Dolphins GM Chris Grier breaks down what he's looking for in linebackers this offseason

Every NFL team has a set idea of the traits incoming players need to have to be productive, and in the case of the Miami Dolphins, there's no shortage of positions - particularly on defense - that need an infusion of talent if the team is to have any hope of repeating their 2016 success.

This means that Miami will have to evaluate their roster and decide which positions need the most work in the offseason. This will inevitably lead the front office to the fact that the linebacker position is in a severe state of disarray, with Jelani Jenkins being a disappointment as of late - on top of needing a new contract - and Koa Misi trying to recover from a potentially career-ending injury.
