The AFC East is undergoing significant changes this offseason. The Buffalo Bills, who clinched the division title last season, have made the decision to part ways with several key veterans, including trading star receiver Stefon Diggs to the Houston Texans.
Meanwhile, the Miami Dolphins have experienced a turnover in their roster, losing guard Robert Hunt in free agency and releasing several veteran players.
The New England Patriots, after more than two decades of dominance under coach Bill Belichick, are embarking on a new era with first-year head coach Jerod Mayo.
On the other hand, the New York Jets have been active in the offseason, making big acquisitions such as Tyron Smith, Mike Williams, and Haason Reddick.
After stumbling towards the end of the previous season, allowing Buffalo to seize control of the division, the AFC East appears to be wide open entering the 2024 season.
Miami Dolphins offensive tackle Terron Armstead expressed the team’s focus on internal growth during an interview on NFL Network’s Total Access. Armstead emphasized that the Dolphins are concentrating on their own strengths and capabilities, rather than being concerned about the roster changes happening within the division or around the league.
Armstead highlighted the team’s confidence and belief in their abilities, stating, “We have enough to beat anybody at full strength.” Despite the disappointments of the past season, the Dolphins boast a talented roster with star players like Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle, and Tua Tagovailoa. However, injuries and inconsistent performances derailed their playoff aspirations in the previous campaign.
Armstead’s decision to return to Miami after contemplating retirement provides stability to an offensive line that is undergoing changes in key positions.
The veteran tackle explained that he took time to evaluate his future in the game, considering the physical, mental, and emotional toll it takes.
Armstead emphasized the importance of full commitment and investment in the sport, reaffirming his dedication to the Dolphins for the upcoming season.
