Miami Dolphins: Roster spot competition on the offensive line

The Miami Dolphins have deep talent along the offensive line and while the starting group looks more set, the last spots are up from grabs.

Training camp is going to really separate this year’s roster especially along the offensive line where three players could be competing for the final roster spot on this year’s team. The question is, which three players will be the ones who fall into this mix for that final spot?

Traditionally the Dolphins tend to keep nine offensive linemen but this year, 10 isn’t unreasonable but the problem Miami faces each season is that they have other positional needs and that means the luxury of keeping another offensive lineman isn’t always an option.

Today, we are going to focus on three players that should be competing for that final 9th spot. We are going to give roster spots to Robert Hunt, Solomon Kindley, Matt Skura, Austin Jackson, Michael Dieter, Jesse Davis, D.J. Fluker, and Liam Eichenberg. I believe that Jermaine Eluemunor has a good shot of making the roster given his experience and I have him penciled in as number nine for the purpose of this article. If Miami keeps nine players, Eluemenor will fall into the competition with the three players on this list.

Those nine players should make the roster but I see Dieter and Davis as potential releases and if that happens, these three guys will be the competition for the final spot. If they are not released and the Dolphins opt to keep 10, these three should be competing for it.
