After losing Christian Wilkins and Raekwon Davis in free agency last year, the Dolphins' strategy to replenish their defensive line was to sign several veterans to one-year deals and have them compete for roster spots. Calais Campbell, Benito Jones, Teair Tart, Jonathan Harris, Neville Gallimore and Isaiah Mack were all added, with Campbell and Jones eventually winning the starting roles.
Things worked out pretty well for Miami, as Zach Sieler cemented his growing reputation as the NFL's most underrated player and Campbell continued to be an ageless Goliath in his 17th season. Even though Jones wasn't the most effective nose tackle, the Dolphins were pretty strong in the run.
But now the Dolphins once again have Sieler and not much else on the defensive line.
In an ideal world, Miami would get Campbell back, but that's not a sure thing since the lineman will turn 39 before the start of the 2025 regular season. Even if he makes it, Sieler could use some long-term collaborators at the top.
