Dolphins free agents 2015

The Miami Dolphins have a lot of decisions to make as the league closes in on the start of free agency next month. The league year officially changes at 4pm ET on March 10, which will mark the beginning of the signing period for free agents. Starting on March 7, the league will again open the "legal tampering" period, when teams can begin direct negotiations with agents of player in which they are interested, though a contract cannot be officially signed until the start of the signing period.

Between now and then, the Dolphins will be laying out their free agency strategy, as well as looking at their own free agents and desciding which, if any, they are going to re-sign prior to the start of the new league year.

Miami has 19 players who will be free to sign with other clubs if new contracts are not signed prior to March 10, or, in the case of restricted or exclusive rights free agents, qualifying tenders are not offered. The list of Dolphins (potential) free agents is:
