Bradley Chubb won’t return to the Miami Dolphins come 2026.
First reported by NFL insider Jordan Schultz, the franchise released the star edge rusher on Monday, bringing to end a three-year stint in Miami that saw Chubb suffer a gruesome knee injury only to return two seasons later and be one of the team’s most valued voices in the locker room.
The move represents the first big transaction during the tenure of the newly installed pairing of coach Jeff Hafley and general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan. This, however, was likely going to happen regardless of who was in power as Chubb had a $31-million cap hit for the 2026 season.
During his time in Miami, Chubb racked up 22 sacks, nine forced fumbles and 133 combined tackles.
