For the first time in Mike McDaniel’s head coaching career, the Miami Dolphins failed to make the playoffs in 2024. The Dolphins have clear issues to address during the 2025 NFL offseason, beginning with internal adjustments.
Despite the disappointing result, the Dolphins will retain most of their key players. Except for Jevon Holland, Jordan Poyer, and Calais Campbell, each of the team’s other stars remains on contract through 2025. The Tyreek Hill situation will be one to monitor, but the star wideout has since recanted his initial trade request at the end of the regular season.
Even with the Dolphins not expected to trade Hill, their roster is due for an overhaul during the 2025 NFL offseason. Miami has one of the worst cap situations in the league, forcing them to remove dead weight from their roster if they wish to make any major offseason acquisitions. After two consecutive offseasons of uneventful transactions, the Dolphins are long overdue for a major roster-altering move.
