After a couple of weeks away, Aaron and Josh are back together to open up the mailbag! DolphinsTalk Xtra subscribers had some great questions for the guys, including how to deal with a potential Achane hold-in, Achane of Jordyn Brooks trade value, Jon-Eric Sullivan's relationship with Chris Grier's scouts, NFL ticket prices for regular people, draft processes, Ty Simpson, Kenyon Sadiq, and more! J...

Today, Josh is joined by veteran NFL journalist and proprieter of the Between the Hashmarks Substack, Matt Lombardo, for a discussion about his recent article outlining three moves he believes the Dolphins should make during the 2026 offseason to kickstart their rebuild process. First, they set the table, reviewing the Dolphins' cap situation and how little wiggle room they have. Then they go thro...

With "legal tampering" set to begin in just one week, it's time to look ahead to what options the Dolphins will be looking at in free agency. It's unlikely that the Dolphins will be big spenders, as outgoing QB Tua Tagovailoa's monster cap hit is an anchor around the team's neck. But that doesn't mean the team is without options. Which players with big upside can they sign to "prove it" deals? Whi...

BREAKING NEWS: Just before going live, Ian Rapaport tweeted that the Dolphins had hired former #Titans GM Jon Robinson as their new Senior Personnel Executive. What does this mean? Mike joins Aaron and Josh to discuss before the main topic of the week, which is... After releasing four players last week, the Miami Dolphins still have a number of decisions to make regarding players who were on the r...

Jon-Eric Sullivan is COOKIN'. After a brief period of getting acclimated in South Florida, Sully has set to work aggressively cleaning up Chris Grier's mess. With the releases of Bradley Chubb, Tyreek Hill, James Daniels, and Nick Westbrook-Ikhene, the Dolphins have saved over $66M in cash and $56M in 2026 cap space. The moves were necessary and predictable and signal the beginning of the next org...

Super Bowl LX is in the books and the Seattle Seahawks are once again the NFL champions. With the big game in the books, the NFL offseason is now officially underway. The Miami Dolphins are at a pivotal moment with a new General Manager and Head Coach attempting to revitalize what has been one of the most mediocre franchises in the league. In the wake of the Super Bowl, Aaron and Josh are back to...

The Miami Dolphins' 2026 coaching staff is coming together. With Bobbly Slowik and Chris Tabor on board to coordinate the Dolphins' offense and special teams, respectively, the Dolphins are left only to hire a Defensive Coordinator to fill the biggest holes on Jeff Hafley's staff. With hiring news beginning to slow down, the focus is now shifting to the draft and beyond. With that in mind, Aaron a...

A new era of Miami Dolphins football began on Thursday as owner Stephen Ross officially introduced new General Manager Jon-Eric Sullivan and new Head Coach Jeff Hafley. For weary Dolphins fans, the press conference struck a positive tone, with Sullivan stressing his desire to build the team through the draft and only using free agency only for "difference makers" and even then, not until the team...

A special DolphinsTalk Xtra preview! This episode is an excerpt from a recent episode of SODS Xtra where Aaron and Josh reviewed the Dolphins' head coach search thus far. They then took a look back at 2025 season and gave out their year end awards including MVP, LVP, Moment of the Year and more! If you enjoy this show, we think you'll enjoy all the other content and perks you get by becoming a mem...

With Jon-Eric Sullivan now in place as the Miami Dolphins' new General Manager, the Dolphins find themselves front and center in the search for a new head coach alongside seven other NFL franchises. Aaron and Josh are back to discuss the Sullivan hiring and where the Dolphins stand in the landscape of NFL head coach vacancies. Then they go through their top five head coach candidates based on thei...

They actually did it! After dragging his feet a little bit, Stephen Ross finally decided to fire Mike McDaniel, stating that he feels the franchise is in need of COMPREHENSIVE CHANGE. At long last, that change is coming. Aaron and Josh react to this news, discuss potential head coach candidates (OH HI, JOHN HARBAUGH), and look at the Dolphins' final four GM candidates. All of this and more on a br...

