The Miami Dolphins have successfully renegotiated a contract with edge rusher Bradley Chubb, who missed the entire 2024 season due to a torn ACL and subsequent complications in his knee. This adjustment alleviates concerns over his previous hefty cap hit of $28.6 million, allowing the Dolphins to retain him without facing significant financial penalties.

The new contract presents a chance for Chubb to earn performance-based incentives, which could restore his previous compensation levels. Chubb has been a formidable presence for Miami, recording 13.5 sacks in just 1.5 seasons since his acquisition from the Denver Broncos. As he returns from injury, he will rejoin a defensive lineup that also includes Jaelan Phillips, who is recovering from his own knee injuries.
