The Miami Dolphins cleared approximately $20 million in salary cap space on June 1 following the official post-June 1 cuts of quarterback Tua Tagovailoa and linebacker Bradley Chubb. Half of this cap relief is expected to go toward their 13 picks in the 2026 NFL draft. The remaining funds may be used to sign a veteran free agent to bolster the roster, with potential targets including wide receiver Stefon Diggs, tight end Darren Waller, and offensive lineman Kevin Zeitler. The Dolphins are aiming to improve their competitive standing for the coming season.
