4) Miami Dolphins

The Miami Dolphins boast an exciting, young, and talented roster with a defensive-minded head coach, in Brian Flores, who has shown an ability to get the most out of his players. He might be the ideal coach to lift Ngakoue’s game to an even higher level.

Last season, the Dolphins narrowly missed out on a trip to the postseason, but the defense produced 41 sacks, the 10th most in the NFL.

It seems the Dolphins are looking to upgrade their pass rush, after releasing linebacker Kyle Van Noy just one year into a four-year contract, in a move that created $9.77 million in cap space while triggering a $4.1 million dead-money charge against the cap. Ahead of the new league year beginning, Miami now has roughly $27 million in cap space, plenty of spending flexibility to add Ngakoue to its front-seven.
