Last year this time, there was a great deal of speculation that the Miami Dolphins will have a major weakness in the running back position heading into the season.
The Miami Dolphins are always on a need for speed, so it wasn't shocking they walked out of the 2024 NFL Draft with Jaylen Wright. The former Tennessee Volunteer was one of the most athletic running backs in the class, boasting 4.38 speed and one of the best production profiles of any ball-carrier.
As we begin OTAs, the Miami Dolphins still have some roster building to do. In the next two weeks, Miami will clear roughly $18 million in cap space following the post-June 1st cut of Xavien Howard.

Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel made it known during a Tuesday news conference that he's staying out of contract talks between the organization and quarterback Tua Tagovailoa.
Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa added weight and trained in jiu-jitsu last offseason in an attempt to stay healthy. Tagovailoa has once again changed things up this spring as he looks to sign a long-term contract extension with the Dolphins.
The Las Vegas Raiders have one of the NFL’s best pass rushers in Maxx Crosby, but they could always use some more guys who can get to the quarterback. That’s why ESPN’s Bill Barnwell sees the Raiders as a good fit for free-agent defensive end Emmanuel Ogbah.
The Miami Dolphins made a big splash in free agency when they signed former Buffalo Bills safety Jordan Poyer. Buffalo had to shed some salaries, and the Dolphins were the beneficiary.
