3 MINUTE AGO! MY GOD! “MIAMI DOLPHINS MAKING ANOTHER BLOCKBUSTER TRADE FOR THREE‑TIME PRO BOWLER?”
Hey Dolphins fans, I’m Dustin Davis and welcome to Dolphins Express Report. For the Miami Dolphins, the 2025 training camp isn’t just another summer gathering. It’s a crucible that will test every roster move, every bold gamble, and every ounce of resolve within this franchise. From seismic trades that shook the NFL landscape to contract disputes that threaten locker room unity, each decision made in the coming weeks possesses the power to either ignite a championship chase or condemn Miami to another year of whatifs. Can this team align its high-flying ambitions with flawless execution? Or will cracks in chemistry and strategy derail its shot at greatness? The answers lie ahead as we peel back the layers of Miami’s offseason maneuvers, trade candidates, blockbuster swaps, and critical negotiations that set the stage for a defining summer. Let’s find out everything that’s happening with the Dolphins and what’s coming next, including a big addition or not. Before we continue, can I ask for your help? Just leave a like. So many of you watch us daily and forget that thumbs up. It’s a humble way to support and helps more than you know. Thanks a lot. On the surface, the Dolphins off season reads like a blueprint for success. Marquee signings, splashy departures, and a roster flush with potential. Yet, beneath the headlines, quiet calculations are underway. Head coach Mike McDaniel and quarterback Tua Tonga Aloa face enormous pressure to transform last season’s early playoff exit into a distant memory. With the AFC East intensifying its grip, Miami’s front office must evaluate even its dependable contributors as possible trade assets once roster cuts approach. The departures of safety Javon Holland and veteran edge rusher Kias Campbell, coupled with trading allpro cornerback Jaylen Ramsay to Pittsburgh, raise fresh doubts about Miami’s ability to leapfrog the Buffalo Bills and reclaim the division’s runner-up status. Let’s analyze two players whose offseason moves may lead them straight to the trade block once training camp buzz subsides. Alexander Madison. When the Dolphins inked running back Alexander Madison to a one-year deal, they banked on his rugged style between the tackles and reliable hands in space. Tasked with reinforcing depth behind emerging star Devon Achain, secondyear back Jaylen Wright, and explosive rookie Oan Matthysse Gordon II, Madison now find himself squeezed in a backfield tilting toward youth. Across 89 career games, 26 starts, Madison has demonstrated toughness and third down prowess. Last season in Las Vegas, he compiled 420 rushing yards with four touchdowns while contributing 36 receptions for 294 yards through the air. Yet, a career-l average of 3.2 yards per carry underscores his limitations in a scheme predicated on speed and flexibility. With Achain and Wright entrenched as the Dolphins backfield core and Gordon II dazzling in spring drills, Madison’s expiring contract and modest salary may make him an enticing target for contenders in need of reliable insurance. A mid-camp trade could free a roster spot, net draft picks to address pressing needs, and shield Miami from mid-season roster wos, transforming one man’s backup role into another team’s strategic asset. John Saunders Jr. Undrafted out of Miss Safety John Saunders Jr. epitomizes a camp hopeful perched on the roster bubble. His three-year $2.98 million rookie contract carries only $120,000 guaranteed. A stark reflection of his uphill battle in a safety room stocked with Minka Fitzpatrick. If Melanu, Ashton Davis, upwardly woble Patrick McMorris, and emerging Dante Trader Jr. Seven safeties vying for precious practice reps leaves Saunders on the outside looking in. Though he flashed playmaking potential in offseason drills, his limited tape and lack of a defined role work against him. The blockbuster acquisition of Fitzpatrick only deepens the long jam, making Saunders a logical, movable piece. Trading or even releasing Saunders would yield roster breathing room and allow Miami to redirect resources toward more urgent needs. For Saunders, a change of scenery could unlock a clearer path to playing time while the Dolphins shore up another position on the roster. No offseason move generated more buzz than Miami’s decision to send Jaylen Ramsay and tight end John New Smith to Pittsburgh in exchange for all pro safety Minka Fitzpatrick and draft compensation. Coming off an 8-9 finish in 2024, the Dolphins swung for the fences, betting that Fitzpatrick’s ball hawking instincts and leadership would spark a defensive renaissance. Yet, Bleacher Report analyst Christopher Knox warns that Fitzpatrick’s best years may lie behind him. Though his resume gleams with honors, his recent production, one interception over the past two campaigns and a targeted passer rating allowed of 127.6, raised red flags about replicating early career dominance in Miami’s new scheme. If Fitzpatrick fails to restore balance to the swipe secondary, the Dolphins