Guards? Safeties? Backup QB? NFL free agency - and a must-win Dolphins offseason - start Monday
Briefly

The Miami Dolphins face a crucial 2025 season, with significant decisions looming for general manager Chris Grier and head coach Mike McDaniel if the team fails to contend. The free agency period offers an opportunity to address key weaknesses, including offensive guards, safeties, and backup quarterback. With around $25.1 million in salary cap space, their roster construction begins this week. Effective maneuvers could prevent a rebuild in 2026, contingent on their performance and roster enhancements entering the new league year.
The term 'must-win' is often overused in sports for instances when victory isn't exactly necessitated.
If the current roster core doesn't rise to contention, owner Steve Ross could easily decide the franchise needs to part ways from general manager Chris Grier and coach Mike McDaniel in 2026.
The Dolphins have pressing holes to fill at both starting offensive guards, both starting safety spots and backup quarterback.
Miami is projected to have about $25.1 million in salary cap space, according to OverTheCap.com as of Sunday afternoon.
