The Miami Dolphins are set to receive two compensatory picks in the 2025 NFL draft after a pair of their former players, Christian Wilkins and Robert Hunt, were two of hottest commodities on the free agency market earlier this year. According to Pro Football Focus, the Dolphins may once again be in line to lose a coveted player.
In a ranking of the top 50 players set to become free agents in March 2025, Dolphins safety Jevon Holland sits atop the list at No. 1.
“Holland ranked as one of the five highest-graded safeties in two of his first three seasons in the league,” PFF wrote in a post published Thursday. “Having earned a 60.9 PFF grade through five weeks in 2024, he’s currently on track for a career-low in that category, but there’s a long way to go this season, and his body of work previously speaks for itself.”
Holland, 24, was a second-round pick for the Dolphins in 2021 and has five interceptions, five forced fumbles, and four sacks in 50 career games played. He’s currently dealing with a potentially serious hand injury suffered in Miami’s Week 5 win.
“It should be about week-to-week,” Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel said of Holland. “A little ahead of schedule to kind of determine that, but it feels like it’ll be a week-to-week thing so we’ll see what that looks like in about a week.”
In May, Holland told reporters that contract talks with the Dolphins were “on the back burner” while the team worked on a deal with Tua Tagovailoa. Since his comments, Miami has agreed to new contracts with Tagovailoa, Jaylen Waddle, Tyreek Hill, and Jalen Ramsey.
