What happened: Miami moved on from Jaylen Waddle and Jaelan Phillips while reshaping the roster. Minkah Fitzpatrick and Quinn Ewers also departed as Miami turned toward younger options.

Why it matters: The decisions reset the receiver room, the secondary and the edge rotation around new faces. Keeping veteran presence versus clearing room shaped how the young roster developed. How those groups hold up will define the next phase of the build.

What to watch: Miami approaches another deadline with further roster decisions ahead.
