The Miami Dolphins are in an interesting position heading into this season. They\u2019re not well-positioned to win now after trading away some key weapons, they don\u2019t have the cap space to sign impactful players, and things could be trending downward\u2014with head coach Mike McDaniel firmly on the hot seat.<\/p>\n
\u201cAll of those now put a tremendous amount of pressure on McDaniel, who is coming off his first under .500 season with the Dolphins, who were also on the outside looking in on the playoffs. We already listed McDaniel as a head coach with one of the hottest seats in the NFL entering 2025, and the road to save his job just got even more difficult,\u201d CBS Sports\u2019 Tyler Sullivan wrote.<\/a><\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n The Dolphins are working to clear cap space, but it\u2019s not helping McDaniel\u2019s case. The players with the most expensive contracts are the team\u2019s veterans. Pro Football Network\u2019s Jacob Infante even predicts that the Dolphins could make a shocking move by cutting Tyreek Hill.<\/p>\n \u201cFor the record, Tyreek Hill makes much more sense as a trade option. Not only would a player of his caliber reel in solid value in a trade, but the Miami Dolphins would save over $20 million more trading him rather than releasing him,\u201d Infante wrote.<\/a><\/p>\n Hill is entering this season with a completely new mindset\u2014very different from a year ago, when it seemed like he might not return to Miami.<\/p>\n \u201cHill is down 14 pounds (from 197 to 183) to a more comfortable weight as he once again sets his eyes on 2,000 yards receiving for the season,\u201d CBS Sports\u2019 Jordan Dajani wrote.<\/a><\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n
