This could lead to some major schematic and personnel changes on defense.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-1\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">Safety Jevon Holland, a pending free agent, sees the writing on the wall. Holland has made his feelings about Miami known on social media, seemingly implying that the Dolphins\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nfl.com\/news\/safety-jevon-holland-thinks-dolphins-social-media-indicates-they-ve-kind-of-moved-on\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-uw-rm-brl=\"PR\" data-uw-original-href=\"https:\/\/www.nfl.com\/news\/safety-jevon-holland-thinks-dolphins-social-media-indicates-they-ve-kind-of-moved-on\" aria-label=\"don't have either the financial means or interest - open in a new tab\" data-uw-rm-ext-link=\"\">d<\/a>on&#8217;t have either the financial means or interest\u00a0(or both) to bring him back in the immediate future.<\/p>\n<div id=\"inarticle_d_1_4\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"external_HTML\"><\/div>\n<p id=\"inline-text-2\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">If the Dolphins are going to\u00a0let Holland walk in free agency, it would seem unwise to entrust such an important position to a rookie in a make-or-break season. The veteran market is still ripe with bounce-back candidates for Miami to target, including one who will become added to the mix soon.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-3\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">Former Cleveland Browns safety Juan Thornhill was informed that\u00a0he would be released\u00a0with one year left on his contract. Now able to be signed by any team, a cash-strapped Dolphins squad in need of some extra depth in the secondary would be a perfect spot for Thornhill to give his career a shot of adrenaline.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"inline-text-4\" class=\"scroll-mt-24 my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">Dolphins should consider Juan Thornhill signing to replace Jevon Holland<\/h2>\n<p id=\"inline-text-5\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">Thornhill already has two rings on his fingers, as he was a key member of Steve Spagnuolo&#8217;s defense with the Kansas City Chiefs. One of many players KC couldn&#8217;t afford to keep after paying Patrick Mahomes and Chris Jones, Thornhill signed with the Browns in free agency.<\/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\">Thornhill didn&#8217;t have a perfect time in Cleveland, as he failed to force a turnover in two seasons and was caught showing a lack of effort late in a wretched 2024 season. However, Thornhill&#8217;s decline may be the product of being an imperfect fit in Cleveland&#8217;s defense.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-7\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">In an Anthony Weaver defense\u00a0that has the safeties do more than just hang back in coverage, Thornhill can get back to playing the same hard-hitting role he manned in Kansas City. Thornhill is still a great open-field tackler, and that trait is sorely needed in this Miami defense.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-8\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">Miami will need to find some solid cheap alternatives in free agency due to their lack of cap space, and Thornhill is a perfect reclamation project. In the right role, Thornhill could find himself revitalized in Miami, all while the Dolphins are free to use their draft capital to fix their play in the trenches.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/main><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Las Vegas Raiders v Miami Dolphins | Brandon Sloter\/GettyImages The 2024 season proved that the Miami Dolphins need to switch things up on both sides of the&#8230;
