The Miami Dolphins restructured right tackle Austin Jackson's contract, creating $8.5 million in 2026 cap space. The new one-year deal is worth $7 million with $5.475 million guaranteed. Jackson, who has started 60 of 62 games for the Dolphins, is coming off a season hampered by a toe injury. He will play the 2026 season on a prove-it deal, aiming to impress the team's new leadership under general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan and head coach Jeff Hafley.
