Miami Dolphins Identified As AFC East Offseason Losers

Multiple analysts have identified the Miami Dolphins as the biggest losers of the AFC East offseason, primarily due to the departure of several key players, including left tackle Terron Armstead (retirement), safety Jevon Holland (free agency), and the potential trade of cornerback Jalen Ramsey. These losses have significantly weakened Miami's secondary and overall roster, making it unlikely they will close the competitive gap with the Buffalo Bills, who have dominated the division and retained their core talent. Bleacher Report's Moe Moton highlights that, despite the Dolphins' previous status as the Bills' top divisional threat, their offseason moves have failed to address critical needs. In contrast, the Bills have continued to build around quarterback Josh Allen, while the New England Patriots and New York Jets are undergoing their own rebuilds and could emerge as greater threats. The consensus is that Miami's offseason strategy has left them trailing behind their division rivals, putting pressure on the team to recover quickly or risk falling further in the standings.
