The new brain trust in charge of the Miami Dolphins , general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan and head coach Jeff Hafley, have already made quite a bit of changes this offseason, and that's not stopping now.
According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the Dolphins are expected to release kicker Jason Sanders .

Sanders, 30, played collegiately at New Mexico from 2014-17 before Miami took him in the seventh round (No. 229 overall) of the 2018 NFL draft.
Over the first seven years of his career, Sanders made 84.6% of field goals (187-for-221) and 96.6% of his extra points (259-for-268). He was also named an All-Pro in 2020.
Sanders missed all of the 2025 season due to an injury, and the Dolphins replaced him with Riley Patterson , who is also slated to hit the market when the new league year starts.
By releasing Sanders, Miami saves $3.92 million in cap space while incurring $663,000 million in a dead cap hit.
