The Miami Dolphins will reportedly release edge rusher Bradley Chubb, according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero. Last season, Chubb had 47 tackles, 8.5 sacks and 2 forced fumbles. He was able to play all 17 games after missing the 2024 season with a torn ACL<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The 29-year-old had been with the Dolphins since 2022, after being acquired from the Denver Broncos<\/a> at the trade deadline for running back Chase Edmonds and a first-round pick. Chubb signed a five-year, $110 million extension <\/a>with the Dolphins shortly after getting moved.<\/p>\n

Despite being under contract until 2027, Chubb was expected to be moved this offseason after the Dolphins did not move him at the trade deadline. After restructuring his contract last offseason, Chubb reportedly<\/a> has a cap number of more than $31M for 2026.<\/p>\n

Despite turning 30 in June, expect teams to be interested in the two-time Pro Bowler before the start of free agency. In his last three full seasons, Chubb has had at least eight sacks.<\/p>\n

For the Dolphins, moving on from Chubb continues to signal a rebuild. The Dolphins traded Jaelan Phillips <\/a>before the trade deadline and Jalen Ramsey<\/a> before the season. The team also hired Jeff Hafley as head coach and Jon-Eric Sullivan <\/a>as general manager this offseason.<\/p>\n

While the Dolphins have recently moved on from some of their defensive pieces, there are still questions surrounding what the team will do offensively. The Dolphins are expected to try to move quarterback Tua Tagovailoa <\/a>after he got benched in favor of seventh-round rookie quarterback Quinn Ewers in Week 16.<\/p>\n

The Dolphins signed Tagovailoa<\/a> to a four-year, $212.1 million extension in July 2024. They reportedly already owe him $54 million guaranteed in 2026, and another $3 million of Tagovailoa\u2019s 2027 salary becomes guaranteed on the fifth day of the new league year, March 15.<\/p>\n

Cutting Tagovailoa would leave a $99 million dead-money salary-cap charge, the largest in NFL history, while designating him as a post\u2013June 1 cut would spread the money over two years.<\/p>\n

Coming off a 7-10 season, expect the Dolphins to have more decisions to make.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Miami Dolphins will reportedly release edge rusher Bradley Chubb, according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero.
