New GM. New head coach. New quarterback.
Oh, the Miami Dolphins are also eating nearly $200 million in dead money.
This is an organization long overdue for such a complete reset. Jon-Eric Sullivan, Jeff Hafley and Malik Willis all travel from frigid Wisconsin to South Florida in an attempt to build something special from scratch.
I spent time in Florida on our most recent reporting trip for features you’ll see as training camps close in. Enjoyed two very compelling conversations.
In the meantime, I thought it’d be a good time to catch up Kyle Crabbs of Touchdown, Miami! here on Substack for a podcast episode. Kyle does an excellent job analyzing everything Dolphins. We look back at where things went wrong for Mike McDaniel and Tua Tagovailoa after rocketing to 10,000 feet in Year 1 and why it’s smart for this team to cleanse the locker room.
Out is Tyreek Hill, Jalen Ramsey and other highly compensated vets who weren’t particularly the best leaders. Out is Tua.
In are players, in theory, who are the polar opposite on and off the field.
For too long, this roster’s been a mere collection of talent.
Maybe now the Dolphins can build a true team.
