Phinsider Open Live Thread: Happy 4th Of July Edition

I hope everyone enjoyed a wonderful 4th of July holiday with friends and family. Due to the fact that this evening’s thread was likely to be dead or at least nearly dead with everyone out and about celebrating the 4th of July holiday, I figured a random live thread would do just fine for one […]

How good will the Dolphins offensive line be – The Splash Zone 7/4/26

The Miami Dolphins offense is going to go through a little change, and the offensive line might look a little different this upcoming season. The team invested a first round pick on Kadyn Proctor this year and he should slide right into the left guard spot. Proctor is big and athletic, which is something this […]

Should Dolphins pursue a veteran wide receiver?

The Miami Dolphins’ wide receiver room will look vastly different in 2026 than it has in recent memory. Veterans Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle are no longer on the roster. The organization replaced them with free agents Tutu Atwell and Jalen Tolbert, while also drafting three receivers in the middle rounds of the 2026 NFL […]

Miami Dolphins Discussion: How To Handle Malik Willis Edition

By signing Malik Willis to a $67.5 million contract, with $45 million guaranteed, the Miami Dolphins have clearly signaled that the new regime intends for him to be the undisputed starter for the 2026-2027 NFL season. Replacing Tua Tagovailoa with Willis marks a major transition that will undoubtedly require a significant shift in the team’s […]

Sports Illustrated ranks Dolphins uniforms top-10 for entire NFL

The Miami Dolphins may not put forth an exciting product for fans during the 2026 season, but at least they’ll be dressed for success while you’re watching them try. This week, Sports Illustrated released their rankings of the best uniforms in the entire National Football League, and the Dolphins cracked the top-10 — coming in […]

Pathway to a winning season for 2026 Miami Dolphins

Let’s be real for a second. No one expects the Miami Dolphins to experience much success during the first season of new head coach Jeff Hafley’s tenure with the organization. After all, the franchise is in the beginning stages of yet another rebuild attempt after parting ways with quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, wide receivers Jaylen Waddle […]

Dolphin players with the most to prove – The Splash Zone 7/2/26

With an entirely revamped roster, there will be several players on the Miami Dolphins who will need to step up if they want to be part of the team moving forward. Chop Robinson is one of those players who needs to show he belongs. He had a disappointing second season after finishing his rookie season […]

Dolphins most interesting games – The Splash Zone 7/1/26

The Miami Dolphins enter the 2026 season with little expectations as a new regime has entered town and gutted the roster. The team did need to go through some changes and hopefully with some time, they can get back to their winning ways. But looking ahead to this upcoming season, there are a few games […]

Miami Dolphins Discussion: 2026 NFL Schedule Edition

As the Miami Dolphins enter another season under a new regime and navigate significant roster changes, there is a palpable sense of uncertainty surrounding the team. Like many of you, however, I am eager to see how the squad performs once the regular season begins. Miami faces a challenging road ahead, as the team is […]

Dolphins make large donation to Venezuelan relief fund

Last week, a devastating earthquake hit the country of Venezuela, leaving tens of thousands of people missing and a confirmed death toll of over 1,700 people at the time of this writing. On Tuesday morning, the Miami Dolphins announced that through the Miami Dolphins Foundation, the organization and owner Stephen Ross would be donating $100,000 […]

ESPN gives Dolphins high praise in offseason report cards

With just over two months left until the start of next season, the NFL offseason is nearly complete. Free agency and the draft have passed, post-June 1st cuts and trades have largely been completed, and teams are looking forward to Week 1 of the 2026 season. The Miami Dolphins, of course, are one of those […]

Evaluating Jeff Hafley in year 1 – The Splash Zone 6/30/26

Between fans and analysts, there isn’t much hope for the Miami Dolphins this upcoming season after gutting their roster to get younger. This season should be all about laying the foundation under new head coach Jeff Hafley. This team isn’t going to win much, probably. But wins shouldn’t be what we judge Hafley and the […]

Miami Dolphins Discussion: The Greg Dulcich Edition

This time of year, NFL analysts often scramble for storylines during the offseason’s news drought. ESPN, as a dominant force in sports media—particularly following their increased control over the NFL Network—is no exception to this trend. One of those recent storylines on ESPN was who has been the biggest surprise for individual NFL teams this […]

Kadyn Proctor and Chris Johnson impressing Dolphins coaching staff and teammates

The Miami Dolphins had two first round picks in the 2026 NFL Draft — Jon-Eric Sullivan’s first as the team’s new general manager. Offensive lineman Kadyn Proctor was taken with the 12th overall pick, while cornerback Chris Johnson was nabbed with the 27th selection after Miami traded up with the San Francisco 49ers. ESPN’s Marcel […]

Big expectations for Chris Johnson – The Splash Zone 6/29/26

After being selected in the first round of this year’s NFL Draft, Kadyn Proctor and Chris Johnson are expected to be immediate starters. Proctor should slide right into the left guard spot while Johnson might just be the Miami Dolphins top cornerback. There are high expectations for Johnson, considering what Jeff Hafley outlined what the […]

Dolphins Fans Take On Possible QB Competition

In a recent episode of the Dolphins Collective on YouTube, the discussion centered on OTA performance, noting that QB Malik Willis has lived up to expectations while QB Quinn Ewers has exceeded them. Notably, two of the hosts—Omar Kelly of the Miami Herald and Alain Poupart of Sports Illustrated—who attended all six media-accessible OTA sessions, […]

Miami Dolphins Fans Sound Off On Stefon Diggs Rumors

This past week, I mentioned that there were rumors that our Miami Dolphins were considering signing Stefon Diggs to help shore up the wide receivers room. I then asked the following question: Are you in favor of the Miami Dolphins kicking the tires on and possibly signing wideout Stefon Diggs for the 2026 season, and […]

Is the Dolphins receiver room that bad – The Splash Zone 6/27/26

National analysts do not have high hopes for the Miami Dolphins this season and they are also not impressed with the supporting cast on offense, mainly the wide receiver unit. The team lacks a true #1 receiver but has plenty of veterans and rookies that could operate as the second option. This offense right now […]

Would you trade Dolphins linebacker Jordyn Brooks?

Earlier this week, Marcel Louis-Jacques named Dolphins linebacker Jordyn Brooks as the most likely player on the team to receive an extension. He cited the new deals that running back De’Von Achane and center Aaron Brewer signed earlier this offseason when claiming that it’s reasonable to assume Brooks is next in line to get the […]
