Day five of the 2022 NFL free agency period is here and there are a lot of moves still to be made. There are trades and signings happening all around the league as teams look to improve their roster, both through addition and subtraction. Who will be the next major signing or trade?

The Miami Dolphins seem to be systematically and deliberately moving throughout the free agency period this year. The team has re-signed many of their own defensive free agents while looking to upgrade some of their offensive weaknesses from last year. Their biggest remaining area is likely the tackle area, where the market seems to be on pause as Terron Armstead, the top available player, decides where he wants to play next year. Armstead seems to be waiting to see if quarterback Deshaun Watson is traded from the Houston Texans to the New Orleans Saints, in which case Armstead may choose to return to the Saints. Whenever that decision is made, expect the offensive line signings to speed up all around the league – and hopefully with the Dolphins.

We are keeping you up to date on all of the Dolphins’ moves throughout free agency right here. Everything we know, or think we know, is included below. The main articles are on the front page of the site, but you can catch up with anything you may have missed below.

The Dolphins made a move just before everything started, re-signing defensive end Emmanuel Ogbah to a four-year contract and keeping him off the open market. The move keeps Miami’s top pass rusher from the last two seasons back with the Dolphins and shores up their biggest remaining name from their expiring contracts.

The team also came to an agreement with former Arizona Cardinals running back Chase Edmonds shortly after the tampering period began. The Dolphins during the afternoon added wide receiver Cedrick Wilson from the Dallas Cowboys and quarterback Teddy Bridgewater from the Denver Broncos as well.

Tight end Mike Gesicki signed his franchise tag Monday afternoon.

As we work our way through an important part of the NFL calendar, we will keep you up to date on all the wheeling and dealing for the Miami Dolphins – and the other major news around the league. You can always find the latest on our front page, but if you miss something, you can always come back here to find all of our stories collected in one place.

Will free agency set up the Dolphins for a playoff run in 2022 after two straight winning seasons but no postseason appearances? Will it impact the team’s odds to win the Super Bowl? According to DraftKings Sportsbook, the Dolphins are currently 21st in terms of odds to win the Super Bowl, sitting at +5000 (bet $100 to win $5,000). For the AFC East, the Dolphins are third at +600. The Buffalo Bills are the favorites at -200, while the New England Patriots are second at +340 and the New York Jets are fourth at +2200. How will those odds change as free agency kicks off?
