As the Miami Dolphins navigate their offseason, the future of left tackle Terron Armstead remains uncertain. Coach Mike McDaniel stated that the team must prepare as if Armstead might not return in 2025. The organization is ready to move forward, having drafted Patrick Paul who is eager to take on the starting left tackle role. Armstead, a five-time Pro Bowler, is contemplating retirement after dealing with injuries. The Dolphins could face a $22.8 million cap hit should he return, prompting speculation about a possible pay cut.
