Dolphins 2026 schedule released – The Splash Zone 5/16/26

The NFL released the 2026 schedule last night and we now know who and when the Miami Dolphins will be playing. Hopes aren’t high for the Dolphins this season and the schedule is pretty daunting on paper with zero primetime games. In week 1, the Dolphins will be taking on the Las Vegas Raiders in […]

Tua Tagovailoa will return to Miami for preseason contest against Dolphins

The full 2026 NFL schedule was released on Thursday night — including dates and times for all 17 regular season Miami Dolphins games.

The 2026 NFL schedule has been released, including the Miami Dolphins’ 17 games spread over the 18 weeks of the regular season.

Miami Dolphins Discussion: New Draftee’s Jersey Edition

It’s a special, if not depressing, pastime that many of us Miami Dolphins fans sadly share. We get a new player either via free agency, trade, or the draft. We then, out of excitement for what that player is going to “finally” bring to this team that has long been missing, go out and purchase […]

When Jon-Eric Sullivan became the new Miami Dolphins general manager, he made it clear that running back De’Von Achane was going to be one of their building blocks.

New general manager for the Miami Dolphins — Jon-Eric Sullivan — has been very clear this offseason about his intention to keep running back De’Von Achane in an aqua and orange uniform for the foreseeable future.

Miami Dolphins Discussion: Way Too Early 2027 NFL Draft Needs

We spend a lot of time discussing team needs around here, given that we are all long-suffering Miami Dolphins fans. While the new brain trust in South Florida has done a fairly solid job of filling holes in the team’s roster thus far this offseason, there are still some very obvious needs if they hope […]

2026 NFL schedule release: Dolphins among top teams in miles traveled

The NFL will set a record for most miles traveled by its teams in a season during the 2026 season, thanks in large part to nine international games on this year’s schedule.

Should the Dolphins consider Brendan Sorsby – The Splash Zone 5/13/26

The Miami Dolphins appear set at quarterback after signing Malik Wills this past free agency period. They also added rookie Mark Gronowski after the draft with Quinn Ewers and Cam Miller set to return. But an interesting development could see the Dolphins have a chance at a top prospect. Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Sorsby may […]

Miami Dolphins Discussion: Current Draft Pick Past Players Comparisons

I suspect it’s human nature. Anyone who comes along in any sport will eventually be compared to someone who has played it before. I don’t know if it’s fair to whoever the current player is, as they are often compared to past greats before playing a single down at the professional level. This would seem […]

Jonah Savaiinaea has opportunity to earn starting job at new spot

The Miami Dolphins selected offensive lineman Jonah Savaiinaea from Arizona with the 37th overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft with the idea that he would help solidify a unit that had struggled mightily to protect the team’s quarterbacks over the previous few seasons. Instead, the young player only added to those struggles while starting […]

Dolphins earn praise for undrafted signings – The Splash Zone 5/12/26

The Miami Dolphins had the largest draft class in the league, with a total of 13 selections. You can make an argument that all 13 of those rookies should make the team and have some role in some capacity. But the Dolphins also added some undrafted players who could be contributors. Edge rusher Mason Reiger […]

With rookie minicamp done, the next time we’ll see the players is during organized team activities which will begin on May 18th. The Miami Dolphins can also now focus on getting their draft class signed as they are one of three teams who has yet to sign anyone from their class yet. That really shouldn’t […]

Miami Dolphins Fans On Malik Willis’ One Season Opportunity

When Malik Willis was signed by our Miami Dolphins in this year’s free agency cycle, the fair assumption was/is that he is the starter for the team’s 2026-2027 season. There is also a widely held point of view among fans and the NFL media types that while the Dolphins hope that Willis will show out […]

The numbers behind a new contract for De’Von Achane

De’Von Achane wants a new contract. The Miami Dolphins want to re-sign De’Von Achane. So, what’s the hold-up? To answer that, we need to look at the bigger picture.
