The Miami Dolphins will head into training camp at the end of July with a totally different roster than the one that ended the 2025 season after an offseason overhaul that saw the departure of several significant veterans and the arrival of newcomers young and old.The Dolphins have 91 players on their roster with the exemption they have for England-born rookie tight end Seydou Traore, a participant of the International Player Pathway Program.As life goes in the NFL, no every player on the roster is equal, so we decided to rank all of them in terms of their importance to the Dolphins' success in the 2026 season. The list was determined on the basis of not just ability but also expected role and significance to the overall progress of the organization as it continues the rebuilding project that began with the hiring of Jon-Eric Sullivan as GM and Jeff Hafley as head coach.This is part of a series that will run in the lead-up to start of training camp.NUMBER 18: CB JASON MARSHALL JR.How he joined the DolphinsThe Dolphins selected Marshall in the fifth round of the 2025 NFL draft with the 150th overall pick. Marshall was chosen with Miami's own pick in that round as the middle of three fifth-round selections between DT Jordan Phillips and S Dante Trader Jr.Contract statusMarshall is heading into the second year of his four-year, $4.5 million rookie contract that included a $425,000 signing bonus. He's under contract through the 2028 season.His 2025 seasonMarshall appeared in 12 games in his rookie season, which was interrupted by a stint on injured reserve because of a hamstring injury. Marshall, who lined up primarily in the slot, made his first NFL start in the Week 16 loss against the Cincinnati Bengals and recorded his first NFL interception the next week in the victory against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He had a 104.6 opponent passer rating when targeted, according to Pro Football Reference, with his best outings coming in Week 11 against the Washington Commanders (39.6) and in that Tampa Bay game (29.2).His projected roleFor the second consecutive year, the Dolphins will have new starters at outside cornerback after veterans Jack Jones and Rasul Douglas weren't re-signed as a free agents and landed with NFC teams (San Francisco and Washington, respectively). Rookie first-round pick Chris Johnson should be in the starting lineup somewhere, but he's expected to get a lot of snaps in the slot when the Dolphins use a five-DB look. There should be a free-for-all for the outside cornerback spots, and that's where new head coach Jeff Hafley has said Marshall will be playing in 2025. While JuJu Brents looks like the front-runner for one of the starting jobs, Marshall clearly is in the mix based on the potential he flashed last year. Regardless, Marshall should get his share of snaps at one point or another.THE PREVIOUS PLAYERS ON THE COUNTDOWN90. G James Ester89. T Kevin Cline88. QB Mark Gronowski87. DT Keith Cooper Jr.86.
