31 Aug
Summary
- Dolphins traded QB Quinn Ewers and waived Cam Miller and Mark Gronowski.
- Seven wide receivers were kept, including surprising additions Henning and Miller.
- Linebacker Tyrel Dodson was cut, indicating belief in rookie Jacob Rodriguez.
The Miami Dolphins are undergoing substantial roster changes as they finalize their team for the upcoming season, with multiple player moves confirmed over the past two days. These transactions include trades, waivings, and placements on injured or reserve lists, signaling an active front office under Jon-Eric Sullivan and Jeff Hafley.
Quarterback depth saw major shifts with the trade of Quinn Ewers to the Jacksonville Jaguars. This move followed the waiving of Cam Miller and Mark Gronowski after their camp performances. Kyle McCord was acquired to bolster the QB room, providing potential depth.
The wide receiver unit presented several surprises, with the Dolphins retaining seven players. Beyond expected selections, A.J. Henning and Ryan Miller were kept, with Henning showing consistent camp production and Miller being a recent waiver claim.
A significant defensive move involved cutting starting linebacker Tyrel Dodson, suggesting increased confidence in second-round pick Jacob Rodriguez, who is expected to start alongside Jordyn Brooks. The secondary also faces potential additions, with Storm Duck and Darrell Baker Jr. on the reserve/PUP list and other cornerback cuts made.
The team is actively looking to reinforce its defensive backfield, particularly at safety, following several departures. Fans can anticipate further acquisitions in the secondary within the next two days.
