Terron Armstead is setting his sights high for the upcoming 2024 NFL season, aiming to deliver his most outstanding performance yet with the Miami Dolphins. Speaking after Wednesday’s minicamp practice, the seasoned offensive tackle shared his ambitions for an All-Pro level season, expressing his enthusiasm for throwing his weight around on the field and making significant impacts during games.
Having deliberated over his future in the league earlier this year, Armstead, who will be stepping into his 12th NFL season and turning 33 in July, confirmed his decision to stick with the Dolphins after a period of reflection and conversations with his family. “This is where I am meant to be,” Armstead stated, emphasizing his commitment to the team and their collective goals.
In a move that signals Armstead’s dedication to the Dolphins, he renegotiated his contract, lowering his cap hit for the 2024 season by over $10 million and leaving him without guaranteed money beyond this year. This has sparked discussions about whether this season might mark the end of Armstead’s illustrious career, especially with the Dolphins drafting offensive tackle Patrick Paul in the second round of the 2024 NFL Draft as a potential future replacement.
When questioned about the potential finality of the upcoming season, Armstead remained focused on the present, emphasizing his commitment to each season as it comes. Despite his proven talent, evidenced by two Pro Bowl selections in as many years with Miami, Armstead has struggled with injuries that have kept him from playing a full season—a milestone he is yet to achieve.
In an effort to address his health and improve his game, Armstead has revamped his training regimen to include Pilates and yoga, aiming to boost his nutrition, mobility, flexibility, and strength. “I’m giving it everything I have,” Armstead declared, highlighting his dedication to not just meet but exceed the physical demands of the sport.
Looking forward to the 2024 season, Armstead is not only focused on personal achievements but is also keen on propelling the Dolphins’ offense to new heights. Reflecting on the previous season’s letdowns, he voiced his determination to seize available opportunities and leave no stone unturned in the quest for success.
As the new season approaches, Armstead’s resilience and ambition signal his readiness to lead the Dolphins both on and off the field, making him a vital component of their strategy for success.
