The Miami Dolphins Offseason

The Good: Trading out of #3 and trading back to #6

The Miami Dolphins were certainly going to trade out of the top 3 as quarterback needy teams in the draft were constantly phoning in calls to them about trading up and pulling the trigger with the 49ers for them to move all the way up to #3 and give the Dolphins #12 was a brilliant move by the Dolphins, but to then trade back up with the Eagles at #6 makes a great trade into easily the best move of the offseason. The Dolphins pick up extra picks and still stay with striking distance of one of the best non quarterback prospects in the draft.

The Bad: Signing Will Fuller V to a 1yr/10.6 Million

The Will Fuller V signing was not overly surprising as he's one of the better deep threats in the NFL but to sign him to a 1yr/10 million dollar deal with his injury history wasn't exactly ideal for the Miami Dolphins. Not to mention that he was suspended for 6 games in 2020 after putting up some good games earlier in the year so you have to wonder about his ability to stay on the field. It's a 1yr deal so it won't hurt the team if it fails but the large cap number prevented them from getting other talented players

The Ugly: Releasing Kyle Van Noy

The release of Kyle Van Noy was surprising as he produced up to the level most expected him to and only one year after signing his big deal with the Dolphins. And what made the move worse was his then resigning with his old team in the New England Patriots and now he will make the Dolphins eat their words. It's not a smart move to give up a player to division rival to snatch up, especially one that knows the your teams defense.
