pick would have altered their view of him as part of the future; Miami is pursuing a long-term extension, likely in the $12–14 million/year range, and a trade remains unlikely but could hinge on offers or future contract/cap space changes after June 1.

Dolphins lean into a rookie-heavy 2026 roster after draft

Post-draft, the Dolphins’ 2026 53-man projection is rookie-heavy: three QBs (Malik Willis, Quinn Ewers, Cam Miller); three RBs (De’Von Achane, Ollie Gordon II, Jaylen Wright); six WRs (Chris Bell, Jalen Tolbert, Malik Washington, Tutu Atwell, Caleb Douglas, Kevin Coleman Jr.); four TEs; nine offensive linemen; five defensive ends; five interior defensive linemen; five linebackers; six cornerbacks; four safeties; and three specialists. The plan relies on multiple rookies earning roles, with potential sleeper Rene Konga and promising pieces Kadyn Proctor and Jonah Savaiinaea shaping the depth chart for training camp.

Dolphins' 2026 Draft Draws Broad B- to B Grades From National Analysts

National analysts graded the Dolphins' 2026 draft as solid across several outlets, awarding B to B- marks for GM Jon-Eric Sullivan’s 13-pick class. Early selections like Kadyn Proctor, Chris Johnson, and Jacob Rodriguez drew optimism for immediate contributions, while mid-round picks such as Chris Bell, Kyle Louis, and Trey Moore offer potential.
