52nd season in franchise history
The2017 season was theMiami Dolphins ' 48th season in theNational Football League (NFL), their 52nd overall, their second undergeneral manager Chris Grier and their second underhead coach Adam Gase . The team came off from a 10-6 record and a playoff appearance for the first time since 2008. They were seen as potential playoff contenders and looked to make consecutive playoff seasons for the first time since the2000 and2001 seasons . However, the team was affected by the loss of starting quarterbackRyan Tannehill , who tore his ACL during practice and was ruled out for the season. The team turned to former Bears quarterbackJay Cutler , who came out of retirement to become Tannehill's replacement and team's starter. After Tannehill got injured, coach Adam Gase called formerDenver Broncos quarterbackPeyton Manning about possibly coming out of retirement and taking Tannehill's place. However Manning later declined the idea of coming out of retirement. Gase was the QB coach and offensive coordinator of Peyton's Broncos between the2012 and2014 seasons.[ 1] 2012 . Later during the season, the team traded starting running backJay Ajayi to the eventual championPhiladelphia Eagles in exchange for a 2018 fourth round draft pick on October 31.
The team's Week 1 game against the Buccaneers was rescheduled to November 19 due toHurricane Irma . Week 11 was originally the two teams' bye week. Week 1 would become the bye week for both teams and they would not play until Week 2. This was first time since theArizona Cardinals in 2001 in which a team had a bye week in Week 1.
The Dolphins struggled during the season and failed to improve on the previous season's record after losing to the Patriots on Week 12 and were eliminated from the postseason after losing to the Chiefs in Week 16. They finished with a reverse record from the previous year, going 6–10. This was the Dolphins's fourteenth season missing the playoffs since the league's realignment in 2002.

Notes
The team traded their third- and fourth-round selections as well as their sixth-round selection in 2016 (186th ) to Minnesota in exchange for Minnesota's third-round selection in 2016 (86th ). If Miami receives a fourth-round compensatory selection, that pick will go to Minnesota. If they do not receive a compensatory selection, Minnesota will receive Miami's original fourth-round selection.[ 4] The Dolphins were awarded three compensatory picks by the NFL, one in the third round (97th ) and two in the fifth (178th and184th ).[ 5] Undrafted free agents [ edit ] 2017 Miami Dolphins staff Front office
