The Miami Dolphins face a challenging offseason with significant gaps on their roster, especially at cornerback after trading Jalen Ramsey. General manager Chris Grier acknowledged the need for immediate improvements and indicated ongoing discussions with veteran free agents. With names like Rasul Douglas and Asante Samuel Jr. available, the Dolphins have options. Douglas, who played well for Buffalo, offers size and experience, while Samuel's recent injury history raises concerns despite his potential upside.

In addition to these veterans, the team hopes for contributions from 2023 draft pick Cam Smith and undrafted rookie Storm Duck. The Dolphins also signed Artie Burns for depth, but he’s not expected to start. Miami's lack of early draft picks meant that the first corner selected was in the fifth round, underscoring their tight roster situation. Coach Mike McDaniel pointed out the team's preparedness for multiple scenarios during the draft but ultimately had to prioritize other positions, limiting their cornerback options.
