The Miami Dolphins are releasing veteran edge rusher Bradley Chubb, making him a free agent. Chubb, 29, started all 17 games in 2025 after recovering from a torn ACL that sidelined him in 2024, leading the team with 8.5 sacks and 20 quarterback hits. His release follows a contract restructuring that created a $31.2 million cap hit for 2026, freeing $7.3 million in cap space. Chubb, a two-time Pro Bowler drafted fifth overall in 2018, has 48 career sacks and 303 tackles in 90 games across his career with Denver and Miami. He is expected to draw interest from teams needing pass rush help, including the Titans, 49ers, Commanders, and Bears.
