Last year, the Miami Dolphins experienced a renaissance under first-year head coach Mike McDaniel. Led by Tua Tagovailoa and Tyreek Hill, they reentered the playoffs for the first time since 2016 but lost 31-34 at the divisional rival Buffalo Bills.

The offseason was highlighted by the trade for elite cornerback Jalen Ramsey, who will form a top-tier secondary with fellow Pro Bowler Xavier Howard and safeties DeShon Elliott and Jevon Holland.

The team has also splurged on additional protection for Tagovailoa in the form of former Jets Dan Feeney and Cedric Ogbuehi, who will join Pro Bowler Terron Armstead in freeing up Hill, Jaylen Waddle, and Braxton Berrios for catches and Raheem Mostert and Devon Achane for rushes.

McDaniel and general manager Chris Grier hope these splurges will give the Dolphins their first AFC top seed since the Dan Marino days.