risk a lopsided outcome that could haunt South Beach for years. Every snap will magnify the stakes. As Miami depends on unwavering excellence from its newest defensive centerpiece. As camp approaches, an even more pressing dilemma lurks behind closed doors. The contract impass with defensive lineman Zack Celler. Fresh off back-to-back 10 sack seasons and the only NFL player to achieve that feat without his longtime counterpart Christian Wilkins. Cer stands as the lynch pin of Miami’s pass rush. His absence from voluntary workout sent a clear signal of discontent, though he honored his commitment at mandatory mini camp. Now sealer’s camp seeks a deal reflective of his productivity. Void years on his contract and base salaries north of $7 million in 2025 and 2026 have ballooned his cap hits above $10 million annually. Should Sealer hold out or acrew fines, Miami risks a fractured defensive front and a distracted locker room. A swift renegotiation, whether a one-year bump or multi-year extension, could stabilize the salary structure and preserve onfield focus. After overpaying for Ramsay only to see mixed returns, Miami’s front office knows the perils of misaligned incentives. Granting Sealers modest requests now may prove the difference between unfinished business and a season unraveling under its own weight. While internal negotiations simmer, Miami’s pass catching court still lacks depth. Jonnu Smith’s departure left a glaring hole even after coaxing Darren Waller out of retirement. Waller’s 2023 tally, 52 catches for 552 yards and one touchdown over 12 games is respectable, but his injury history and volatility generate concern. Dolphins today’s Nick Rolof emphasizes the need for another reliable veteran at tight end. Enter Mark Andrews, Baltimore’s three-time Pro Bowler and red zone virtuoso. Though his 2024 production dipped to 55 receptions, 673 yards, and 11 touchdowns, Andrews track record over the past five seasons ranks him among the league’s elite. At 29, with rookie Isaiah likely waiting in the wings, Andrews could be available for the right price. His seamstretching ability, contested catch acumen, and red zone prowess fit seamlessly into Mike McDaniel’s creative offense. While surrendering draft capital stings, Andrew’s immediate impact, especially in clutch moments could tilt tight contests in Miami’s favor. As Miami juggles internal negotiations and external targets, the quarterback quandry remains unresolved. And another suitor has quietly emerged. Following the Jaylen Ramsay fallout, capped by his public displeasure and a fractured rapport with coach McDaniel, the Dolphins find themselves urgently hunting for a veteran shutdown corner. Now, chatter out of Cleveland suggests a viable swap could bridge the gap. The tipping point came after reports of a toxic clubhouse culture and repeated miscues in personal management. CBS Sports Cody Benjamin didn’t mince words. Set aside the iffy football decisions, unstable offensive lines, mishandled mega deals, and you’re left with a franchise caught in perpetual drama. Miami has been the NFL equivalent of an accident waiting to happen. Those tensions reached their zenith in the Ramsay impass, which insiders say was rooted not in dollars, but a deep-seated vote of no confidence in McDaniel’s leadership. An anonymous league scout confirmed that Ramsay’s desire to depart had little to do with contract specifics. He’s on the block because the relationship with McDaniel is irreparable, the scout revealed. It’s not about the money, it’s about trust. When you lose that, secondary talent drains away in an instant. After criticism from Asante Samuel Jr. and being out of the question, his father publicly lambasting the franchise. The Dolphins turned their attention north to Cleveland steps chart for the wins. Cory Woodroof posits that former firstrounder Greg Nuome could be Miami’s answer. Newsome operating on his fifthear option may find himself squeezed out of the Browns starting lineup. If healthy, he offers the length and agility Miami covets, capable of manning an outside spot immediately. With Newsome’s 2025 salary cap hit pegged at roughly $12 million, the price tag mirrors what the Dolphins once reserved for Ramsay. In exchange, Miami could package mid-round draft picks or a savvy depth piece. Facing a division rife with explosive receivers, securing a polished cover corner isn’t optional. It’s imperative. As training camp looms, the Dolphins must finalize a trade that restores stability to a defense already reeling from offseason upheaval. Should the Browns deal materialize, Miami would not only plug a glaring hole, but send a clear message. No longer will they tolerate discord or compromise on the back end. Do you trust Minka Fitzpatrick to validate Miami’s blockbuster swap, or will the pressure prove too much? How crucial is it for the Dolphins to lock in Zack Sealer’s future before camp truly begins? And what about the proposed Browns trade to land Greg Newsome as a $12 million replacement for Jaylen Ramsay? Would you pull the trigger on that deal?
