Over his six career starts, Miami Dolphins quarterback Malik Willis has scored 8.5 fantasy points per game with his legs alone. While that sample size is almost unusably small, it's easy to get excited about what a full season might look like, particularly when considering his draft cost against some of the league's elite mobile quarterbacks. Willis is being drafted as a low-end second quarterback, all but eliminating the risk of banking on an unproven starter in what projects to be one of the league's least exciting offenses. With the Dolphins most dynamic playmaker, De'Von Achane, sharing the backfield with Willis, it could be easier for defenses to keep both players bottled up without a true downfield threat, but Willis faced a similar situation as a rookie in Tennessee, where he was able to top 40 rushing yards in two of his three starts with a receiving room consisting of Robert Woods, Treylon Burks, and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine. If Willis can continue to make strides in the passing game while leaning on his legs to keep the chains moving, he could provide week-winning upside from the closing rounds of 2026 drafts as RotoBaller's QB21
When the Miami Dolphins reconvene for training camp at the end of the month, they will do so with one of the league's most unproven wide receiver rooms, giving third-year veteran Malik Washington a chance to earn an important starting role. Washington caught 46 passes for the Dolphins in 2025, which trails only De'Von Achane among the handful of players still with the team, while free agent acquisitions Jalen Tolbert, Tutu Atwell, and Terrace Marshall Jr. combined for only 24 receptions last season. Miami spent three of its 13 picks in the 2026 NFL Draft on receivers, but with the headliner of that group, Chris Bell, still recovering from the torn ACL he suffered in his final game with Louisville, some of Washington's stiffest competition for a spot atop the depth chart could come from third-rounder Caleb Douglas and fifth-rounder Kevin Coleman Jr. With a new coaching staff and a new quarterback in Malik Willis, the Dolphins will be rebuilding their offense from scratch. If Washington can earn his way into a featured role, he's a smart bet to outperform his current ADP of WR70, though how much of a difference that will actually mean for fantasy is still up for debate, as Miami projects to have one of the lowest-scoring offenses in the league
Miami Dolphins rookie wide receiver Caleb Douglas has a path to snaps, but that alone does not make him a redraft sleeper. Miami selected him 75th overall after he posted 54 catches for 846 yards and seven touchdowns at Texas Tech, his second straight season with at least 54 receptions and 840 yards. At 6-foot-4 with a 4.39-second 40, Douglas brings a size-speed profile that stands out in an unsettled receiver room. The opportunity is real after the Dolphins released Tyreek Hill and traded Jaylen Waddle. So is the competition. Malik Washington, Jalen Tolbert, Tutu Atwell, Jalen Reagor, and fellow rookies Chris Bell (knee) and Kevin Coleman Jr. are all fighting for work. Miami is also replacing Tua Tagovailoa after releasing him and signing Malik Willis. Douglas is currently WR107 and 265th overall in RotoBaller's PPR rankings. That is deep-league territory, not a player fantasy managers need to force onto standard rosters. Douglas is worth tracking through training camp, especially if he earns regular outside snaps, but he can stay undrafted in most 12-team leagues for now
After being selected in the first round of this year’s NFL Draft, Kadyn Proctor and Chris Johnson are expected to be immediate starters. Proctor should slide right into the left guard spot while Johnson might just be the Miami Dolphins top cornerback. There are high expectations for Johnson, considering what Jeff Hafley outlined what the team expects of him. Johnson is expected to line up all over the secondary and the new coaching staff believes he will be able to do just that. You can check out that story here, and the rest of the day’s round-up below. Rookie CB Johnson gearing for major role with Dolphins in ’26 A former defensive backs coach, Jeff Hafley is learning how to spread himself to other positions ever since taking the Miami Dolphins’ head coaching job in January. It’s something he’s aware of whenever the team takes the practice field.

