The Miami Dolphins<\/a> are releasing veteran outside linebacker Bradley Chubb, per multiple reports<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As Miami nears a likely reboot on both sides of the ball, Chubb will get a fresh start elsewhere. Chubb, who posted 8.5 sacks last season for Miami, is eligible to sign anywhere as soon as he wants.<\/p>\n

He immediately stands as one of the best pass-rushers available in free agency this year. Expect the veteran edge rusher to have plenty of interest around the league as a capable starter with 48 career sacks.<\/p>\n

Where might he land next? Let’s look at teams that might be interested in Chubb.<\/p>\n

Los Angeles Chargers\"Jul<\/p>\n

The Chargers are flushed with cap space and might need a Khalil Mack replacement. Chubb fits the bill.<\/p>\n

Chubb played for Eagles defensive coordinator Vic Fangio with the Denver Broncos<\/a> and Miami Dolphins. The two’s extensive history together should make Philadelphia a strong possibility for Chubb’s next stop.<\/p>\n

\"Robert<\/p>\n

The Titans desperately need an ace pass-rusher to implement new coach Robert Saleh’s defensive scheme. The team leads the league in cap space and could hypothetically give Chubb the most competitive contract.<\/p>\n

Las Vegas Raiders\"GLENDALE,<\/p>\n

The Raiders are another team with a ton of cap space and a clear need on the edge. Could Chubb return to the AFC West and play for Las Vegas? The team could pay him handsomely.<\/p>\n

Washington Commanders\"Jan<\/p>\n

The Commanders were one of the NFL’s best teams in 2024, but the team fell off in 2025. If Chubb wants to join a contender, Washington qualifies if it can rebound and has plenty of cap space to boot.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Feb. 16, 2026, 11:08 a.m. ET The Miami Dolphins are releasing veteran outside linebacker Bradley Chubb, per multiple…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":9848,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[131],"tags":[2312,240,7698,7699,946,7459,7467,7701,7460,7461,692,7702,7700,688,7703,681],"class_list":["post-9847","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-chubb","tag-accessfree","tag-chubb","tag-sstssportsnfl","tag-sstsnnfl","tag-tagamerican-football","tag-tagbradley-chubb","tag-tagdenver-broncos","tag-tagkhalil-mack","tag-tagmiami-dolphins","tag-tagnfl-hub","tag-tagoverall-neutral","tag-tagphiladelphia-eagles","tag-tagrobert-saleh","tag-tagsports-news","tag-tagtennessee-titans","tag-typestory"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9847","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9847"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9847\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9848"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9847"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9847"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9847"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
