Here are 5 free agents that the Miami Dolphins can sign immediately.

It’s a franchise that is coming off a second consecutive playoff appearance, something the franchise hasn’t done since its five-year postseason run from 1997-2001 under head coaches Jimmy Johnson and then Dave Wannstedt. The Miami Dolphins’ 11 wins are the most by the club since the 2008 team finished 11-5 and won their AFC East title.

Head coach Mike McDaniel has led the team to the playoffs in each of his first two seasons, and progress is certainly being made. However, there are still too many negatives surrounding an organization that hasn’t won a playoff game since 2000. Only two other teams, the New England Patriots (2009-19) and Buffalo Bills (2020-23) have owned the top spot in the division since the ‘Fins last won it.

The beginning of the 2024 NFL fiscal year is on the horizon. General manager Chris Grier has been busy getting this team under the league’s $255.4 million salary cap. There have been numerous player cuts, but there has also been an addition of well-traveled tight end Jonnu Smith. He was a cap casualty of the Atlanta Falcons, meaning he could sign a deal right away.

The following five players have also gotten pink slips, meaning the Dolphins could add any of these veterans at any moment.
