The Miami Dolphins had a great start of the 2023 season after a 6-2 record but, everything started to fall apart with three losses in their final five games. In the end, they couldn’t win the AFC East and were eliminated by Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs in the Wild Card round of the playoffs.

The problem looking toward 2024 seems to be on defense. Jaelan Phillips and Bradley Chubb are still recovering from big injuries, cornerback Xavien Howard has been released and linebacker Andrew Van Ginkel already signed with the Minnesota Vikings after becoming a free agent.

However, the offense keeps their core group with quarterback Tua Tagovailoa alongside the most explosive duo of wide receivers in the NFL: Tyreek Hilll and Jaylen Waddle.