Is the Dolphins receiver room that bad – The Splash Zone 6/27/26 Welcome to the Splash Zone, the quickest way to get your day started off right. We bring you a rundown of Miami Dolphins news from the last 24 hours. Miami Dolphins Fans Sound Off On Stefon Diggs Rumors Miami Dolphins fans share their thoughts on the rumor that the team might sign the vetran wideout. Dolphins Fans Take On Possible QB Competition Miami Dolphins fans sound off on the possibility of a QB competition between Malik Willis and Quinn Ewers
Last year’s college football season began with much anticipation — and high expectations — for the latest member of America’s royal family of football. The man who started it all is, in hindsight, not thrilled that people acted accordingly. “I was kind of disappointed in a lot of, just a lot of people,” Archie Manning told Noah Gross of KXAN regarding the standard that was established for his grandson, Arch, prior to the start of his full-time playing career at Texas. “The whole thing. They kind of crowned Arch before he ever played. And I just didn’t think that was fair. Yeah, it was a little tough start, played a great team, and anyway. But I’ve never been more proud of anybody in my life with the way Arch battled through what he had to go through last year, and the way he played, you know, the last eight or nine games of the season.” It’s fair for Archie to feel that way. But the situation fed naturally into the hype and, in turn, the high bar. Arch’s uncles won four Super Bowls between them. One was a no-brainer first-ballot Hall of Famer. The other, who will likely get to Canton one of these days, authored two of the most impressive Super Bowl performances in NFL history — featuring a pair of unforgettable throws as David kept Goliath from winning eight rings instead of six. (The underrated sideline needle-threader to Mario Manningham in Super Bowl XLVI was as impressive as the Houdini-level escape capped by David Tyree’s helmet catch from Super Bowl XLII.) Archie launched the Manning dynasty, as a great quarterback trapped on a horrible team with no way to get to a contender during a decade that featured a wide gap between football’s haves and have-nots. Everyone saw it coming for Arch. Even before he was playing, he drew far more attention than the Texas QB1. (Who can forget the press conference where Quinn Ewers sat alone while reporters mobbed Manning ?) Yes, many believed that Arch, when he finally got a chance to start, would perform like Archie, Peyton, and Eli, all rolled into one. The problem was that, when it took Arch some time to develop (especially with a season-opener against an Ohio State defense stocked with 2026 first-round picks), the criticism became relentless. And that made Arch’s ability to turn it around even more impressive than if he’d thrived from the get-go. As Arch prepares for what many believe will be his final season in college football (he could return for a fifth year in 2027, if he chooses), the bar is high again. Many already believe he’ll be the first overall pick in the 2027 NFL draft. The lesson from 2025 could be that someone should be working to manage the preseason expectations better than they were managed for his first season. Ultimately, that falls to Texas to develop and deliver the proper messages about not expecting Arch to be a wire-to-wire superstar. Regardless, heavy is the head that wears the crown — even if that crown came from being the MVP of the Cheez-It Bowl. And the crown prince of the Manning dynasty (at least until Marshall picks a college) still faces very high expectations that flow directly from his name. It won’t be easy to change that, and it could be even harder to live up to it
The Las Vegas Raiders’ roster leaves a lot to be desired at wide receiver heading into the 2026 season. It’s arguably the worst position group in the entire NFL and thus, ranks at the bottom of the AFC West. That begs the question: do the Raiders have a top-10 wideout compared to the Denver Broncos , Kansas City Chiefs , and Los Angeles Chargers? All stats referenced below are from the regular season unless otherwise noted. 2025 Stats : 64 catches, 910 yards, 6 TDs (16 games) After getting traded from the Miami Dolphins about a month before the draft, Waddle hasn’t played a snap in the AFC West yet, but comes in as the top receiver in the division. Coincidentally, his biggest competition for the spot is the guy he’s going to be competing for targets with in Denver, Courtland Sutton . While Sutton was more productive last year, he was in a much better situation, working with Bo Nix at quarterback and a strong offensive line. Meanwhile, Waddle caught passes from two guys who are entering training camp as backups this season— Tua Tagovailoa and Quinn Ewers —and had one of the worst o-lines in the league last year. Plus, the five-year pro brings an element of speed to the Broncos’ passing game that Sutton doesn’t have and has been plenty productive in the past, beginning his career with three consecutive 1,000-yard seasons. 