PFM ReporterMiami Dolphins: Contract Watch Adds Context to Roster Strength
The Miami Dolphins roster picture has a specific question attached to it. Miami also traded wide receiver Jaylen Waddle and released Tyreek Hill, stripping back an offense that was once built around speed and playmaking on the outside. That matters because the Miami Dolphins team-building picture is often decided by these second-level moves.
The Miami Dolphins' number gives the football story a sharper edge. With Malik Willis in place, the Miami Dolphins are No. 24 on the board with a 74.54 public PFM score after they slipped 2.77 points. The Miami Dolphins board is tilted toward the offense: 79.62 there, compared with 70.81 on the defense.
The clean football read is strength versus drag. The Miami Dolphins get their best argument from Roster Strength, but Coaching Direction is still the swing factor. It is a useful reminder that one Miami Dolphins strength can carry the read only so far. The Miami Dolphins rating is doing its job there: respect the strength, flag the weak spot.
PFM RatingsWhat the PFM Numbers Say
Miami is No. 24 in the latest PFM rankings with a score of 74.5. That lands the team in our In the Playoff Mix tier. Inside the AFC East, the Dolphins are No. 3. PFM sees a fairly even team on both sides of the ball: 78.0 on offense and 70.8 on defense. If you want to know what this team does best, start with Roster Strength at 79.7. That is the biggest reason for the Middle of the Pack archetype. Malik Willis gives Miami a workable answer at quarterback. The 78.5 QB Stability grade, No. 20 in PFM shows there is still room for more.
There is still a 14.1-point gap between the best and worst grades, so the roster is not as balanced as it needs to be. The coaching concern centers on Jeff Hafley and a 65.6 Coaching Direction grade.
