Holland would be smart to hit the market at least through the legal tampering period to get an idea of what other teams may view his value as.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-3\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">While we don&#8217;t yet know how much Holland will actually make,\u00a0Pro Football Focus has projected\u00a0what contract the Dolphins&#8217; safety will sign this offseason.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"inline-text-4\" class=\"scroll-mt-24 my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">Jevon Holland&#8217;s next contract could be too much for the Dolphins to match<\/h2>\n<p id=\"inline-text-5\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\" data-uw-rm-sr=\"\">PFF believes Holland will land a four-year contract in the $95 million range, with $57.5 million guaranteed. The deal would put Holland at nearly $20 million per season, which isn&#8217;t something the Dolphins can afford.<\/p>\n<div id=\"inarticle_d_1_5\"><\/div>\n<p id=\"inline-text-6\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">The Dolphins will also likely look at this as a potential compensatory pick situation for 2026. A contract this size is not one they will likely give out this offseason to another player to offset the loss of Holland. It could land Miami a third-round pick next year.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-7\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">Holland is considered one of the two best safeties in this year&#8217;s free-agent class, so it makes sense for him to test the market. The Dolphins could have extended him in the summer but opted not to. General manager Chris Grier spoke previously about talking with his team last offseason about a new deal, but Holland said they were not discussing a contract extension.<\/p>\n<div id=\"inarticle_d_1_6\"><\/div>\n<p id=\"inline-text-8\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">The Dolphins\u00a0will likely need to replace both Holland\u00a0and impending free agent Jordan Poyer. They only have Patrick McMorris, a seventh-round pick in 2024, on the roster as a potential starter.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-9\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">The safety didn&#8217;t have a great season. Add in Holland&#8217;s projected contract, and he is likely gone this offseason.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/main><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It would be surprising if the Dolphins paid Holland this much.
