Thirteen Draft Picks Force Dolphins Roster Cuts

The Miami Dolphins recently announced several roster adjustments involving the release and waiving of multiple players. The organization parted ways with specialists like long snapper Taybor Pepper and punter Seth Vernon, alongside several defensive prospects such as Isaiah Johnson and K.C. Ossai. Some of these athletes, including Johnson and Jason Maitre, were let go specifically due to failed physical examinations. This transition occurred shortly after the 2026 NFL Draft, where the team significantly bolstered its depth by selecting thirteen new players. Additional team updates highlight recent free agent signings and a significant minority investment into the franchise's ownership group.
