Miami Dolphins depth chart after day one of NFL Free Agency negotiating period

The Miami Dolphins opened the NFL free agency’s negotiating period, or “legal tampering” period, with a series of moves to jump start the franchise’s rebuild. The Dolphins have addressed areas of needs with their opening moves of the 2020 league year, and they are continuing to position themselves to turn around a team that, at the start of the 2019 season, was being discussed as possibly the worst team to ever play in the league - of course, that “worst team ever” would finish 5-11 and with the fifth-overall draft pick, so they were no where near that bad.

On Monday, the Dolphins agreed to terms with edge rusher Kyle Van Noy from the New England Patriots, cornerback Byron Jones from the Dallas Cowboys, edge rusher Shaq Lawson from the Buffalo Bills, guard Ereck Flowers from the Washington Redskins, and defensive back/special teams player Clayton Fejedelem from the Cincinnati Bengals. It was a busy day that is continuing over to Tuesday, with reports the Dolphins have now added defensive end Emmanuel Ogbah from the Kansas City Chiefs.

What does all of this mean for the Dolphins’ depth chart? The depth chart below has removed players expected to become free agents with the start of the new league year.
