<\/a>Four players played over 800 snaps, per Pro Football Focus (subscription required<\/a>): left tackle Patrick Paul<\/a>, left guard Jonah Savaiinaea<\/a>, center Aaron Brewer<\/a>, and right guard Cole Strange<\/a>.\u00a0Austin Jackson<\/a> held the starting right tackle job in Week 1, but injuries resulted in Larry Borom<\/a> finishing the year with 11 starts.<\/p>\nBorom left in free agency<\/a>, but Jackson agreed to a revised contract<\/a> and will likely enter the season as the starting right tackle once again. Strange\u2019s departure to Los Angeles<\/a> will force new offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik to find a new right guard, and after ranking as the NFL\u2019s lowest-graded starting offensive lineman in 2025 (via PFF<\/a>), Savaiinaea\u2019s starting job may not be secure, either.<\/p>\n New free agent signing<\/a> Jamaree Salyer<\/a>\u00a0is expected to factor into the starting guard competition in Miami this summer, according to Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald<\/a>. In fact, such an opportunity was among the reasons he opted to take an inexpensive deal in Miami over better offers from other teams.<\/p>\n The 2022 sixth-round pick took over as the Chargers\u2019 starting left tackle four games into his rookie year but was replaced by Rashawn Slater<\/a> after he was drafted the following spring. Salyer played almost every snap at right guard in 2024 and has spent the last two years as a versatile backup. That skillset came in handy amid the Chargers\u2019 offensive line injuries, with Salyer starting nine games and taking snaps at every position except center.<\/p>\n His competition for a starting guard gig will include Savaiinaea and Andrew Meyer<\/a>, per Jackson, and the team could also augment the position with another veteran signing or a draft pick in April. Kion Smith<\/a>, who started two games last year, could also get a look, though he struggled mightily in his limited playing time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The 2025 season was one of the healthiest in recent memory for the Dolphins\u2019 offensive line.
