Dolphins’ Hiatus: Will Contract Talks Derail Team Dynamics?

Recently, the Dolphins completed their final offseason practice under the direction of head coach Mike McDaniel. Before the practice, McDaniel had hinted that there may be adjustments to the team’s schedule based on how things went. However, the team later announced that the last minicamp practice, which was scheduled for Thursday, had been canceled. In place of a full session, they opted for a walkthrough before going into their hiatus leading up to training camp.

During this break from on-field activities, it is important to keep an eye on a couple of noteworthy situations. For one, quarterback Tua Tagovailoa and wide receiver Tyreek Hill are both in pursuit of new contracts. Resolving these negotiations would allow both players to fully focus on their performance on the field once the team reconvenes.

If deals with the players are not reached by then, discussions about their future with the team may surface once the Dolphins regroup for training camp. The unresolved contract negotiations could potentially have an impact on team dynamics moving forward.
