Dolphins’ Bold Rebuild Signals a Ground-Up Shift
Miami Dolphins GM Jon-Eric Sullivan and first-year coach Jeff Hafley lead a sweeping 53-man roster overhaul that prioritizes physicality, the run game and trench play, marking a sharp break from 2025. Only about six players from last year remain influential, with De’Von Achane, Jordyn Brooks and Aaron Brewer serving as the pillars, Malik Willis atop the quarterback depth, and a new leadership setup including Daniel Sillman driving a draft‑and‑develop approach under owner Steve Ross’s bold strategy. The rebuild aims for long-term competitiveness despite the risks of inexperience at the top, and signals a sustained shift away from the previous regime.”,
