With new faces brought in through free agency and the draft, several veterans and recent picks find themselves on the roster bubble. Here are three Dolphins in real danger of being cut after minicamp.<\/p>\n

Bradley Chubb\u2019s arrival in Miami was supposed to solidify the Dolphins\u2019 pass rush for years to come. After being acquired in a blockbuster trade and signing a lucrative three-year, $54.49 million contract extension, expectations were sky-high for the former Pro Bowler. However, Chubb\u2019s tenure has been marred by injuries, most notably a devastating knee injury in late 2023 that required surgery to repair his ACL, meniscus, and patellar tendon, causing him to miss the entire 2024 season.<\/p>\n

Despite restructuring his contract to remain with the team for 2025, Chubb\u2019s future in Miami is far from secure. The Dolphins have invested heavily in younger pass rushers, including Jaelan Phillips and 2024 first-round pick Chop Robinson, both of whom have shown flashes of star potential. With Chubb carrying a significant cap hit, over $12 million in 2025, and a crowded linebacker room, Miami could look to move on if he fails to return to form or if the younger options outperform him in camp.<\/p>\n
