Eichenberg is hoping to land a starting job and stay in one spot as he enters a make-or-break year in Miami
The Miami Dolphins will need to find a starting right guard during training camp, and fourth-year offensive lineman Liam Eichenberg is among those candidates for the job.
Eichenberg is the latest in our series on players on the Dolphins’ roster heading into training camp. We look back at their 2023 season, how they joined the team, their contract status, and their outlook for 2024.Eichenberg entered 2023 as a reserve player, but was utilized plenty over the course of the season. He started 12 games, the first one being at center in Week 4. He started three more games at center in Weeks 6-8 while Connor Williams nursed an injury.
During the Week 14 game against the Titans, while back at the center spot, Williams suffered a season-ending knee injury, which put Eichenberg back in that spot to finish the season. Eichenberg also started at center in the playoff road loss against the Kansas City Chiefs. This season, Eichenberg will earn a base salary of $3.4 million while carrying a cap hit of $4.2 million and a dead cap value of $797,178. He is scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent next spring.Eichenberg likely will focus on trying to win the right guard position. While Brewer has experience playing guard, he seems to have been signed to play center. Williams reportedly will be ready for the season following rehabbing his injury, but he is a free agent.
