The new era of Miami Dolphins football is set to begin soon, as the team has been set with their official offseason workouts, OTAs, and minicamp dates.
The Miami Dolphins' offseason has been nothing short of dramatic, as the team cut longtime starter Tua Tagovailoa, wide receiver Tyreek Hill, fired Mike McDaniel, and brought in new general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan.
Head coach Jeff Hafley and Sullivan arrived from the Green Bay Packers and have already made sweeping changes. Now, it will be up to the team to respond, and they will start that with the arrival of the official offseason workouts, OTAs, and mandatory minicamp.
Per an official release from the NFL, the Dolphins will start the voluntary workout program on April 7.
The team's voluntary minicamp will take place on April 21 to 23, followed by OTAs, which take place on May 18 to 19, May 21, May 26 to 27, May 29, June 8 to 9, and June 11.
After the voluntary minicamp takes place, the mandatory minicamp will run from June 2 to 4.
While the voluntary minicamp and workouts are just that, the Dolphins' new regime is likely hoping to see most players, new and old, attend those events. It is critical for every team to start things off on the right foot, and the Miami organization can do just that with players showing up and getting to work immediately.
Hafley will be a first-time head coach in the NFL, but he has previous experience at the collegiate level, serving as the head coach for Boston College from 2020 to 2023.
Hafley was the previous defensive coordinator for the Packers from 2024 to 2025 and now joins the Dolphins organization as part of the team's huge reset. Sullivan also came over from the Packers, where he served as vice president of player personnel, which he served in from 2022 to 2025.
Together, Hafley and Sullivan will be responsible not only for getting this Dolphins team in shape but also for ensuring the organization can shed its biggest issues, the biggest being the team's 25+ seasons without a playoff win.
Miami is a bit of a mystery currently, as the team released many high-profile performers to help the cap issues left from Chris Grier and the past regimes. With a ton of low-cost signings in the building, this team may or may not be highly competitive in 2026.
One way the Dolphins can get things going the right way is to see the majority of the roster showing up to offseason activities and workouts, even if they are voluntary.
