Overview
- Alec Ingold agreed to a two-year, $7.5 million contract with the Chargers, tying his $3.75 million average salary with Kyle Juszczyk for the NFL lead at fullback.
- The 29-year-old reunites with Chargers offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel after four seasons together in Miami, including a 2023 Pro Bowl for Ingold.
- Miami announced plans on March 6 to release Ingold and kicker Jason Sanders after failed attempts to rework their contracts, a pair of cuts reported to free roughly $7 million in 2026 cap space.
- Sanders, an All-Pro in 2020 who missed 2025 with a hip injury, is a free agent as Riley Patterson's 27-of-29 field-goal season positions him as a logical target for Miami to re-sign, per reporting.
- These moves reflect the Dolphins' broader early-offseason reset under GM Jon-Eric Sullivan and coach Jeff Hafley as the team clears costs ahead of free agency, with further quarterback decisions widely discussed in reporting.
