McDaniel went on to say he has spent “zero time trying to forecast that room because I recognize supreme competition when I see it,” later suggesting he hopes to incorporate De’Von Achane in a more diverse manner in his upcoming second NFL season. Increased passing-game opportunities would help Achane return value on his late-second-round ADP but Mostert’s eighth-round ADP offers substantially more value if he can remain healthy in his age-32 season. Fourth-round rookie RB Jaylen Wright is also likely to factor in, and makes for a high-upside, late-round pick.

Hill is currently under contract through 2026 and said last spring he may retire once his current deal expires. Whether or not that comes to fruition is to be determined, but regardless, Hill could still work out a new deal with the Dolphins if the team is interested in getting something done. Hill caught 119 passes for 1,799 yards and 13 touchdowns last season, leading the league in receiving yards. The recent new contracts signed by Justin Jefferson, Amon-Ra St. Brown, and Jaylen Waddle have increased the market for receivers, leaving more money to be had for the league’s top stars. Hill is undoubtedly deserving of a new contract, but with the bill also coming due for Tua Tagovailoa, it’s possible the veteran receiver will have to wait until Tagovailoa’s deal gets figured out.

As Schefter pointed out on NFL Live, the market for quarterbacks has seen a massive shift in recent weeks, with Jared Goff and Trevor Lawrence recently signing massive deals. According to Schefter, the Dolphins and Tagovailoa are now left to figure out “what is the proper value for a quarterback of [Tagovailoa’s] abilities,’ which could leave him on the shorter end of some of the deals we’ve seen given to quarterbacks as of late. Tagovailoa led the league with 4,624 passing yards last season and added another 29 touchdowns and 14 interceptions. He’s currently set to play out 2024 on the fifth-year option that was picked up last offseason, but Schefter believes a deal will eventually get done between the two sides. If Tagovailoa wants a deal similar to those of Goff and Lawerence, it’s possible he’ll need to play out this final year and prove to the Dolphins’ front office he’s worth that kind of commitment.

Campbell has mulled retirement for the last several seasons but is now set to join the Dolphins on what is likely a one-year deal. The soon-to-be 38-year-old totaled 6.5 sacks and 10 TFLs in his lone season with the Falcons and is now ready to return to Miami, where he played in college ball from 2005-2007. Campbell should provide immediate help along the interior for a defense that lost defensive tackle Christian Wilkins to the Raiders via free agency and continues to play at a high enough level to be an impact player. Amongst defensive linemen who played at least 300 snaps last season, Calais ranked 39th with a defensive grade of 80.0.

In hopes of bolstering a pass rush that lost two of its premiere players to Achilles injuries last season, the Dolphins went out and added Robinson to the mix. The 21-year-old rookie totaled 11.5 sacks in his three collegiate seasons while also racking up 20 TFLs. Robinson’s deal includes a $7.7 million signing bonus.

Maye drew significant interest this offseason after being released by the Saints, ultimately choosing to be part of a Super Bowl contender in Miami. The Dolphins made multiple additions to their secondary this offseason with the signings of Kendall Fuller and Jordan Poyer, meaning Maye likely chose fewer snaps for the chance at chasing a ring. Either way, Maye brings veteran savvy to a Miami roster primed for a deep playoff run.

Washington was taken as a flier after a 2023 collegiate season in which he had the fifth most receiving yards in the nation and the most receptions. The highly-productive Washington could function as Miami’s WR3 if Odell Beckham struggles or misses time with injury this season. He’ll be a waiver wire name to monitor in 2024. The Dolphins also signed seventh round WR Tahj Washington and speedy RB Jaylen Wright, the 120th overall pick in the 2024 draft. Wright would be an interesting fantasy option if De’Von Achane or Raheem Mostert miss time.

Per ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Waddle’s deal includes $76 million in guaranteed money, as the star receiver is now under contract through 2028. Waddle has been one of the most productive receivers in the league since being drafted in 2021, tallying up 3,385 yards and 18 touchdowns through his first three seasons. He’s managed to eclipse 1,000 yards in each of his first three seasons despite playing alongside Tyreek Hill for each of the last two years. Reaching a long-term deal with Waddle was a no-brainer for both sides, as the Dolphins get him under contract with two years still left on his rookie deal, and he’ll have a chance to earn another big deal after his age-30 season.

Wolfe said Tua dropped the weight “seeking more agility/escapability.” It’s a worthwhile effort from a largely immobile passer who was dead in the water last year as soon as pass rushers broke through the Miami offensive line. A slightly more mobile Tua — one who could break the pocket and make plays out of structure — would add an entirely new element to a dangerous Dolphins offense. Tagovailoa, who is working on a long-term deal with the team, reported to OTAs on Monday. Wolfe said he expects Tua to get $50 million a year in his new deal, in line with Jared Goff’s recent extension with the Lions.

Last week, it was reported that it was “unclear” whether Tagovailoa would report to OTAs, as he and the Dolphins are in the midst of contract negotiations. Tagovailoa reportedly turned down one contract offer from the Dolphins earlier this offseason, and with Jared Goff fresh off the heels of signing a new deal that will net him more than $50 million a year, a new precedent has been established for Tagovailoa, who could be seeking top dollar on a market that’s been very kind to quarterbacks in recent offseasons. Tagovailoa has thrown for 25-plus touchdowns in back-to-back seasons and led the Dolphins to a 19-11 record in his starts over that span. He’ll almost certainly get the deal he’s looking for at some point, even if the on-field performance hasn’t quite matched the high-end money coming his way.
