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, not 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 11: TE GREG DULCICHHow he joined the DolphinsThe Dolphins signed Dulcich — nicknamed "Dulcich de Leche" — to their practice squad in August 2025 after he was released by the New York Giants and eventually signed him to the active roster in October.Contract statusThe Dolphins re-signed Dulcich this offseason to a one-year contract for $3.25 million that included a $1.8 million signing bonus spread out over five years. That kept his 2026 cap number at only $1.7 million. He will become an unrestricted free agent again next offseason without a new deal.His 2025 seasonDulcich ended up playing 10 games for the Dolphins and made three starts — against the Washington Commanders in Spain in Week 11, against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 16 and against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 17. His first appearance came in the Week 8 victory against the Atlanta Falcons. He finished with 26 catches for 335 yards (12.9 average) and one touchdown. His best outing came against Tampa Bay when he had five catches for 58 yards and his one touchdown.His projected roleAll of Dulcich's stats came in the second half of the season, which projects to about 50 catches over a full season. With Darren Waller and Julian Hill no longer around, Dulcich is the lone holdover from the 2025 tight end group and the contract the Dolphins gave him — when compared to the other contracts they gave out this offseason (though it still was only a one-year deal) — showed what they think of his potential. And there also was Jon-Eric Sullivan naming Dulcich when asked the one player he was looking forward to seeing make a big move in 2026. With all the uncertainty around the wide receiver corps, it would surprise no one if Dulcich became a favorite target for Malik Willis and he could become close to a full-time player if the coaching staff likes his blocking enough. At the very least, he should be a clear factor in the passing game.THE PREVIOUS PLAYERS ON THE COUNTDOWN90. G James Ester89. T Kevin Cline88. QB Mark Gronowski87. DT Keith Cooper Jr.86.