2025 Stats : 74 catches, 1,017 yards, 7 TDs (17 games) At the start of his NFL tenure, Sutton was a victim of Denver’s unstable quarterback situation. But with Nix in the fold, the 2018 second-round pick has posted back-to-back 1,000-yard campaigns, while racking up 155 catches for 2,098 yards and 15 touchdowns over the last two seasons. Additionally, he’s still one of the best contested catch receivers in the NFL, ranking tied for seventh among wide receivers by hauling in 17 passes in traffic a year ago, per Pro Football Focus . 2025 Stats : 66 catches, 789 yards, 6 TDs (16 games) After an impressive rookie season where he logged nearly 1,150 yards, McConkey fell victim to a sophomore slump in 2026. Still, he was one of the most productive wideouts in the division last year, ranking second in receiving yards and tied for third in receiving touchdowns, not including Waddle or any offseason additions. So, the Georgia product is still deserving of this ranking, but there’s no doubt that he needs a bounce-back performance this fall. 2025 Stats : 84 catches, 735 yards, 8 TDs (14 games) Johnston had a bad rookie season and is still battling the stigma from it, but he’s gotten better every year and quickly turned his career around. The 2023 first-round pick has had back-to-back seasons with at least 50 catches, 700 yards and eight touchdowns, while cutting his drops down from seven in 2024 to three in 2025, per Pro Football Reference . Also, Johnston has become a much-improved contested catch threat, hauling in 11 of 21 (52.4 percent) such targets last fall compared to 14 for 42 (33.3 percent) in his first two seasons combined, per PFF . 2025 Stats : 53 catches, 571 yards, 5 TDs (8 games) If Rice could stay on the field, he’d probably rank higher on this list. However, between injuries and serving a suspension for getting arrested, that’s proven to be difficult for him over the last two seasons, playing in just 12 contests during that timeframe. For context, Rice is averaging about 71.6 yards per game and a little more than one touchdown every two weeks over the last two seasons. At that pace, he’d be a 1,200-yard, nine-touchdown receiver in a full 17-game slate. 2025 Stats : 57 catches, 696 yards, 5 TDs (17 games) The first Raider! All Tucker has done in Las Vegas is get better every season, increasing his production in the three major receiving categories year after year. What’s even more impressive about that is he’d done it while catching passes from seven different quarterbacks, including four different starters— Jimmy Garoppolo , Aidan O’Connell , Gardner Minshew and Geno Smith . That streak wil

The Miami Dolphins have undergone a roster shakeup this offseason, resetting their salary cap and moving on from several veteran players as they turn to younger players in the rebuild. One of the biggest changeovers has happened in the wide receiver group, where Tyreek Hill was released and Jaylen Waddle was traded. Miami heads into 2026 without its top two receiving options from the last five years. Wide receiver has been a deliberate area of concentration for the front office throughout the offseason as they look to replace the production of Hill and Waddle. They have added several free agents, selected three players in the 2026 NFL Draft, and added an undrafted free agent after the Draft. But, it could be a returning player who proves to be the top wide receiver in the group. Name: Malik Washington Number: 6 Position: Wide receiver Height / Weight: 5’8” / 195 pounds Age (at start of season): 25 Experience: 3rd year College: Virginia (transfer from Northwestern) Draft: 2024 6th round (184th overall) Acquired: 2024 NFL Draft Contract: 4-years, $4.2 million 2026 salary cap: $1.1 million Contract details via OverTheCap.com . Games played: 17 (6 starts) Receptions: 46 Receiving yards: 317 Touchdowns: 3 Rushing attempts: 17 Rushing yards : 110 Touchdowns: 1 Punt returns: 20 Yards per return average: 13.0 Long return: 74 Touchdowns: 1 Kick returns: 36 Yards per return average: 26.8 Long return: 47 Washington’s role in the Mike McDaniel offense was as the emergency option, likely at or behind the line of scrimmage, hoping to use his speed to find space after Hill and Waddle pulled the defense deep. He was the third receiver on the depth chart, and was often behind the running backs and tight ends when all receiving options were considered, but when needed, Washington was a solid option for quarterbacks Tua Tagovailoa and Quinn Ewers . He was an option on end arounds and coming out of the backfield in McDaniel’s offense, using motion and formations to try to create mismatches. Washington also served as a primary return option for the Dolphins, working on both punt and kick returns. He scored one touchdown on a punt return. Wide receiver signings: Tutu Atwell , Donaven McCulley (UDFA), Terrace Marshall, Jr. , Jalen Reagor , Jalen Tolbert Released: Tyreek Hill Trade: Jaylen Waddle to Broncos Drafted: Caleb Douglas (3rd round), Chris Bell (3rd round), Kevin Coleman, Jr. (5th round) There are obviously a lot of questions to be answered this summer as the team heads into training camp and the preseason, but how the wide receiver group shakes out may be one of the biggest. Washington could emerge as the top receiver in the group, despite his size. He will battle veterans Tutu Atwell and Jalen Tolbert for targets while trying to hold off a surge to the front by any of the rookies. Is Washington ready for an expanded role in the offense? Earlier this month, he was asked about the opportunity for a bigger role, replying, “I mean, an opportunity only works if you meet it with your preparation and how you go about each and every day. For me, it’s like I would love to have that big opportunity. I would love to get a chance to go showcase my skills, but I just got to be prepared for that moment and seize it.” When asked what the opportunity has done for him as a player, Washington added, “Like you just hit on, I want to be a leader in that room. I want to be a leader on this team. I want to make guys want to go harder. I want to make guys want to work and put in everything they got each and every day. That starts with the receiver room and just getting those guys to approach the day like they’re going to be the best. We all want to be WR1s, we all want to take the load, so approach it like that.” Washington was asked if he is ready for a role that is more than just being targeted behind the line of scrimmage. He laughed as he responded, “I do not want any more of those. Yeah, I would love to do some more, get more active in all p

This past week, I asked the following question: Reflecting on the recent Miami Dolphins OTAs: which player performances or position group developments have given you the most optimism for the upcoming season, and conversely, which areas still leave you with doubts or unanswered questions? Below are some of your thoughts and answers- FLexile has seen the other South Florida pro franchises do what the Dolphins are attempting to do and hopes they can follow the same model. Also sees Ewers stepping in at some point, ultimately causing a quarterback controversy. I’ve watched the Marlins, Heat and Panthers build winning teams from scratch. With each of them, you could see the right pieces start to be put in place. I have great hopes that this new regime gets it right. Malik Willis has a great season but suffers a mild injury around game 10-11. Quinn Ewers fills in and lights it up down the stretch and now there is a tiny QB controversy heading into the playoffs. Phoenix6 saw some highlights but would have liked to see more of the rookie class step up in OTAs. Defense Dominates: Strong defensive performances, with the secondary tallying multiple interceptions & the pass rush applying consistent pressure. Highlighted by interceptions from defenders like Kyle Louis & Dante Trader. Rookie Progress: 2nd-year EDGE Chop Chop Robinson continued to flash his pass-rushing skills, & receivers like Malik Washington & Kevin Coleman Jr. emerged as reliable targets. Weakness (Opinion): The Dolphins have heavily integrated their draft class into on-field reps. The open OTAs have set the stage for position battles heading into the upcoming mandatory minicamps. I would have liked to have had more rookie names highlighted. davidson11 says Ewers=Pennington. If Quinn Ewers were a little bit bigger and more durable, he’d be really good. Reminds me of Chad Pennington. Ejplaya is still worried about that WR depth, but feeling good about the O-line improvement. Biggest concern is the wr group. Biggest jump is from the o line. coluccim thinks this roster has weaknesses at every position outside of running back. The team is below average/unknown at every position besides RB. If Jonah isn’t starting, I would feel much better about the oline. I like both top receivers drafted, but it will take 5-8 weeks to learn any pro offense. I expect we will see a few blown coverages also on the backend, especially if we can’t have some semblance of a pass rush. MiamiItaliano believes the linebackers are a bright spot, while the wideouts remain the biggest concern. The linebacker group will smash offenses this season. The concern is the inexperienced wide receiver group. TheRoo1 sees some growing pains on the horizon. This year will be an odd year for Miami. With Willis being new to the entire Offense, expect at least one early season win, until defenses adjust to his tendencies. I would expect (as most do) run heavy play calling with an otherwise dink and dunk approach. Achane will break a few long ones, otherwise the TE’s will become heavily involved as outlets until the line can show consistent enough play to allow more than one or two long shots per game. Defensively, I’m guessing the young players to be flying to the ball. Tipped balls and strips should occur frequently, but as the youngs guys learn Haf’s zone heavy approach, there will be enough blown coverages to keep the D from shining. I expect the run D to be average to slightly above average, but the pass D to start the season very poor, and by season end, if we are lucky they become average. Cover 3 without a stellar safety will be a challenge, and Haf loves cover 3. Pgharrell is feeling relieved after seeing something from the QB room and has high hopes for Rodriguez. Relieved and now more confident about the quarterback position. Willis and Ewers both seem more invested in winning than what we had previously. Excited to see, watch Rodriguez at linebacker, and of course the main man Se

