Griffin, primarily a special teamer, is also a backup at inside linebacker.

Westbrook-Ikhine caught 11 passes for 89 scoreless yards in his lone season with the Dolphins. The 28-year-old vet joined the team fresh off a 32-497-9 season with the Titans, but will now be free to sign with any team. Westbrook-Ikhine’s value as a field stretcher should be enough to find him a new home in 2026, but he’s unlikely to ever be a focal point of whatever offense he’s in.

Hill is one of several Dolphins players who have been informed of their release. The soon-to-be 32-year-old receiver saw his 2025 season come to an end in Week 4 when he suffered a dislocated knee and torn ACL against the Jets, but put together a respectable 21-265-1 line before going down. NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero notes “it’s unclear when or if” Hill will play next season, but if he does, Hill will be a free agent for the first time in his career. The eight-time Pro Bowler should have plenty of suitors once he can prove he’s fully recovered from his injury.

Daniels signed a three-year, $24 million contract with the Dolphins last offseason but appeared in just one game due to a pectoral injury. The eight-year vet has played in just five games over the last two seasons, but has 85 games of starting experience under his belt. If he can get healthy for 2026, Daniels could have some value as a low-cost addition for several teams on what will likely be a prove-it deal next season.

Chubb was acquired by the Dolphins at the 2022 trade deadline and signed him to a five-year extension the following offseason. The veteran pass-rusher started all 17 games in 2025 after missing the 2024 season due to a torn (ACL), racking up 47 tackles, 8.5 sacks, and eight TFLs in his return to the field. Chubb will be 30 at the start of next season and should still have plenty to offer any teams in need of help at getting after the quarterback. Chubb’s release will likely be designated as a post June 1 release, which will allow the team to split his dead cap hit over the next two seasons rather than take on an amount just north of $23.5 million this season. Chubb is now free to sign with any team.

Robinson followed new Giants head coach John Harbaugh from the Ravens to New York this offseason. ESPN’s Adam Schefter notes that the Giants support Robinson’s decision to take a new opportunity elsewhere despite recently filling an open role in Harbaugh’s new staff. Robinson coached the Ravens’ outside linebackers last season. He previously worked with new Raiders DC Rob Leonard in Baltimore in 2022.

Cleveland’s Mary Kay Cabot identified Texans defensive pass game coordinator Cory Undlin and Falcons defensive pass game coordinator Mike Rutenberg as the other two finalists earlier today. Tarver has been in his current role since 2020. Cabot believes new Browns head coach Todd Monken could hire the team’s new defensive coordinator by Monday or Tuesday.

Pelissero adds that Janocko is in Las Vegas right now and a deal “should get done as soon as today.” This hiring makes sense. Janocko is close with new Raiders head coach Klint Kubiak, having served as quarterbacks coach with the Vikings, Saints and Seahawks while Kubiak was simultaneously employed as each team’s offensive coordinator. Kubiak will continue calling plays offensively, though this is still a step up for Janocko.

This is a fun hire for the Seahawks. Fleury played quarterback in college and served as a defensive and special teams coach in the college ranks from 2003-2012. He did the same in the NFL from 2013-2015 with the Bills and Browns before transitioning to the operational side of things with the Dolphins, accepting a football research analyst position in 2016 before being promoted to director of football research in 2017. He made his way to the 49ers as a defensive quality control coach in 2019 before becoming their offensive quality control coach in 2020. He coached tight ends from 2022-2024 and added run game coordinator to his title last season. Despite winning Super Bowl LX, the Seahawks’ run game struggled at times last season. Fleury’s hiring bodes positively for the run game’s outlook in 2026. ESPN’s Brady Henderson previously reported that the Seahawks’ new offensive coordinator will call plays this season.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter notes that Janocko is also a candidate for the Seahawks’ offensive coordinator vacancy. Janocko and new Raiders head coach Klint Kubiak have worked together for years. Janocko served as the Vikings, Saints and Seahawks’ quarterbacks coach while Kubiak concurrently held each team’s offensive coordinator role. Schefter’s colleague, Jeremy Fowler, said last week that he believes Janocko is a “natural candidate” to be the Raiders’ offensive coordinator under Kubiak.

Fleury has an interesting background, having held diverse coaching and operational roles after playing quarterback in college. Fleury coached at Maryland, Sacred Heart and Towson from 2003-2012, serving as a graduate assistant, secondary coach, outside linebackers coach, defensive coordinator and special teams coordinator. He entered the NFL coaching ranks with the Bills in 2013, serving as a quality control coach. The Browns then employed him as an assistant linebackers coach (2014) and outside linebackers coach (2015), where he notably coached alongside 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan. Fleury signed on with the Dolphins as a football research analyst in 2016 before being promoted to director of football research in 2017. He became the 49ers’ defensive quality control coach in 2019 before switching to the offensive side of the ball in 2020. He has since served as the 49ers’ offensive quality control coach, tight ends coach and run game coordinator.
