The Miami Dolphins had an active 2025 NFL Draft. While the Dolphins didn't make any major splashes during the draft, they did add eight rookies to their team. Early on Friday morning, the Dolphins announced seven of those draft picks.
In a post on Twitter/X from the Dolphins, they announced that seven rookies have signed their rookie deals with the Dolphins. First-round pick, Michigan defensive tackle Kenneth Grant, signed with Miami, which will keep him locked up in South Beach for the next four years, with a fifth-year option at the end of his deal.
We have signed seven draft picks:

DT Kenneth Grant
DT Jordan Phillips
CB Jason Marshall Jr.
S Dante Trader Jr.
RB Ollie Gordon II
QB Quinn Ewers
DT Zeek Biggers
The other six rookies who signed their rookie contracts are Maryland defensive tackle Jordan Phillips, Florida cornerback Jason Marshall Jr., Maryland safety Dante Trader Jr., Oklahoma State running back Ollie Gordon II, Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers, and Georgia Tech defensive tackle Zeek Biggers.
Only one rookie from the 2025 draft class is still unsigned, and it's Arizona offensive guard Jonah Savaiinaea. The Dolphins moved up with the Las Vegas Raiders to acquire Savaiinaea, sending picks 48, 98, and 135 in return for picks 37 and 143.
Miami added a lot of talent in the trenches during the draft, and especially along the interior of the defensive line. Three additions, one in the first, third, and seventh rounds, all went towards the interior defensive line.
Grant was the highest drafted one, going in the first round. He will be the most important pick of the draft class for Miami, and with his rookie deal signed, he's being paid like it.
Out of the Dolphins 2025 draft class, Grant's rookie deal will be for the most amount of money. The higher the draft pick, the more money the player gets. Grant will earn a solid pay-day right away, likely around $21 million over four years.
Now that they have signed their rookie contracts, along with almost the rest of the Dolphins' draft class, the Dolphins will have Grant, Phillips, Marshall Jr., Trader Jr., Gordon II, Ewers, and Biggers for the next four years.
