Dolphins claim seven players after cutting roster to 53 men

The Miami Dolphins aggressively reshaped their roster on Monday, claiming an NFL-high seven players off waivers one day after finalizing their 53-man squad. Among the additions is quarterback Brady Cook, formerly of the New York Jets, along with several players to bolster the offensive line and secondary. The organization released eight players to accommodate these moves and subsequently established a practice squad. General manager Jon-Eric Sullivan described the roster churn as a necessary step to move away from recent years of team mediocrity. The club enters the 2026 season with the youngest active roster in the league, maintaining an average player age of 25 years. Team leadership has signaled a long-term approach to development as they evaluate the new personnel combinations.
