Overview
- Miami signed quarterback Malik Willis to a three-year, $67.5 million deal that includes $45 million fully guaranteed at signing, positioning him as the centerpiece of the reset.
- Denver acquired wide receiver Jaylen Waddle and a 2026 fourth-rounder from Miami for the No. 30 pick plus third- and late fourth-round selections this year, removing the Broncos’ first-round pick and boosting Miami’s capital.
- Under GM Jon-Eric Sullivan and coach Jeff Hafley, the Dolphins are embracing a league-high dead-money cap hit while stockpiling picks (Nos. 11 and 30) and nearly 20 low-cost one-year signees.
- Mock drafts and beat reporting indicate the Bears are likely to target defense at No. 25, with edge rusher or safety frequently projected after free agency reshaped their needs.
- A Cowboys beat reporter says Dallas has discussed a trade for Dolphins All-Pro linebacker Jordyn Brooks, though Miami has described him as a foundational piece and an extension has been floated in reporting.
