A little more than two weeks before the NFL Trade Deadline, we break down every player on the Miami Dolphins roster with how and when they joined the team and their contract status (with a hat tip to overthecap.com).

Also included is each player's 2026 cap number because tha't something to consider when evaluating which players the Dolphins might be willing to trade (Bradley Chubb) or not trade (Jaylen Waddle).

The list includes players on injured reserve/PUP, but not those on the practice squad.
