Outside linebackers Jaelan Phillips and Bradley Chubb, along with right tackle Austin Jackson, should be healthy by the start of next season after none were available for the final stretch this year. Chubb suffered his ACL tear, plus injuries to a patella and meniscus, on Dec. 31, 2023, but his attempt to make it back to playing in 2024 fell short.

The Miami Dolphins will need a new safety with the potential exit of Jevon Holland, leading to a new prediction of an All-Pro replacement.

The Dolphins have 32 impending free agents, including a few of their impact players from this season. They are also bottom four in cap space and effective cap space, so they might not be able to retain all, or even most, of those players. Miami will probably need to move on from a few of its rostered players too.

The Miami Dolphins' salary cap situation for 2025 is not ideal, to say the least. Let's take a look at what they could do to clear space for moves.
