Sieler made 47 tackles (29 solo), including 5.5 sacks, across 17 regular-season games in 2025. He also had one pass defensed and one fumble recovery.
EDGE Analysis
Sieler played two more games in 2025 than he did in 2024, but he nonetheless finished with just more than half the 10.0 sack total he had managed in each of Miami's prior seasons. The 30-year-old defensive tackle is under contract with the Dolphins through 2029, but the team will have a potential "out" in his contract after the 2026 campaign, making it potentially crucial for Sieler to bounce back to his usual production level next season.

Sieler registered four tackles (three solo), including 2.5 sacks, in Sunday's 34-10 Week 14 win over the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
Coming into Sunday, Sieler had just 1.0 sacks through 12 games. He didn't record any defensive stats in the first half against New York but then detonated for 2.5 sacks across the final two quarters. Sieler probably isn't going to reach double-digit sacks for a third straight season -- he's at just 3.5 through 13 games -- but for one game at least, he was a forceful part of the Dolphins' pass rush.

Sieler tallied three tackles (three solo) during Miami's loss to the Colts on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Sieler ended up having a solid performance in what was overall a poor showing for the team. The 30-year-old has racked up 10.0 sacks in each of the last two campaigns, and will look to record his first of the season during Miami's Week 2 matchup versus the Patriots.

Sieler played seven defensive snaps in Saturday's 14-6 preseason win over the Jaguars.
EDGE Analysis
Sieler suffered an undisclosed injury on Aug. 16, and the Dolphins gave a vague timeline for his potential return. He played with other defensive stars Saturday, including Minkah Fitzpatrick and Tyrel Dodson, which was enough to provide reassurance that he'll be on the field for a Week 1 matchup against the Colts. He should be among the best interior linemen for IDP purposes once again in 2025.

Sieler (undisclosed) is expected to be out "between days and weeks" but is likely to be ready for the start of the regular season, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's not clear what type of issue Sieler is dealing with, and the indication of an absence lasting "between days and weeks" is pretty vague, but the good news for the Dolphins is that he doesn't currently seem to be at risk of needing to sit out Week 1. According to head coach Mike McDaniel, Sieler likely would have been able to play in Saturday's exhibition game against Detroit had it been a regular-season contest, per C. Isaiah Smalls II of the Miami Herald. The veteran defensive tackle is slated to be a key part of Miami's pass rush again in 2025 after racking up 10.0 sacks in each of the past two regular seasons.

Sieler and the Dolphins agreed on a three-year, $67.75 million contract extension Sunday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Sieler will be well compensated moving forward after combining to post 118 total tackles (58 solo), including 20 sacks, over 32 regular-season games in the last two seasons. The defensive lineman will get $44 million guaranteed, which ranks as the fourth-highest on the Dolphins behind quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, and wide receivers Jaylen Waddle and Tyreek Hill.

Sieler made 55 tackles (28 solo), including 10.0 sacks, across 15 regular-season appearances with the Dolphins in 2024. He also had two passes defensed, including one interception, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery.
EDGE Analysis
Sieler has now logged back-to-back seasons with exactly 10.0 sacks, despite some concerns that the offseason departure of Christian Wilkins (foot) would impact his ability to efficiently rush the passer. The 29-year-old is one of Miami's few true defensive standouts, so although the team has a potential 'out' on a contract that has two years remaining, the Dolphins will be incentivized to figure out a way to keep Sieler in house.

Sieler recorded four tackles (three solo), including 1.0 sacks, in Sunday's 29-17 win against San Francisco.
EDGE Analysis
Sieler brought down Brock Purdy on the first play of the second quarter to extend his streak of games with at least one sack to three. Pushing that out further, the veteran pass rusher has recorded 6.5 sacks over his past six contests. Sieler needs 1.5 sacks over Miami's final two regular-season games to tie the career-high mark of 10.0 sacks he established last year.

Sieler made two tackles (one solo), including 1.5 sacks, during Miami's 20-12 loss to the Texans in Week 15.
EDGE Analysis
Sieler has now brought his sack total to 7.5 across 12 appearances this season, putting him within striking distance of the career-best 10.0 mark he notched in 2023. The veteran defensive end will have three more regular-season contests, beginning Sunday versus the 49ers, to boost his totals.

Sieler racked up four tackles (two solo) and 2.0 sacks during Sunday's 32-26 win over New York.
EDGE Analysis
Sieler has now brought his sack total to 6.0 through 11 games this season, with four of those sacks having come in his last four appearances. It will bode well for the Dolphins' fringe chances of making a playoff push if Sieler can keep up his momentum down the stretch, especially during Sunday's must-win road matchup against Houston.
