Dolphins Release Tyrel Dodson | Miami Dolphins News

Despite Dodson’s impressive 2025 season — including 5 sacks and 129 tackles — the team is confident in Rodriguez’s physical play and turnover ability, especially after he stripped the ball from teammates during camp.

Dodson, who had a strong 2024 season with 3 interceptions, will likely find a new home quickly. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
