Bradley Chubb Hits The Open Market

The following sentence applies to all available edge rushers who, if motivated, the Bucs could sign:
Beggars can’t be choosers.
Per NFL insider Jordan Schultz, the Dolphins are expected to release former star edge rusher Bradley Chubb. The two-time Pro Bowler turns 30 in June (danger Will Robinson!) but he did have 8.5 sacks last year for the lousy Dolphins, which is more than any Bucs player has had since 2021.
The 8.5 sacks last season was the third-most of Chubb’s career.
Chubb blew out his knee and missed all of 2024 but bounced back nicely, starting all 17 games for the lowly Dolphins.
If the Bucs could get Chubb on a team-friendly, incentive-laden contract, of course, he would be a fine addition.
The free agency dinner bell rings three weeks from today at noon.
Sources: The #Dolphins and two-time Pro Bowl pass-rusher Bradley Chubb are parting ways, making the 29-year-old a free agent.
In his two full seasons with the Dolphins (2023 & 2025), Chubb has 20 sacks, 8 FF, and 117 tackles. He should have a nice market. pic.twitter.com/u19NEaBZV9
