The Miami Dolphins are resolutely reinforcing discipline within their squad as they gear up for a crucial season. With the memory of last year’s missed playoff berth still fresh, Mike McDaniel and the franchise are tackling key roster issues this offseason with urgency. The critical question remains: are they truly prepared, especially when faced with the possibility that some key players may be considering retirement?
Veteran Calais Campbell, who has a remarkable 17-season career in the NFL—including a stint with the Miami Dolphins—alongside Terron Armstead, who is on the brink of retirement after 11 seasons, poses a significant challenge. Both players are now weighing their futures, potentially leaving a substantial gap in Mike McDaniel’s roster. What’s the current climate in Florida’s locker room?
On Monday, Mike McDaniel addressed Armstead’s situation through FinsXtra on X, asserting, “It’s important for me to operate as though he is unavailable to us… he’s earned this opportunity to figure out what he wants to do with his life.” This statement underscores the need for the Dolphins to stay focused and proactive as they prepare for the coming season.
