There’s a fundamental rule of thumb out there that’s typically applied to the stock market and to real estate that says: “buy low and sell high”.
The Dolphins did almost the complete opposite when it came to linebacker Philip Wheeler.
Step into the “way back machine” and go back to the 2012 NFL season.
Wheeler was a member of the Oakland Raiders. He played the season on a 1-year deal and ended up having the best 16-game stretch of his career up to that point. Wheeler started every game and totaled 109 tackles, three sacks, and two forced fumbles.
