Tua Tagovailoa missed five games due to injury last season, but the Miami Dolphins still finished with an 8-9 record. This is the first time the team has missed the playoffs since Mike McDaniel took over as head coach in 2022.
While injuries likely played an impact, now the Dolphins get to spend the winter scouting for upgrades that can help Miami return to the postseason. To do so, they may have to create salary cap room to cut ties with some excellent players.

The Miami Dolphins have already begun to clear salary cap space ahead of the 2025 NFL offseason, releasing Raheem Mostert, Durham Smyth, and Kendall Fuller. However, the Dolphins may not be done.

The Athletic’s Jim Ayello recently forecasted the Dolphins’ most likely cap casualty this summer, naming former All-Pro kicker Jason Sanders.
