Reports: Dolphins releasing edge rusher Bradley Chubb

  • On February 16, 2026, the Miami Dolphins intend to release Bradley Chubb, two-time Pro Bowl pass rusher, NFL insider Jordan Schultz reported.
  • With salary-cap pressure, the Dolphins' offseason rebuild led to the release of Bradley Chubb, who carried a $31.2 million cap hit, as reported.
  • A former Denver Bronco, Chubb missed 2024 with a torn ACL and returned in 2025 with 47 tackles, 8.5 sacks, and two forced fumbles, signing a five-year, $110 million extension shortly after.
  • By releasing Bradley Chubb, the Dolphins save $7.34 million in 2026 while absorbing $23.9 million in dead money, leaving a roster hole at outside linebacker.
  • Looking at cap mechanics, Miami could designate Chubb as a post-June 1 release, saving $20.2 million and pushing $12.9 million in dead cap into 2027, under new GM Jon-Eric Sullivan.
