After months spent studying and acquiring players, the next four months will be used to trim rosters and make a few last-minute moves in preparation for the opening day.
Of course, one of the biggest moves the Miami Dolphins made in the last 10 years came when the team traded away Laremy Tunsil just days before the 2019 season. With that in mind, it is hard to imagine general manager Chris Grier making any ground-shaking moves between May and early September.
Starting jobs and roster spots are officially up for grabs and here are three questions surrounding Miami’s roster that will be answered before Week 1 of the 2021 NFL season.

2021 Offseason Outlook: Interior Offensive Line By George Forder @GeorgeForder3 on Jan 25, 2021, 7:34pm EST +
It would be hard to imagine Miami fielding a poor defense in 2021. At worst, they ll regress closer to an average squad. That means there will be a lot of pressure on the offense to take a step forward in order for them to earn a playoff birth. The offense had struggles in 2020 with Chan Gailey as the offensive coordinator and play caller. I m not in the camp that blames all the shortcomings on Chan (as there are still massive holes on this offense), but obviously it wasn t a fit. We don t know exactly what the offense will look like in 2021, but we can take a look at each position group and see where improvements need to be made and where we can feel optimistic.

Just like that, the 2020 home schedule is complete. The Dolphins finish off the season with a 5-3 mark at Hard Rock Stadium and a chance to get to double-digit wins with a pair of road games to close the season.
