They started the year as AFC breakouts — but what about the upcoming offseason? Check out the complete list of Dolphins free agents for 2023.
The 2022 NFL season has been quite a ride, but the AFC East has proven to be an utterly unique sort of beast. The Buffalo Bills were preseason Super Bowl betting favorites and have suffered a few hiccups along the way, but the breakout of Tua Tagovailoa and the Miami Dolphins in Year 1 under Mike McDaniel was effervescent stuff — at least until the month of December rolled around and brought an irksome losing skid with it.
That doesn’t mean you can’t consider the 2022 season an encouraging step for the Fins; it simply means that the steps they take in the run up to the next NFL campaign will be particularly crucial to keep the fire burning.
That brings us to what the upcoming NFL offseason looks like for the South Beach boys. With that in mind, let’s explore the full rundown of 2023 Miami Dolphins free agents.
