Rookie minicamp is officially in the books for the Miami Dolphins, and now all eyes are on the next big milestone: organized team activities, set to kick off on May 18th. But before the pads come back on, there's a key business item to address—signing the 2026 draft class.

As of now, Miami is one of just three teams that hasn't inked a single rookie from their 13-player draft haul. Given the team's tight salary cap situation, that's not entirely surprising. While later-round selections could be signed sooner, the top picks may need to wait until after June 1st, when the Dolphins will gain an estimated $20 million in cap relief.

This year's draft class is massive, and it's already generating plenty of buzz. In fact, the Dolphins finally found a 2026 draft stat where they rank near the bottom—and it's all about the sheer number of picks. But with volume comes opportunity, and the big question is whether all 13 rookies can realistically make the final roster.

First-round pick Kadyn Proctor is already making headlines. He entered rookie minicamp with a clear plan, and early reports suggest his transition to the pro game is off to a strong start. Fans are also weighing in on their expectations for the entire class, with many excited about the potential impact.

Beyond the rookies, there's plenty of other Dolphins news to track. Will the team re-sign dynamic running back De'Von Achane this offseason? The numbers behind a potential new contract are starting to surface. And over at quarterback, Malik Willis has a one-season opportunity to prove he can be the long-term answer under center—Dolphins fans are already sounding off on what he needs to show to earn the starting role.

From draft signings to roster battles, it's shaping up to be a pivotal offseason in Miami. Stay tuned as the Splash Zone keeps you covered on every move.
