Since GM Chris Grier and HC Brian Flores took over the franchise, it’s been clear the Dolphins were willing to sacrifice 2019 for the sake of 2020 and beyond. After one week though it might be time to ponder a difficult question:
Is there such a thing as being ‘too bad’?
Over the 10-15 years, the Dolphins have lost out on free agents because players knew the franchise was dysfunctional and wouldn’t be winning. (Peyton Manning and Ryan Clark come to mind first.) Meanwhile, the free agents that Miami has gotten have come to Miami because the team has been willing to overpay for their services (think Suh, Mike Wallace, etc).
