- NFL. Deion Sanders Jr. gets emotional on behalf of Shedeur after Browns make controversial move
For the Miami Dolphins, it has been 41 years without being able to reach a Super Bowl after losing Super Bowl XIX to the San Francisco 49ers, and even worse, 52 years without winning a title on Super Sunday in the NFL, after defeating the Minnesota Vikings in Super Bowl VIII. It is strange that a franchise with so much prestige, cannot finally break that barrier that prevents it from being a protagonist again.
In the offseason, there are a number of mechanisms and actions aimed at teams strengthening themselves and looking with the best elements at hand to impose conditions in a fleeting campaign, in which there is almost no room for error, as they end up being very costly when the postseason arrives. In the Draft and with trades and gs, teams have to prospect very well to achieve their goal. Of course, the Miami Dolphins are no exception to this trend.
And in the midst of this moment of definitions and leaden steps, is coach Mike McDaniel, who has before him the possibility of making moves focused on completing the Dolphins' roster for the next campaign. For this reason, the publication Clutching Points has just made a couple of suggestions to the team's management in order to 'get their act together' and go for a couple of players in exchange, in order to shore up their offensive and defensive lines: a cornerback and a tight end. Who are they?
The players the Dolphins should go after
ClutchPoints suggests that the Dolphins should look to cornerback Greg Newsome to shore up their secondary, as the current Cleveland Browns player, who was highly touted after his rookie season, has not taken off with the team, although not for lack of talent. Newsome would fit perfectly in the Miami scheme, but there is one complication, his price tag, as with the fifth-year option guaranteed at $13.38 million in 2025, the Dolphins have to seriously consider investing in a player who has not shown all that is expected of him.
The publication also talks about BYU graduate tight end who now plays for the New Orleans Saints, Taysom Hill, a multi-functional player who has been a QB, fullback, running back, receiver, but at this point in his career has settled in as a tight end. Although his age is not something that excites anyone, as he is 34 years old, Hill could become available for a restructuring with the Saints and be an ideal candidate to take the weight off Tua Tagovailoa in specific plays, alongside Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle and De'von Achane.
Although the problem of his high monetary perception stands in the way, the $10 million he currently earns could well be restructured "with a more incentive-laden deal that reduces the salary burden (...) this if the Saints are willing to take on part of the figure in exchange for a future third-day draft pick", says Clutching Points.
Will the Dolphins listen to these 'chess moves' suggested by the publication?
