The Miami Dolphins are shaking up their defence.
The Dolphins released pass rusher Bradley Chubb, NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reported on Monday.
Chubb’s restructure last year had a cap number of more than $31 million for 2026 and 2027, so the Dolphins may have always intended to release him, as NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport explained.
Miami will save $7.3 million in cap space while taking on $23.8 million in dead money by moving on from Chubb.
Chubb joined the Dolphins in 2022 after a trade with the Denver Broncos in which Miami sent a first and a fourth-round pick and running back Chase Edmonds.
The 29-year-old played in 41 games with the Dolphins, registering 133 tackles, 22 sacks, 22 tackles for loss and nine forced fumbles.
