As the Miami Dolphins approach a crucial offseason, they find themselves in need of key roster improvements following a disappointing 8-9 finish in 2024 that left them out of the playoffs. However, with the team currently over the salary cap—one of eight franchises in that position according to Over the Cap—they must navigate financial constraints while addressing their weaknesses.
One pressing concern is the offensive line. Both starting guards, Isaiah Wynn and Robert Jones, are set to hit free agency, and Miami’s protection unit surrendered 43 sacks last season. Given the importance of keeping quarterback Tua Tagovailoa healthy, upgrading the line is expected to be a priority.
Matt Johnson of Sportsnaut recently highlighted an ideal free-agent signing for each NFL team. For Miami, he suggested veteran guard Kevin Zeitler, who played for the Detroit Lions in 2024 and will be available on the open market.
