Nearly four years after acquiring him in a trade with the Denver Broncos, the Miami Dolphins are now releasing veteran pass rusher Bradley Chubb, according to multiple reports.
Denver traded Chubb (6-4, 268 pounds) and a fifth-round draft pick to Miami in exchange for a first-round selection, a fourth-round selection and running back Chase Edmonds midway through the 2022 NFL season. The following offseason, the Broncos traded that first-round pick to the New Orleans Saints in exchange for coach Sean Payton.
Chubb spent three and a half years with the Dolphins, but he missed the 2024 campaign with a torn ACL. He totaled 22 sacks, 54 quarterback hits and nine forced fumbles in 41 games in Miami. He’ll now become a free agent.
Denver selected Chubb with the fifth overall pick in the 2018 NFL draft out of NC State. Former general manager John Elway later admitted that passing on Wyoming quarterback Josh Allen at that pick was his worst mistake as a GM.
Chubb totaled 26 sacks, 58 quarterback hits and six forced fumbles in four and a half seasons (49 games) with the Broncos. The team has a crowded outside linebacker room, so a reunion with Chubb seems unlikely in 2026.
