Overview
- Miami announced the release Monday, ending Eichenberg’s five-season stint after he missed all of 2025 on the physically unable to perform list with a chronic leg and knee issue.
- Yahoo Sports reported the transaction carried a failed-physical designation.
- Eichenberg becomes a free agent and, per Pro Football Rumors, intends to play in 2026 despite an expectedly limited market after a full season out.
- The 2021 second-round pick appeared in 60 games with 52 starts and is credited with starts at all five offensive line positions, most recently working on the interior.
- Because he was never activated in 2025, his one-year deal would have tolled to 2026, and Miami is now prioritizing interior line additions under GM Jon-Eric Sullivan and coach Jeff Hafley; the team also tendered ERFA cornerback Ethan Bonner.
