The Miami Dolphins are known for splurging on player contracts, having extended several stars like Tua Tagovailoa, Tyreek Hill, and Bradley Chubb recently. However, Bradley Chubb's current contract is now being called into question, with some analysts deeming it one of the NFL's worst deals as the 2025 season approaches. Initially signed for a staggering five-year, $110 million deal after his trade from the Denver Broncos, Chubb's contract was restructured in March 2023, where he agreed to take a pay cut. While this move has eased some concerns, it still raises questions regarding the value of a player with just 26 sacks and a single Pro Bowl selection in his career.

Critics highlight that the Dolphins potentially overvalued Chubb given his injury history and limited production, signaling a possible trend in their risk-heavy approach to contracts. With the Dolphins aiming for a deep playoff run, retaining performance-oriented contracts will be crucial to maximizing their roster's potential and managing salary cap space effectively moving forward.
