The Miami Dolphins are releasing edge rusher Bradley Chubb, as per Jordan Schultz on X.<\/p>\n
Chubb was drafted by the Denver Broncos in the first round of the 2018 NFL draft. He spent four seasons in Denver, establishing himself as one of the league\u2019s top pass rushers. However, injuries plagued his time at Denver, starting only 41 games across 4 seasons.<\/p>\n
In November of 2022, the Dolphins decided to take a chance on Chubb, and traded for his services. Unfortunately, though Chubb was productive when he was on the field, he was plagued by the same injuries that cut short his time in Denver. He missed the entirety of the 2024 season with a torn ACL, managing 22 sacks in 40 starts with the Dolphins.<\/p>\n
In terms of Chubb, many teams (Dallas Cowboys, Detroit Lions) were interested in his services at the trade deadline this past season, but no deal materialized. Chubb will have a $31 million cap hit in 2026, so any team with championship aspirations and cap flexibility will likely be circling.<\/p>\n
As it relates to the Dolphins in 2026 and beyond, Chubb\u2019s departure is merely one domino in what promises to be a transformative offseason for the Dolphins. Miami will save $7.3M in cap space while taking on $23.8M in dead money by moving on from Chubb. This news, combined with the expected release of Tyreek Hill, the ongoing uncertainty surrounding Tagovailoa\u2019s future, and the hiring of head coach Jeff Hafley from Green Bay all point to an organization that has accepted the painful reality of a rebuild.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Miami Dolphins are releasing edge rusher Bradley Chubb, as per Jordan Schultz on X.
