On Wednesday, the Dolphins got more help.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-1\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">Bradley Chubb&#8217;s future was\u00a0among the Dolphins&#8217; biggest offseason questions. Would Miami bring him back or release him post-June 1? Now, the Dolphins have made their decision.<\/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\">According to NFL Network&#8217;s Tom Pelissero, the Dolphins and Chubb have agreed to a revised contract.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-3\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">&#8220;Chubb wanted to stay in Miami and can earn back his full salary through incentives,&#8221; Pelissero reports.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-4\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">It is unclear if &#8220;revised&#8221; and &#8220;restructured&#8221; in the traditional sense are the same, or if something else is taking place. We may have to wait for more clarification.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-5\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">Two weeks ago, Terron Armstead told the Dolphins\u00a0he would reduce his 2025 salary\u00a0to the veteran minimum to help the team add players while he contemplates his future. The NFL salary cap increase and the adjusted contracts give Miami room to work.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"inline-text-6\" class=\"scroll-mt-24 my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">Bradley Chubb returns from his one-year injury absence and gives the Dolphins a huge gift<\/h2>\n<p id=\"inline-text-7\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">Defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver is the big winner. The Dolphins&#8217; defense exceeded expectations\u00a0<em>without<\/em>\u00a0Chubb or Jaelan Phillips for most of the season. With Chubb on the field and presumably healthy, this group can level up again.<\/p>\n<div id=\"inarticle_d_1_5\"><\/div>\n<p id=\"inline-text-8\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">It will be interesting to learn what the incentives are and how easily reachable they are. Chubb has been in the NFL since 2018 but has spent the last two-and-a-half seasons with Miami. It appeared as though\u00a0he was ready to return to the team\u00a0late in 2024, but his ACL tear was still a concern.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-9\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">With Weaver having another pass-rusher to pair with second-year Chop Robinson, the Dolphins are looking quite good off the edge.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/main><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is huge.
