Having a talented set of edge rushers is vitally important in today’s pass-happy NFL. Edge rusher Bradley Chubb: Chubb (11.0 sacks) is recovering from a season-ending knee injury, and we can basically repeat the same analysis about Phillips. Aas we’ve seen the past two seasons, the road-challenged Dolphins need at least one home playoff game, and the key to that is a strong regular season, and one critical factor to that is a strong pass rush, and Phillips undoubtedly is a key component to a strong pass rush.ħ. Edge rusher Jaelan Phillips: Phillips (6.5 sacks) is recovering from a season-ending Achilles injury and there’s a huge rush (pun intended) to get him back to 100%. He’ll be costly, perhaps $8 million a year, and you likely can’t afford Williams and Hunt (likely $8-10 million a year), so in this case you keep the more important player over the better player, which means you keep the center and keep your offensive line backbone of left tackle-center-right tackle intact.Ĩ. Center Connor Williams: Williams, a converted left guard, was developing into a top-tier center before a knee injury ended his 2023 season. Sanders had the game-winning 50-yard field goal with 18 seconds left against the New York Jets in 2022, and the five-field goal performance in a 22-20 victory against Dallas in 2023, including the game-winning 29-yard field goal as time expired.ĩ. He’s kicked them into the playoffs both years under McDaniel.
