The Miami Dolphins are embracing change throughout the roster, and that doesn't exclude special teams. For the first time since 2018, kicker Jason Sanders won't be on the Miami roster in any capacity. Later that same day, however, they would bring back Patterson and make one thing abundantly clear: there would be a kicking competition in Miami. The Dolphins opted to fill Gonzalez's roster spot not with another kicker, but with defensive back Nick McCloud. His best season was his last one with the Dolphins, and Miami is banking on him to do it all over again.
