Photo by Megan Briggs/ It’s hard for some Miami Dolphins fans to believe but much of the national media has been talking about the team this offseason in a positive way. Last season was a bit of both with the media praising the Dolphins for their play on the field and then criticizing the organization for things that were out of their control for the most part. Either way, here we are preparing for the 2023 season and the media has recently had mostly positive things to say about the team. Some of the media seem to love the direction the team is headed, and the...

Photo by Kevin Sabitus/ To most Miami Dolphins fans last season was a success despite a one-and-done in the playoffs. After a winning season that saw more ups and downs than I care to recount the Dolphins made it into the playoffs for the first time in six long years. And yes, we lost our only playoff game in the wildcard round but it was also a game that no one believed that Miami could hold their own in, with some even expecting a blowout. Going to a bitter rival's stadium, in the dead of winter, at one of the coldest places to play in the NFL, while starting your...

Jasen Vinlove-USA TODAY Sports Kader Kohou started 13 games for the Miami Dolphins in his rookie season. The Miami Dolphins expected Byron Jones, Nik Needham, and Trill Williams to help fill out the team’s secondary in 2022 — things didn’t entirely go according to plan.

Trent Sherfield thought he would re-sign with Miami Dolphins this offseason — instead, he is joining the Buffalo Bills. ESPN’s Adam Schefter tweeted on Monday afternoon that Sherfield was signing with the Bills on a one-year deal.

Gary A. Vasquez-USA TODAY Sports Should the Miami Dolphins really invest in another quarterback? The Miami Dolphins entered the new league year with roughly half the roster hitting free agency but general manager Chris Grier and the team’s front office wasted little time rebuilding the team. The Dolphins made roughly 20 roster moves since trading a third-round pick and tight end Hunter Long to the Los Angeles Rams for Jalen Ramsey on March 12. According to Over The Cap, Miami has roughly $6 million in cap space. The Dolphins will free up $13.6 million when the...

Photo by Cooper Neill/ After a week of free agency, the Miami Dolphins have shaken up their 2023 roster. How does the depth chart look as of March 20? Somehow, the first week of the NFL 2023 free agency period has passed, starting with the soft-opening “legal tampering” period and continuing into the current signing period. Throughout the past seven days, the Miami Dolphins have been busy, signing players, making a trade, and re-signing/re-structuring contracts for their own players. As the negotiating period opened last week, we reset our thoughts on the the...

Photo by Megan Briggs/ If he was leaving the Los Angeles Rams, Ramsey only wanted to play for Miami. In an interesting piece for Sports Illustrated from Albert Breer released earlier this morning, Breer recounts how the trade between the Miami Dolphins and Los Angeles Rams for All-Pro cornerback Jalen Ramsey was conceived and then consummated. According to Breer, it was Rams’ head coach Sean McVay who approached Ramsey in January with the idea that they would try to trade the 28 year-old this offseason due to cap space concerns as well as lack of draft picks for the...

Photo by Kevin Sabitus/ This past week I asked the question, who was the most underrated player signed by the Miami Dolphins thus far? I followed it up the next night with the question, who was the most overrated player signed by the Dolphins thus far? Below are some of the comments by our own faithful reader and their take on some of the signings up until that point. Miami235 seems to have mixed feelings about the Dolphins deciding to return the same group of runningbacks from last season. Bringing back the entire RB corps may not be the right answer, for many...

Photo by Mark Brown/ The Laremy Tunsil trade in 2019 is still paying dividends in 2023 and beyond. The Houston Texans and Pro Bowl left tackle Laremy Tunsil reached an agreement on a three-year contract extension on Sunday. The deal adds an additional $75 million to Tunsil’s contract value, with $50 million of it guaranteed, and, after being made the highest-paid tackle in the game in 2020, moves him back to the top in 2023. Why is a Miami Dolphins team site covering the re-signing of an offensive lineman for the Texans? Because every time Tunsil makes news, it is...