**WARNING: PROFANITY** We're opening up the phone lines and the SUPERCHATS for this one! Black Monday has come and gone and all signs point to Mike McDaniel returning to Miami as the head coach of the Dolphins. The giveaweay? MCDANIEL HIMSELF DECLARING THAT HE WILL BE INVOLVED IN THE SEARCH FOR A NEW GM! The Miami Dolphins are an absolute joke of a franchise and this is yet more evidence that the...

After a long season or mostly disappointing results, the Miami Dolphins head to Foxborough to take on the New England Patriots in Week 18. With the Patriots still fighting for the #1 overall seed in the AFC playoffs, they figure to be going all out, while the Dolphins have only their pride and individual contract incentives to play for. On its face, it seems like a lopsided matchup. But the Dolphi...

The Miami Dolphins closed out the home portion of their 2025 season on Sunday with a 20-17 victory over the fading Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The win lifts the team to 7-9 with one game remaining before what has the potential to be a franchise-altering offseason. More important than the result itself on Sunday was HOW the team won: with numerous young players making significant contributions. De'Von Ac...

The Miami Dolphins made a heavily publicized change at quarterback in the aftermath of their Monday night loss to Pittsburgh. The result? Well, it was simply more of the Same Old Dolphins. While Quinn Ewers looked fine in the first half, the Dolphins delivered another of their signature "turd quarters," allowing the Bengals to put the game out of reach before the 4th quarter began. Once Miami was...

It finally happened – Tua Tagovailoa has been demoted to third string emergency quarterback and QUINN EWERS will become the Dolphins' 27th starting quarterback since Dan Marino retired. Aaron and Josh are back to discuss what this means for Tua, Mike McDaniel and the Miami Dolphins going forward. Then there's time for a quick look ahead to Sunday's game – the first time under Mike McDaniel that th...

Once again, the Dolphins had a chance to change the narrative and win a tough game on the road in the cold. Once again, they failed miserably. Josh reacts.

The Miami Dolphins' current four-game win streak has earned them the right to call their Monday night clash with the Steelers a "do-or-die narrative buster." The stakes are high for the team, as they fight to keep their fleeting playoff hopes alive, but they're arguably bigger for head coach Mike McDaniel, who has repeatedly failed to properly prepare his team for December road games against legit...

***WARNING: PROFANITY*** Raise your voices and sing the song – the Miami Dolphins absolutely crushed the NY Jets in Week 14 to improve to 6-7 and keep their fleeting playoff hopes alive. Mike McDaniel's reinvented Dolphins team (mostly) attacked the Jets on the ground, rushing for a season-high 239 yards on 41 attempts. De'Von Achane was lighting it up before leaving the game with a rib injury. Th...

It's time once again to sing the song. **WARNING: Profanity** The Miami Dolphins make the trek to New Jersey to take on a team that supposedly represents the great city of New York, but that is in actuality the little brother to the equally inept Giants. That's right – it's Jets week. While fortunes have turned around somewhat for the Dolphins (and to a lesser extent, the Jets), this is still a ma...

For the second consecutive game, the Miami Dolphins did just enough to win or, depending on how you look at it, saw their opponent do just enough to lose. Either way, Miami's 21-17 win over the New Orleans Saints extended their win streak to three games and saw the Dolphins improve to 5-7 on the season. While the odds of their making the playoffs remain minuscule at best, hope remains alive in the...

In honor of the greatest American holiday, we are very excited to present a special DolphinsTalk Xtra Preview: our 2024 Thanksgiving Food Draft!

With the bye week now behind them, the Miami Dolphins are back to work preparing for the final six games of the season. First up: the struggling New Orleans Saints. On its face, this looks like matchup that favors the Dolphins. The Saints' offense has been largely out of sorts all season, save for the work of WR1 Chris Olave. Tyler Shough took over at quarterback from Spencer Rattler and has been...

The Miami Dolphins have reached their bye week for the 2025 season sitting with a disappointing 4-7 record and having already parted ways with their GM. With six games left in the season, now is a good time to look at what the possible paths forward are for the Dolphins, both for the remainder of the 2025 season and beyond. Aaron and Josh are back with their thoughts on what those possibilities lo...
