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 6: C AARON BREWERHow he joined the DolphinsThe Dolphins signed Brewer as an unrestricted free agent from the Tennessee Titans during the 2024 offseason.Contract statusBrewer is entering the final year of his three-year contract he signed in 2024, with his new three-year extension kicking in next year. Brewer's extension is potentially worth $52.5 million and includes $30 million in new money guarantee, per Over The Cap. Brewer's cap number for 2026 is a very modest $5.6 million, though it jumps to $18.6 million in 2027. Brewer has no guaranteed salary in 2028 or 2029.His 2025 seasonIn his second year with Miami, Brewer earned second-team All-Pro honors and earned himself a finalist nod for the inaugural Protector of the Year award, given to the best offensive lineman in the league. Brewer earned the second-highest Pro Football Focus grade among centers with an 87.4, trailing only first-team All-Pro Creed Humphrey of the Kansas City Chiefs. Brewer earned the highest blocking for centers in terms of run blocking with a 91.5.His projected roleThere's no great secret here: Brewer will continue to be the anchor of the offensive line, setting the tone for the run game with his ability to deliver blocks at the second level. He's also a great mentor for the young players on the offensive line with his work ethic, which has helped him go from an undrafted free agent to an elite player. As we've mentioned many times, this countdown isn't about the best players on the team but rather their potential impact now and in the foreseeable future, and Brewer is about as impactful as a center can be.THE PREVIOUS PLAYERS ON THE COUNTDOWN90.
