Miami Dolphins

Bradley Pinion

P

The punter and kickoff specialist has been serving in both roles consistently for the past 11 seasons with the 49ers, Buccaneers and Falcons. Pinion led the NFL with 36 punts inside the 20 in 2025. He should be in line to play a similar role for Miami.

De'Von Achane

RB

Achane's availability has reportedly been a source of intrigue around the league after the Dolphins traded Jaylen Waddle to the Broncos on Tuesday in exchange for a package including Denver's first-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, but it appears Miami views the 24-year-old running back as an offensive centerpiece to build around for new quarterback Malik Willis. New general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan called Achane "a marvelous player" at the NFL Scouting Combine in February and said the team will consider extending him this offseason, as he's entering the final year of his rookie deal. He compiled a career-high 1,838 yards from scrimmage across 16 regular-season appearances in 2025 and scored 12 total touchdowns while handling 305 touches (ninth in the league) despite an undersized frame. Achane has proven himself to be one of the most versatile and efficient running backs in the NFL, so despite the Dolphins' current stance, it won't be surprising if teams around the league continue to call about his potential availability.

Charlie Heck

OT

Heck, who previously spent time with the Texans and Buccaneers, projects to operate as a depth swing tackle for the Dolphins behind Patrick Paul and Austin Jackson (back). Heck's presence will help keep thing stable up front for new quarterback Malik Willis.

Seth Vernon

P

Vernon has yet to see NFL regular-season action but will have an opportunity to do so in 2026 with the Dolphins. He appeared in nine games for the Michigan Panthers of the UFL in 2025, where he averaged 45.4 yards per punt and logged eight punts inside the opponent's 20-yard line.

Ronnie Harrison Jr.

LB

Harrison logged 29 tackles and 2.0 sacks in 10 regular-season games with the Falcons in 2025. The 2018 third-rounder started his pro career as a safety then transitioned to linebacker, a position Miami needed to bolster ahead of the coming campaign. He'll provide his new team with depth at the position as well as special-teams ability.