The Miami Dolphins ended their mandatory minicamp last week and we were able to get a glimpse of these players in non-padded practices and thankfully no major injuries occurred. From now till the season begins, most eyes are going to be on the quarterback spot. Malik Willis is penciled in as the starter with Quinn Ewers backing him up. While both were pretty consistent throwing the football, Willis brings a different factor with a stronger arm and the ability to make plays with his legs. You can check out that story here, and the rest of the day’s round-up below. Ten Things We Learned During Dolphins Minicamp The Miami Dolphins are now a week away from the end of their offseason program, so what stood out during the mandatory minicamp? Chris Perkins: Snapshots on Willis, Proctor, Grant and others from a promising Dolphins minicamp If you glimpsed Miami Dolphins defensive tackle Kenneth Grant at minicamp this past week, you noticed he was often at the head of the line during individual drills. Should Brendan Sorsby enter the NFL’s Supplemental Draft this summer, the Miami Dolphins should ABSOLUTELY file a bid The NCAA has denied QB Brendan Sorsby’s appeal for eligibility. The Miami Dolphins should absolutely be paying attention. Where Ewers Realistically Rank Among NFL Backup QBs A national ranking of backup QBs had Quinn Ewers near the bottom of the NFL, but it says here that was unfair How Gordon Is Setting Himself Up for a Big Second Season The Miami Dolphins running back has his college number back and he’s looking forward to a bigger role for the offense Examining Austin Jackson’s Importance to the Miami Dolphins The tackle enters his seventh NFL season as the longest-tenured member of the offense Why JuJu Brents Could Be a Big Factor for Dolphins Secondary Brents is looking to build off last season’s performance before he was derailed by injury Dolphins wrap up minicamp – The Splash Zone 6/5/26 Welcome to the Splash Zone, the quickest way to get your day started off right. We bring you a rundown of Miami Dolphins news from the last 24 hours. Miami Dolphins Discussion: Could He Be The One We ask Dolphins fans if running back De’Von Achane can hit the 1,000 yd mark in both receiving and rushing this season. Miami Dolphins Discussion: Who’s Going To Be There Edition We ask Miami Dolphins fans if they plan on attending any games in person this upcoming season
Ewers started the final three games of the 2025 season for the Dolphins, posting a 1-2 record and 3:3 TD:INT while averaging 190 passing yards per game. The 2025 seventh-round pick out of Texas is expected to serve as the backup to Malik Willis in 2026 after Miami gave Willis a three-year, $67.5 million contract in the offseason, though it's worth noting that Willis has made only six starts since entering the NFL in 2022 and thrown for more than 136 yards just twice. Given that context, it's certainly possible for Ewers to get starts in 2026 if Willis gets hurt or benched, though the rebuilding Dolphins' passing game isn't expected to be a fantasy-friendly one
The Miami Dolphins concluded their mandatory minicamp with a strong offensive showing in red-zone drills. Quarterback Malik Willis connected for three touchdowns, and Quinn Ewers added another. Despite some chemistry-building for Willis with receivers, and Jalen Reagor hoping to overcome his past as a first-round pick, the team appears to have avoided significant injuries. Rookie CB Chris Johnson is also adapting to playing both slot and outside cornerback roles
The Miami Dolphins held their first day of mandatory minicamp on Tuesday, with just one week left until Dolphins complete their offseason program with the final week of OTAs. As such, head coach Jeff Hafley held a press conference afterwards and gave a slew of answers about quarterbacks Malik Willis and Quinn Ewers , who he thinks may wear the “green dot” on defense, and what he expects from edge rusher Chop Robinson going into his third season. When asked about Willis, Hafley stated that “it’s going to be a work in progress” in regards to him developing chemistry with Miami ’s receivers. Of course, it doesn’t help that Malik Washington is the only returning receiver from last season. He is currently accompanied by veterans Tutu Atwell and Jalen Tolbert , as well as rookies Caleb Douglas, Chris Bell, and Kevin Coleman. Former first round pick Jalen Reagor also signed with the team earlier today, and should bring some much needed competition to the room. Hafley also singled out Ewers, saying “I’m really pleased with him right now. I want Quinn to continue to get better and battle, and compete and do everything to show us he’s the best QB on the field.” On