Where does the Dolphins roster rank among average age in the NFL?
The Miami Dolphins have turned over their roster this year, but just how young did they get?
The Miami Dolphins made some big changes to their roster this offseason, as they look to build toward a future with a new general manager and head coach running things in South Lobby. One of the key points of Jon-Eric Sullivan's plan over the last few months was to get younger. They moved on from aging veterans like Tyreek Hill, Darren Waller and Minkah Fitzpatrick before bringing in 13 prospects in the 2026 NFL draft.
According to NFL analyst Ian Hartitz , the Dolphins currently have the youngest roster in the NFL with an average age of 25. 18 years old. Their offense is 24.
85 years old, and the defense is 25. 47 years old. The Kansas City Chiefs have the next youngest roster at 25.
40 years old while the Washington Commanders have the oldest roster in the league with an average age of 26. 79 years old. This is great for Miami's future, but it also points to inexperience that could be an issue and could hold them back from reaching their full potential in 2026.
