Jordyn Brooks named a top-10 linebacker in NFL

The latest positional ranking from ESPN dropped this morning, and this time, linebackers were the ones getting recognized. While the Miami Dolphins are lacking in stars due to the mass exodus of talent that coincided with the organization’s latest rebuild attempt, one spot where they seem to have talent is the linebacker room.

Realistic expectations for the Dolphins – The Splash Zone 7/14/26

This offseason has been all about change for the Miami Dolphins. A new general manager, Jon-Eric Sullivan, and head coach, Jeff Hafley, were brought in to hopefully right the ship.

The Miami Dolphins underwent a major roster overhaul this offseason as the new regime prioritized youth and scheme-fit players.

For this […]

At least one Dolphins player thinks Tua Tagovailoa will start for Atlanta Falcons in 2026

The Miami Dolphins gave former #5 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, his walking-papers this offseason when new general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan began the organization’s latest rebuild upon taking the job in South Florida. Soon after, the lefty signal-caller was picked up by the Atlanta Falcons. The Falcons already had a […]

As the offseason continues to trudge along, ESPN continues to release their rankings of all positions in the National Football League.

Dolphins newly […]

Veteran receiver options for the Dolphins – The Splash Zone 7/13/26

The Miami Dolphins lack a big name at the wide receiver position. They have plenty of young, unproven talent along with some veterans looking to earn bigger roles.

Dolphins trying to shed “soft” label – The Splash Zone 7/11/26

Over the recent years, the Miami Dolphins have been seen as a soft football team under former head coach, Mike McDaniel. When the team played bigger, more physical teams the results were never pretty. Jon-Eric Sullivan and Jeff Hafley are now looking to be the bully and not the bullied. You can see that in […]

Can Jason Marshall push for a starting spot – The Splash Zone 7/10/26

The Miami Dolphins will have new starters at their cornerback positions since both Jack Jones and Rasul Douglas are not back with the team. The team drafted Chris Johnson in the first round and it’s pretty likely he’ll have a large role and should claim the one starting spot. The other starting spot should be […]

Miami Dolphins Discussion: Top Wide Receiver Edition

Had the Dolphins retained their wide receiver corps from the 2025-2026 season, Jaylen Waddle would have been the presumed WR1 for 2026-2027 with Tyreek Hill still recovering from his injury. With both players now gone, the team’s wide receiver room looks drastically different heading into the new season. Below is the current list of WR’s […]

Dolphins 90 in 90: Ollie Gordon makes mark on RB group

The Miami Dolphins are building their offense around running back De’Von Achane, the team’s 2023 third-round draft pick who was named to the Pro Bowl for the first time last year. Miami signed Achane to a contract extension during the offseason, making him a cornerstone of the team’s rebuild under new head coach Jeff Hafley. […]

Dolphins Fans Sound Off On Malik Willis’ Developmental Direction

With the departure of former starting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa and the arrival of assumed 2026-2027 starting quarterback Malik Willis I asked the following question this past week: With the new regime bringing in Malik Willis to lead the Dolphins offense, do you hope to see the coaching staff attempt to transition him into more of […]

Patrick Paul; BIG man, BIGGER expectations

The Miami Dolphins are betting on young, inexperienced talent to carry the team during the 2026 NFL season after parting ways with many veterans earlier this year. One of the biggest — literally — players they’re counting on is starting left tackle, Patrick Paul. Paul was drafted in the second round of the 2024 NFL […]

Dolphins 90 in 90: Mark Gronowski trying to claim QB3 role

The quarterback position for the 2026 Miami Dolphins is much different than the 2025 version of the group. Tua Tagovailoa is now with the Atlanta Falcons, with former Green Bay Packers quarterback Malik Willis now expected to headline the Dolphins’ offense. Last year, Quinn Ewers took over as the starter when Tagovailoa was benched near […]

Dolphins 90 in 90: Major Burns goes from UFL to Dolphins

The 2026 Miami Dolphins season is about rebuilding the team, moving on from the failed past few seasons and looking forward to the future.

One low-risk, high-reward potential move they recently made was the signing […]

Can Caleb Douglas earn a starting spot – The Splash Zone 7/8/26

As of right now, no one is sure who the starting wide receivers will be for the Miami Dolphins. There are plenty of able bodies in the room, so the opportunities will be there. The Dolphins drafted three receivers in the NFL Draft a couple of months ago and spent a third-round pick on Caleb […]

The Miami Dolphins are scheduled for zero primetime games during the 2026 NFL season, marking the first time the team has not been nationally televised since the 2008 season — a year removed from the team’s disastrous 1-15 year in 2007. However, on Tuesday, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reported that the team’s preseason […]

Ranking the Dolphins roster – The Splash Zone 7/7/26
