The Miami Dolphins have addressed various needs during the 2024 offseason, bolstering their lineup with additions to support quarterback Tua Tagovailoa. They’ve secured tight end Jonnu Smith and wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr., while also acquiring running back Jaylen Wright through a draft trade-up. In terms of defensive depth, they’ve drafted Chop Robinson and Mohamed Kamara for the defensive end rotation, and further fortified their defense with linebacker Jordyn Brooks and corner Jordan Fuller.
Despite these improvements, the Dolphins face a notable deficiency in their offensive and defensive lines, particularly with the departures of Christian Wilkins and Robert Hunt. General Manager Chris Grier chose not to address these positions in the draft, instead opting to pursue cost-effective free agents later on.
Here are three potential signings that could address these gaps:
1. Calaias Campbell
A seasoned defensive tackle despite being 37 years old, could bring valuable experience and leadership to the Dolphins. Despite his age, he remains impactful, having recorded seven sacks in the previous season with the Atlanta Falcons. With his extensive career credentials and familiarity with the Dolphins’ defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver, Campbell could provide a solid rotational option for Miami.
2. Connor Williams
Though recovering from an ACL injury, offers versatility as a center or guard and had showcased Pro Bowl-level performance before his setback. His familiarity with the Dolphins’ offense and potential return mid-season could provide crucial support for Tagovailoa and the offense, especially considering Miami’s history of offensive line injuries.
3. Dalton Risner
Emerges as a promising option for the Dolphins, having demonstrated consistency and durability throughout his career. Despite remaining unsigned until September last year, Risner’s track record of not allowing sacks and minimal penalties could make him an ideal addition to bolster Miami’s offensive line.
