The Miami Dolphins<\/a> have made several big moves this offseason, but moving on from linebacker Bradley Chubb<\/a> at the start of the new league year was one of the most impactful.<\/p>\n Chubb spent that last four years with the Dolphins<\/a>, appearing in 49 games and recording 133 tackles, 54 quarterback hits, 22 sacks, nine forced fumbles, three fumbles recovered and two passes defensed.<\/p>\n However, quickly after his release, he signed a three-year deal with the division rival Buffalo Bills, and while he’ll be playing for another AFC East team in 2026, he wanted to leave the Dolphins and their fans with a parting message.<\/p>\n “I will first of all say, man, it’s not personal at all.\u00a0It’s not personal at all,” Chubb said on Terron Armstead’s podcast.<\/a>\u00a0“I’m not going up there to spite Miami and do all this. It just was the best opportunity presented to me.\u00a0I mentioned to them, man, I love y’all.\u00a0Y’all took me in when, like I said, I had a lot of hate in my heart, and I had a lot\u00a0of frustration going to a new city and doing this and having to pick up and move. But, y’all welcomed me in.<\/p>\n “Unfortunately, we couldn’t get over that 25-year hump of not winning a playoff game, but we damn sure tried.\u00a0And we had the guys in the locker room who gave it all each and every day.\u00a0I was one of them.\u00a0I tried to be one of them each and every day.\u00a0Unfortunately, it didn’t work out, but it’s not the end of my\u00a0career. I got three years in Buffalo.\u00a0I could finish it out with the Dolphins.\u00a0I mean, I’m not trying to burn no bridges, but, you know, it’s love, man.\u00a0It’s love for sure.”<\/p>\n
