I don’t think any of us wanted the Dolphins to act like the same old Dolphins of yesteryear and throw money at all the shiny, big-ticketed free agents that were out there. We’ve seen what happens for far too long when they, allegedly, win free agency. It mostly ended up in disappointment.
But we also didn’t want the Dolphins to treat this off-season as an opportunity to sit on their hands either. The Dolphins entered free agency around 8th in cap space and stayed pretty much the same after releasing Kyle Van Noy and trading Shaq Lawson for Benardrick McKinney.
