(CBS Miami)- The Miami Dolphins were one of the league’s busiest teams this offseason. After a year in which they went 5-11 under first year head coach Brian Flores, general manager Chris Grier got to work using the team’s mountain of cap space and war chest of draft assets to upgrade the roster.
Eleven free agents were brought in including big names like cornerback Byron Jones, linebacker Kyle Van Noy, defensive ends Shaq Lawson and Emmanuel Ogbah, and running back Jordan Howard. Then there was the draft, where they got the quarterback it was presumed they wanted prior to the season (Tua Tagovailoa) and used the rest of their draft capital to build an offensive line to protect him.
