Miami Dolphins DVOA, Stats, & NFL Rankings

The Miami Dolphins and first-round defensive tackle Kenneth Grant agreed to a four-year rookie deal on Friday, a source tells ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. The Dolphins decided to beef up the interior of their defensive line with the 13th overall pick in this year's NFL draft by taking Grant out of Michigan. The 21-year-old is big and powerful at 6-foot-4, 330 pounds, but he's also extremely athletic and can succeed while being double-teamed. Grant can help bolster Miami's rush defense while also being disruptive in the backfield because of his quickness and athleticism. In his final season with the Wolverines in 2024, Grant had 32 tackles, three sacks and seven tackles for loss. He will certainly help fill the void on the interior of Miami's D-line after Christian Wilkins left last season.

The Miami Dolphins have officially signed former Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers to his four-year rookie contract, according to NFL insider Mike Garafolo. Ewers notably slid to the seventh round of the 2025 NFL Draft after some analysts projected him to be selected as early as the third or fourth round. After redshirting at Ohio State in 2021, Ewers threw for 9,128 yards, 68 touchdowns, and 24 interceptions in 36 games over three seasons with the Longhorns. He led the program to two consecutive College Football Playoff semifinal appearances. Now in Miami, he'll have the opportunity to compete with former No. 2 overall pick Zach Wilson for the QB2 role behind Tua Tagovailoa. Given Tagovailoa's injury history as of late, one of his backups could be called into action during the 2025 campaign. Wilson should be viewed as the front-runner to win that job.

The Los Angeles Rams "are still involved in a potential trade" for Miami Dolphins cornerback Jalen Ramsey, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. In fact, Fowler explains that the Rams' interest in Ramsey is one reason why they didn't select a cornerback in last month's NFL Draft. The veteran defender has reportedly been available for several weeks, with Miami expected to trade or release him by the end of June. The Dolphins' decision to move on from Ramsey stems from his contract, which includes a $16.67 million cap hit this season. If Miami trades him before June 1, they would take on $25.2 million in dead money while saving $8.6 million against the cap. Trading him after June 1 would provide greater financial relief with $6.7 million in dead money and $9.9 million in savings. Fowler notes that prospective trade partners are worried about Ramsey's $24 million in guarantees, and the Dolphins have been hesitant to cover a portion of the bill. As a result, the impasse continues. However, Los Angeles is certainly interested, and we've seen other contenders like the Ravens linked to Ramsey, too. The 30-year-old is a seven-time Pro Bowler and three-time First-Team All-Pro. He has 24 career interceptions and won a Super Bowl with the Rams in 2022.
