Chubb, who joined the Dolphins in a trade and has produced 20 sacks, eight forced fumbles, and 117 tackles across two full seasons in Miami, will test the market as the 2024 league year begins. At 29 years old, he becomes a notable free-agent target for teams seeking proven pass-rush production.
The Dolphins’ decision to move on follows a broader organizational shift, with the club firing Mike McDaniel and promoting Hafley to lead the franchise’s next chapter. The new regime’s emphasis on youth and cost-management could accelerate multiple veterans’ departure plans beyond Chubb.
Chubb’s impact in Miami was significant, contributing as a disruptive edge presence and frequent playmaker. His impending free agency creates uncertainty about the Dolphins’ long-term edge-rushing strategy and compensation implications for a defense in transition.
This development is the latest in a busy offseason for Miami, with more roster changes anticipated as the team aligns with its rebuilding approach. Further details on Chubb’s free-agent negotiations and the Dolphins’ remaining cap and roster moves are expected to emerge as the league year progresses.
The story was reported by ClutchPoints, with confirmation from NFL insider Jordan Schultz. More updates will follow as the situation develops.
