Everybody catch their breath?
It was a wild Monday for the Miami Dolphins, who lost $250 million worth of free agents but also made a handful of savvy signings that still preserve their premier 2025 compensatory picks.
Gone are Christian Wilkins, Robert Hunt, Andrew Van Ginkel, and Brandon Jones. Arriving soon? Jordyn Brooks, Aaron Brewer, and Anthony Walker Jr.
Spotrac estimates that the Dolphins have just $4.9 million in cap space — and that’s before signing Brooks, Brewer, and Walker. So Chris Grier will still need to be cost-conscious as he fills the Dolphins’ many remaining needs.
