Bradley Chubb has taken a significant step for the Miami Dolphins by restructuring his contract, reducing his base salary of $19.5 million to alleviate a cap hit of over $28 million. This move averted the possibility of his release this offseason, particularly as the team faces a tight cap situation. Chubb, a two-time Pro Bowl selection, expressed enthusiasm about the upcoming season, particularly about teaming up with fellow edge rushers Jaelan Phillips and rookie Chop Robinson. After struggling with injuries last season, his performance in 2023 included a noteworthy 11 sacks, underscoring his potential impact on the defense moving forward.

The Dolphins now have a solid lineup of eight edge defenders under contract for the 2025 season, which should bolster their defensive front significantly, allowing for greater flexibility in their game plans. The shared excitement between Chubb and his teammates suggests a promising synergy that could yield beneficial results on the field.
