The main takeaway of the Miami Dolphins this offseason is they aren't tanking, but they are taking a long-term view to build a team that may be ready for contention closer to 2022 than 2019.
One key factor is that Dolphins owner Stephen Ross has always wanted to win now -- just as much as the Dolphins' fan base -- but he sees a need to take a different path.
Ross says he's all-in on this rebuilding plan, which means no more Band-Aid fixes. No more being OK with just being in the playoff hunt in December.
