2026 Miami Dolphins Season Preview: "Roster", Ratings, & Odds

The gist

1. The hosts note Miami's $182 million dead cap, about 60% of the cap, means paying more to departed players than to the active roster.
2. The new Green Bay-linked regime brought in Malik Willis, whose 57 snaps last year were excellent but, the hosts stress, a tiny sample.
3. One host ranks the pass catchers 32nd of 32, leaving running back Achane and a 13-pick draft class as the main bright spots.
4. The hosts rate Miami at minus 5.3 and minus 4.09 against a market minus 5.92, and see five wins as a best case.
5. Neither host wants to bet the team, though one floats Willis rushing yards over or first-half spreads where Miami's running game can help.
