At Miami’s bye, the Dolphins’ offensive depth chart comes with a fresh layer of roster sorting: who’s under contract, who’s nearing the end of the line, and who looks positioned to be around when 2027 training camp rolls in. The team has reshaped the roster in 2026, and the offensive side is no exception.
At the top of the board is Malik Willis, who joined the Dolphins as a UFA from the Green Bay Packers in 2026. He’s signed through 2028, won’t hit free agency until 2029, and carries a 2026 cap number of $5.7 million. The early read for 2027: With the Dolphins.
Kyle McCord, acquired in a trade with the Green Bay Packers in 2026, is also set up to stay. He’s under contract through 2026, becomes an ERFA in 2029, and has an $885K cap hit this year. His 2027 outlook: With the Dolphins.
De'Von Achane is on injured reserve, but his place in the long-term picture is secure. The third-round pick from 2023 signed a contract extension in 2026, is locked in through 2030, and won’t be a UFA until 2031. His 2026 cap number is $3.2 million, and the 2027 outlook is: With the Dolphins.
Jaylen Wright, a fourth-round pick in 2024, is signed through 2027 with a UFA date in 2028 and a 2026 cap number of $1.3 million. His 2027 outlook is listed as up in the air.
Ollie Gordon II, a sixth-round pick in 2025, is signed through 2028, won’t be eligible for UFA status until 2029, and counts $1.1 million against the cap in 2026. The outlook: With the Dolphins.
Trayvon Allen, claimed off waivers from the Washington Commanders in 2026, is signed through 2029, becomes a UFA in 2030, and has a 2026 cap number of $688K. His 2027 outlook is up in the air.
Malik Washington, a sixth-round pick in 2024, is signed through 2027 and becomes a UFA in 2028. His 2026 cap number is $1.1 million, and he’s expected to be with the Dolphins in 2027.

Dolphins Rookies Are Already Answering Questions Miami Desperately Needed Solved
Five games into the season, the Dolphins are already getting early signs that their 2026 draft class may have answered some of the biggest questions hanging over the roster. Offensive lineman Kadyn Proctor has settled in quickly and looks like a real solution up front, while the early returns on the group have given general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan a boost in a draft that drew plenty of second-guessing at the time.
The encouraging start has not been limited to one spot, either. Caleb Douglas showed enough in camp and in the opener to suggest Miami had added another useful piece at receiver before an ankle injury in Week 2 stopped that momentum, and Chris Johnson has been developing into the kind of corner the Dolphins can trust in coverage. There is still a long season ahead, but the first month has made the rookie class look like a real reason for optimism. [Read more 🡒]
Tyreek Hill's Uncertain Future Keeps One Dolphins Storyline Alive
Tyreek Hills future has stayed one of the more intriguing loose ends around the Dolphins, even with the offseason moving along and plenty of other roster issues demanding attention. The unresolved contract situation has kept the conversation alive, and the latest tone from his camp suggests there is still no clean finish line in sight as teams weigh the fit and the timing.
Hills agent has described the process as fluid, with a deal still possible at any moment as everyone tries to land on the right medical and contractual terms. His knee health, the possibility of a suspension tied to the civil lawsuit, and his contract demands are all part of the holdup, which means Miami is still watching one of the leagues biggest names without real clarity on what comes next.

Malik Willis Is Forcing A Dolphins Question Nobody Wanted Answered
The Dolphins are still searching for their first win of the season, and the offense has been part of the reason the start has gone sideways. Malik Willis has been under the microscope from the opening weeks, trying to stabilize a unit that has too often looked stuck in neutral, and the numbers behind his performance have only made the conversation louder around Miami.
Through five games, Willis has completed 56.2% of his passes for 849 yards, with 2 touchdowns and 4 interceptions, leaving him with a 68.4 passer rating that sits at the bottom of the league among quarterbacks with at least four starts. The bigger concern is where this could be headed if nothing changes soon, because the pace he is on would put him in rare and uncomfortable company for a full-season starter. [Read more 🡒]
