MIAMI GARDENS — The Miami Dolphins had eight selections in this year’s NFL draft and they used five of them on defense, and three of those on nose tackles beginning with Michigan nose tackle/defensive tackle Kenneth Grant. There’s reason to question why the Dolphins didn’t draft a cornerback in the first three rounds but they did get defensive help early. Here’s a look at the Dolphins’ 2025 draft class:  DT/NT Kenneth Grant, Michigan, first round (No. 13) Grant (6 foot 4, 331 pounds) is a physical run-stopper who fills a need and will be expected to be a Day One starter. He’ll line up on...

Immediately as the NFL draft concluded Saturday evening, the Miami Dolphins got to work on agreements with undrafted rookies to add to the 90-man roster for the offseason. The Dolphins, after beefing up in the trenches during the draft, dipped heavily into the wide receiver class among 13 undrafted free agents they’re signing, according to a league source. They agreed to terms with Missouri’s Theo Wease Jr., Arkansas’ Andrew Armstrong, Baylor’s Monaray Baldwin and Northwestern’s AJ Henning. At other positions, according to a league source, the Dolphins added Missouri running back Nate...

MIAMI GARDENS — Kenneth Grant, the former Michigan run-stuffing nose tackle/defensive tackle who the Miami Dolphins made their first-round pick on Thursday, is tasked with a pressure-filled demand before his NFL career sees its first snap. Grant, to bluntly put things in perspective, is required to be a rock star on a veteran-laden team. Grant, an imposing figure at 6 foot 4, 331 pounds, must anchor the most important draft class in the three-year era of Dolphins general manager Chris Grier and coach Mike McDaniel. In fact, it’s not a stretch to think that Grant, depending on his rookie...

MIAMI GARDENS — The Miami Dolphins took defensive tackle/nose tackle Kenneth Grant with their first-round draft pick, the No. 13 selection of the 2025 NFL draft. Here are some things to know about Grant:  Kenneth Grant Pos./round: DT-NT/No. 13, 1st round (No. 13) School: Michigan Year: Junior Ht: 6-4  Wt: 331 Hometown: Gary, Ind. Comment: Grant is a wide body who plays the run effectively. He fills a need on the defensive front and should be a Day One starter and impactful player. … Last season he played in 12 games and finished with 32 tackles, 3.0 sacks and 6.5 tackles for loss to go...

Quick thoughts from South Florida Sun Sentinel staffers on the Miami Dolphins’ selection of Kenneth Grant at pick No. 13 in the first round of 2025 NFL draft on Thursday night: Chris Perkins, Dolphins Columnist I like the pick of defensive tackle/nose tackle Kenneth Grant (6 foot 4, 331 pounds) although I think he might be over-selected at No. 13. Still, he fills a need and he should be a good fit on the front. He’s a big-bodied run stuffer who should fit in well on the defensive front. David Furones, Dolphins Writer Once the two cornerbacks, Will Johnson and Jahdae Barron, were there, I...

It won’t be a reunion with his brother or a return to South Florida for Joey Bosa. The Miami Dolphins missed out on the five-time Pro Bowl edge rusher, but it wasn’t for him to go to the San Francisco 49ers, where Nick Bosa plays. He instead is heading to the rival Buffalo Bills in free agency on a one-year, $12.6 million deal after his release from the Los Angeles Chargers last week, according to multiple reports. Reporting from The Athletic late Monday night indicated Bosa’s free agency was between the Dolphins and 49ers, after the Dolphins were reported to be in the mix on Sunday...

If the Miami Dolphins were to sign a former New York Jets quarterback heading into free agency, the only discussed name was Aaron Rodgers. And it wasn’t discussed very loudly. Or convincingly. But Zach Wilson? Whose bingo card had him? If you’re looking for some pound-the-table opinion on why this is a good or dismal move, look elsewhere. This move isn’t even about Wilson just yet. It’s more about general manager Chris Grier and coach Mike McDaniel, together, two decision-makers making one decision they blew last offseason and can’t blow again. Say this for them, too: They’re not playing it...

A homecoming for Joey Bosa, the star veteran NFL pass rusher and Fort Lauderdale native, to the Miami Dolphins could be within the realm of possibility. Bosa, a local high school football product of St. Thomas Aquinas who turns 30 on July 11, was released by the Los Angeles Chargers last week after nine seasons with the franchise, immediately making him available to sign with another team ahead of Monday’s start to free agency. While widely speculated he could unite with his brother, Nick Bosa, with the San Francisco 49ers, a report from The Athletic on Sunday night said “he is expected to...

The Miami Dolphins, on Saturday, announced they placed the right-of-first-refusal tender on cornerback Kader Kohou. Kohou is set for restricted free agency this offseason, and tendering him essentially keeps it that way. The former undrafted cornerback out of Texas A&M-Commerce who has played three NFL seasons in Miami can sign an offer sheet with another team, but the Dolphins can then match said offer to retain Kohou on the 2025 roster. The value of the right-of-first-refusal tender in 2025 is $3,263,000. Kohou has now locked in at least that much pay next season with the Dolphins, as...

Just because the Miami Dolphins didn’t lose defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver to the New Orleans Saints’ head coaching job, it doesn’t mean they’re completely out of the woods from losing an assistant to the Saints. New Dolphins wide receivers coach Robert Prince, who took the job less than a month ago, is interviewing for New Orleans’ offensive coordinator vacancy, according to NFL Network. Prince, 59, came over to Miami after spending the past three seasons with the Cowboys’ leading wide receivers in Dallas. There, he spent the 2022 season under offensive coordinator Kellen Moore....
