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 4: EDGE CHOP ROBINSONHow he joined the DolphinsThe Dolphins selected Robinson in the first round of the 2024 NFL draft. He was taken with the 21st overall selection.Contract statusRobinson is entering the third year of his fully guaranteed four-year rookie contract, which is worth $15 million and included a $7.7 million signing bonus. The Dolphins will have to decide next offseason whether to exercise the fifth-year option on the contract, which would keep Robinson in Miami through the 2028 season. If they decline the option, Robinson could become an unrestricted free agent in 2028.His 2025 seasonAfter finishing strong his rookie year, Robinson had a very disappointing second NFL season, finishing with only four sacks and seven quarterback hits (per PFR) in 15 games. Robinson made three starts after the Dolphins traded Jaelan Phillips to the Philadelphia Eagles at the trade deadline. Pro Football Focus gave him a season grade of 54.8, ranking him 100 out of 117 edge defenders with enough snaps to qualify.His projected roleThe Dolphins will look different under new head coach Jeff Hafley with more frequent four-lineman looks and more usage of the Wide-9 (edge defender who lines up farther outside than normal). The Dolphins are hoping this is where Robinson can make full use of his skill set and make an impact, more so as a pass rusher but also become more dependable against the run by focusing on setting the edge. There's no reason that Robinson shouldn't start now that Phillips and Bradley Chubb are gone, and his level of effectiveness in 2026 very well could determine his future in Miami, starting with whether the team will exercise the fifth-year option on his contract — and right now that probably would be a no.THE PREVIOUS PLAYERS ON THE COUNTDOWN90.
