These 28 Miami Dolphins are scheduled to be unrestricted free agents after the 2024 season

MIAMI GARDENS - The Miami Dolphins wrapped up an NFL Draft led by general manager Chris Grier.

Miami's top two picks were edge rusher Chop Robinson of Penn State and left tackle Patrick Paul of Houston.

Miami will try to win its first playoff game since 2000 this season.

The Dolphins have already picked up the fifth-year options for edge rusher Jaelan Phillips and wide receiver Jaylen Waddle, meaning the stars are under contract for at least 2024 and 2025.

The Dolphins are looking to extend quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, who would otherwise be an unrestricted free agent likely to be franchise-tagged.

They certainly may extend safety Jevon Holland, Waddle and/or Phillips as well.

That said, here is the list of the 2025 free agents for the Dolphins:
