Zach Sieler says he wants to stay with Miami Dolphins
With the trade deadline three weeks away, the defensive lineman says his focus is winning in Miami.
Zach Sieler says he wants to stay with the Miami Dolphins as the NFL trade deadline approaches. The team was 0-5 coming out of its bye week, with the deadline three weeks away, according to the NFL.
Sieler said he had not given much thought to trade rumors and was focused on playing and winning in Miami. No trade involving him was reported as having been made.
Sieler emphasizes commitment to Miami
The 31-year-old defensive lineman said he wants to win with the Dolphins and expressed support for the direction of the team under coach Jeff Hafley and general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan. The NFL report attributes those remarks to Sieler’s comments in a team transcript.
Sieler was selected in the seventh round of the 2018 NFL Draft and is in his eighth season with Miami, the report said. He signed a contract extension in August 2025 that runs through 2029.
Trade possibility remains speculation
The NFL report noted that Miami could consider moving players as the deadline nears, but presented Sieler as a potential trade option rather than reporting a confirmed offer or deal. It said the Dolphins would have to weigh any return against his value to the team’s longer-term plans.
The report also said Sieler has a base salary of $12.66 million next year and that the contract has no guaranteed money at the back end. Those details could factor into another team’s interest, but no such interest was confirmed in the supplied report.
Hafley backs the team’s foundation
Hafley said he believes in the group and described its energy, connection and youth positively, while acknowledging Miami’s 0-5 start. His comments, as reported by the NFL, emphasized building a foundation and the team’s desire to win.
