The Miami Dolphins face a challenging offseason with over two dozen players headed for unrestricted free agency, but safety Jevon Holland emerges as a key figure. While defensive lineman Calais Campbell is also noteworthy, Holland’s youth, performance, and potential make him the most sought-after player. The question remains: how much will he command on the open market, and can the Dolphins retain him? General Manager Chris Grier’s recent comments suggest the team is open to discussions but won’t aggressively pursue an extension, possibly leading to Holland testing free agency.

To secure Holland, the Dolphins might consider the franchise or transition tag, which carries hefty cap implications. With the team already over the salary cap, it’s likely they will only keep him at a favorable price, mirroring past decisions regarding Christian Wilkins and Robert Hunt. Holland himself has expressed a willingness to explore opportunities, eyeing a significant deal similar to Jessie Bates III’s recent contract. His strong national reputation underscores that losing him could create a notable void in the Dolphins' secondary.
