The Miami Dolphins<\/a>\u2018 new front office made the decision this offseason to cut ties with Bradley Chubb. After the Dolphins traded for him in 2022, the veteran pass rusher had spent four seasons in Miami. <\/p>\n Nonetheless, with the Dolphins heading into a rebuild, it made sense for the team to release the player. After Miami released him, Chubb decided to stay within the AFC East division and signed with the Buffalo Bills<\/a>. <\/p>\n During a May 15 appearance on \u201cYahoo Sports Daily,\u201d Chubb explained his decision to sign with the Bills. <\/p>\n \u201cWhy Buffalo is a great question,\u201d Chubb told hosts Jason Fitz and Caroline Fenton<\/a>. \u201cI was honestly going through the free agency process for the first time, taking it how it came to me. I had different teams calling me up, and I felt like the Bills were the best team to help me reach my goal of winning the Super Bowl. <\/p>\n \u201cThey\u2019ve been so close in the past, and as an organization, they want to get over that hump. They want to hold up that Lombardi Trophy, and that\u2019s something I wanted to do. So our goals and our visions align with that, and I felt like it was the best spot for me.\u201d<\/p>\n Bradley Chubb Excited to Play Against the Dolphins<\/p>\n Moreover, with Chubb now a Bill, he will have the opportunity to face his former team twice in the upcoming 2026 NFL<\/a> season. The pass rusher noted that he\u2019s excited about playing the Dolphins and the Denver Broncos<\/a>, two of his former teams. <\/p>\n \u201cTwo of my former teams, the Dolphins and the Broncos,\u201d Chubb added, \u201cThe Dolphins are in the division, so we\u2019re going to play them twice. That part will be fun, playing against two former teams. But I would say the game I have circled, to be honest, all of them, just to be a part of this team and be in and go to war with this team. I\u2019m excited about that.\u201d<\/p>\n Darren Waller Wants to Play This Upcoming Season<\/p>\n Another veteran player who left the Dolphins this past season is Darren Waller. The tight end came out of retirement and showed he can still play at a high level. Waller played 171 snaps, \u00a0was targeted\u00a034 times, and recorded 24 receptions, 283 receiving yards, and 6 touchdown receptions.<\/p>\n Moreover, the veteran pass catcher was asked whether he intends to continue his\u00a0NFL\u00a0career or hang up his cleats for good this time.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ve been training since the day after the Super Bowl, five days a week, nonstop, for 12 weeks now,\u201d\u00a0Waller said during a May 14 appearance on \u201cYahoo Sports Daily.\u201c<\/a>\u00a0\u201cSo, I\u2019ve been approaching it like I\u2019m playing. I ain\u2019t training like this for nothing, I\u2019ll tell you that.\u201d<\/p>\n Waller showed that, despite taking a season off, he can still contribute at a high level. The 33-year-old might not be what he was during his peak with the\u00a0Las Vegas Raiders<\/a>, but Waller showed that he can be an asset to a team.<\/p>\n It will be interesting to see if any team decides to sign him, as Chubb and Waller likely want to play on a team that can compete for a Super Bowl. <\/p>\n \n\t\t\tEduardo Razo<\/a> Eduardo Razo is a sports writer for Heavy.com, covering the NFL, MLB, and college football.
