The 2026 Dolphin season will be tricky to predict with any degree of accuracy because of new management, coaches and players. The greatest challenge will be how the coaches and players are able to integrate and work together to achieve the goals outlined by the coaches.
Players who will have to produce, and who have the talent to do so, are the returning running back De’Von Achane, the introduction of the multi-talented quarterback Malik Willis, the acquisition of mammoth offensive lineman Kadyn Proctor, the team’s first pick in the recent draft, and the return of top-notch defensive talent in linebacker Jordyn Brooks.
Adding to the complexity of getting this dis-parate group of former and new warriors to compete effectively early in the season will be a schedule that begins with the likes of the Las Vegas Raiders, San Francisco 49ers and Kansas City Chiefs.
It should not take long before fans have a pretty accurate idea of how the team will perform for the remainder of the season.
It should be interesting starting September 13 against Fernando Mendoza, the local player who will probably be quarterbacking the Raiders. To make matters more difficult, the first two games of the season will be away games.
We wish the Dolphins great success in 2026!
