I’ve been putting together a Dolphins & NFL list populated with people who have made it over from X to BlueSky. In case anyone is interested.

Welcome to Miami, Mr. Westbrook-Ikhine
WR Nick Westbrook-Ikhine (27) - Tall, physical. Came from humble beginnings and will likely remain underpaid. Plus in the red zone, plus on 3rd downs, plus in the deep vertical game. Caught 32 balls this year and 9 of them were for TDs. That was with Mason Rudolph and Will Levis throwing the ball.

Welcome to Miami, Mr. Westbrook-Ikhine
Looks like we landed one of the bigger targets. My favorite of the OL targets. And that’s a big position of need for Miami this off season.
RG James Daniels (27) - Medium-risk swing for the fences. Tore his Achilles at beginning of 2024, but had been healthy in his career prior to that. In most systems, he has Pro Bowl potential. In Miami’s, he has All Pro potential. Signing him could turn out like Philly signing Evan Mathis in 2011.

Perennially injured Safety playing next to Brandon Jones. What could go wrong?

The Broncos are signing S Talanoa Hufanga, per source.
Denver adds help on the back end in the former of the ex-Niner, a 2022 All-Pro.

One of my guys. Underrated player.
The 49ers with a big addition: Jaguars TE Luke Farrell has agreed to terms with the 49ers on a 3-year contract worth up to $20.250M with $11M guaranteed.

Miami has to find ways to capitalize on an overheated OL market.
Having a vision for a position switch is one way to potentially take advantage of price dislocation. They did that with Connor Williams in 2022.
Getting in on older players is another way, like they did Calais Campbell.

Miami had one of their best FA off seasons in decades finding mid-level and low-level deals, e.g. Aaron Brewer, Jordyn Brooks, Jonnu Smith, Calais Campbell, Kendall Fuller.
Were they a bit lucky? I think so.
But it's clear they're going to attempt to repeat that.

NFL Salary Cap rose by an incredible 24% in just two years. And the amount of money being thrown around in free agency is pretty much where the rubber meets the road on those increases. The numbers look mad.

Ben Johnson had that herculean offensive line in Detroit, and between the Joe Thuney acquisition and the Drew Dalman signing it's pretty clear that's where his priorities are in Chicago.
Such an interesting juxtaposition with Miami's priorities under Mike McDaniel.

With the big price tags on some of these WRs, I'm curious how Darius Slayton's market plays out.

Mind you, I love the idea of adding Dre Greenlaw in Miami. But when you consider their rumored interest in him, the rumored interest in Joey Bosa per Dianna Russini, and some others not necessarily public, I don't think they've learned anything about managing injury risks on their roster.

Good re-signing for the Cardinals. I would have been in on him if I were Miami.
Another important re-sign in Arizona: G Evan Brown is heading back to the Cardinals on a two-year deal worth $11.5M, per The Insiders.
Brown started all 17 games, a valuable part of their O-line.

Some OFFENSIVE and DEFENSIVE free agent ideas for the Miami Dolphins, as the NFL’s “legal tampering” period opens up in 2 hours.

Don’t sleep on Kader Kohou. Came from a college I didn’t even know played football, had to learn 3 NFL defenses in his first 3 seasons, but everyone expects that to go smoothly. All 3 coordinators (including Fangio) loved him, and by the end of 2024 he was playing fantastic ball.

I believe Miami's focus will probably be on 5 or 6 players, knowing one or more will available at 13:
DL Shemar Stewart
DT Walter Nolen
DT Kenneth Grant
S Malaki Starks
WR Tetairoa McMillan
Lots of reasons in favor of them, but even more reasons AGAINST some of the alternatives. Let's discuss.

I mention Miami's lack of run diversity. This is measurable. They rank 29th in % of runs between the tackles, and they rank 24th in absolute man-zone balance. Put them together and they rank 30th in run diversity. Which is probably why they're the most prone to getting hit with zero/lost yardage.

When the league zags, you've got to zig.
Heading into 2022 the book on the Dolphins was there's no deep passing game, even with Jaylen Waddle. Remember everyone said that trading for Tyreek Hill would be a total waste because Tua can't throw deep? So defenses didn't play a bunch of shell coverage.

Would be odd for Darrell Bevell to reunite with the Head Coach who fired him but a promotion is a promotion, so who knows. Guessing Chandler Henley would get promoted to QB Coach and I wonder if McDaniel would try and hire Bobby Slowik as a passing game coordinator.

Nice segment on @patmcafeeshow.bsky.social discussing some of the videos I’ve posted where Tua complains (in his own way) that by the time he gets done with all the motions and choreography in this offense he has no time left on the play clock to make adjustments.
