Miami Dolphins face a pivotal offseason as 30 unrestricted free agents and a changing coaching landscape raise urgent questions about the team's future. Will the Dolphins prioritize youth and draft capital under GM John Eric Sullivan’s Green Bay-inspired philosophy, or gamble on veterans like Rasul Douglas and Greg Dulcich? The shift to Jeff Hafley’s player development approach signals big changes in roster construction and scheme fit—can holdovers like Kader Kohou adapt, or is a new wave of talent imminent?
Kyle Crabbs spotlights which expiring contracts make sense to renew, names to watch for impactful returns, and those better left behind. The episode navigates Miami’s cap challenges, the search for an offensive coordinator, and the ramifications of Mike McDaniel accepting the Chargers OC role. Insights into upcoming Senior Bowl prospects and Miami’s draft priorities round out the analysis, inviting fans to consider: Is Miami poised for a strategic reset or an uncertain rebuild?