Miami’s linebackers, Hafley said that he’s preparing for all possibilities in regards to who will wear the “green dot” on defense. For those unaware, only one player on defense is allowed a helmet equipped with coach-to-player radio communication, and this player must wear a green dot on their helmet. Essentially, this player is the “quarterback of the defense”, and relays play calls to the rest of the team while also being responsible for pre-snap alignments. It’s a huge responsibility, and Hafley mentioned that he prefers for all safeties and linebackers to wear the green dot throughout camp, to train them for all possible scenarios. That includes rookie linebacker Jacob Rodriguez, who is expected to play a big role for the Dolphins in 2026. Finally, Hafley mentioned that he “wants more” from edge rusher Chop Robinson, who is coming off a disappointing 2025 season in which he tallied just four sacks. Mandatory minicamp ends on June 4th, with OTAs set to resume on June 8th, June 9th, and June 11th
Miami Dolphins QB Quinn Ewers, a 2025 seventh-round pick, showed adequate but unspectacular performance in his three late-season starts, averaging 190 yards with 3 TDs and 3 INTs. With the team signing Malik Willis as the likely starter and Ewers expected to be the primary backup, he remains a deep superflex league roster consideration due to Willis's unproven nature. However, Ewers's limited skill set, poor supporting cast, and overall ranking as dynasty QB47 suggest a capped ceiling even if given an opportunity
Ewers (knee) was participating fully in 7-on-7 drills during OTAs, Omar Kelly of the Miami Herald reports. Per Kelly, Ewers was performing well, connecting with tight end Ben Sims and rookie undrafted free agent wide receiver Donaven McCulley. As the offseason progresses, Ewers will continue to compete for the Dolphins' backup spot with 2025 sixth-rounder Cam Miller and rookie undrafted free agent Mark Gronowski
The Miami Herald's Omar Kelly writes that quarterback Quinn Ewers was the "best quarterback" of Wednesday's OTA session. The former University of Texas standout threaded a seam pass to tight end Ben Sims during 7-on-7 work and was "significantly more aggressive" with his throws. The 23-year-old also threw a touchdown pass to undrafted rookie receiver Donaven McCulley. The Dolphins signed former Green Bay Packers QB Malik Willis to a three-year, $67.5 million deal in free agency in March, so Ewers, a seventh-round selection last year, will be competing for the No. 2 role this summer with Cam Miller and rookie undrafted free agent Mark Gronowski. Ewers appeared in four games (three starts) near the end of his rookie campaign after Miami benched Tua Tagovailoa and completed 66.3% of his 83 pass attempts for 622 yards, three touchdowns, and three interceptions while going 1-2 as a starter

Following a disappointing 7-10 season, team president Tom Garfinkel cleaned house and canned head coach Mike McDaniel while starting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa was cut loose and signed with the Atlanta Falcons . To make up for their absences, the franchise signed Packers quarterback Malik Willis to lead the offense and enlisted fellow Green Bay alum Jeff Hafley as his new skipper. And, now that the 2026 NFL schedule has officially been rolled out, Dolfans finally know what year one of the Willis-Halfey (or maybe Quinn Ewers ) era looks like. Notable opponents set to visit the club’s Hard Rock Stadium include Patrick Mahomes ’ Kansas City Chiefs (Sept. 27), Drake Maye ’s AFC champion New England Patriots (Nov. 1), Jared Goff ’s Detroit Lions (Nov. 8), Caleb Williams ’ Chicago Bears (Dec. 13) and Josh Allen ’s Buffalo Bills on Jan. 3, 2027 in the final home game of the season. Unfortunately, due to a number of factors out of their control, Miami encountered a perfect storm and ended up with the second toughest schedule of all 32 NFL teams, according to Yahoo! Sports . “Any situation I want to go in, I want to win in everything that we do,” Hafley told former NFL star Richard Sherman on his podcast. “I think the expectations for right now are we have to build this foundation and build this culture the right way. And I know people don’t want to hear me say that, but I think that’s really important. And then … you have to create that competition to push guys to improve every single day…we need to create that competitive way right now, and I think that’s really important.” To make sure the squad is ready, new general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan filled major holes over the offseason after jettisoning Tagovailoa, Tyreek Hill , Jaylen Waddle , Bradley Chubb , Jaelan Phillips and a slew of other core players. Taking their place are free agent signees like wideout Tutu Atwell , offensive linebacker Joshua Uche , lineman Jamaree Salyer , receiver Jalen Tolbert and offensive tackle Charlie Heck . Joining them are returning stars De’Von Achane, Zach Sieler , Chop Robinson and Jordyn Brooks along with standout draft picks Kadyn Proctor, Chris Johnson and Jacob Rodriguez.
