It's highly unlikely that either player made the decision with entirely magnanimous motivations. The Dolphins cut ties with Raheem Mostert, Kendall Fuller, and Durham Smythe to save salary cap space, and may have been ready to part with Armstead and/or Chubb too. Regardless, both could've tested free agency, but chose to take less to stay in Miami.

Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert has been married to his wife Devon for eight years and the couple celebrated their wedding anniversary on Tuesday.

There are more than 90 free agent cornerbacks overall, so the Dolphins might be able to find a solid starter without breaking the bank. Miami found good value, for a year, with Fuller, who was set to make only $6.4 million next season, reasonable for a veteran starting cornerback.

These eight veterans may have been too expensive elsewhere, but that could make them cheap options for the Dolphins.

It's a key point in the NFL offseason for the Dolphins and other teams. Where will the free agents sign, who will be released, and who will be traded?

The Miami Dolphins are making some difficult decisions. But moving on from some older, injury-prone players is the right move, says Joe Schad.

The Miami Dolphins need running back Jaylen Wright to have a breakout season in 2025. With the team releasing veteran running back Raheem Mostert, Wright is slated to get significantly more carries next season.

The Dolphins may draft a developmental quarterback and seek replacements for Raheem Mostert and Odell Beckham Jr. Miami's top draft needs include guard, safety, cornerback, defensive tackle, inside linebacker, backup quarterback, and running back.

The Dolphins used a third-round pick in the 2023 draft on Achane, and the diminutive speedster has produced big numbers in those two seasons. They traded up in the fourth round of the past draft for Wright, in what was a bit of a surprising move at the time, but used him only sparingly as a rookie behind Achane and Mostert.

The Miami Dolphins restructured linebacker Bradley Chubb’s contract this week. The move should give them space to make free agency moves.
