It looks like the Miami Dolphins are attempting to at least keep some of their players rather than go into full rebuild mode. According to the Miami Herald's Armando Salguero, the Dolphins have offered a contract to right tackle Ja'Wuan James in hopes he will remain with the team long-term.
Now, the decision is entirely up to him.
Reportedly, the contract is worth less annually than the $9.3 million dollar option, and is structured in hopes of being fair to both sides. However, it is likely that - as a solid NFL right tackle - James would get more from another team if he were to hit the open market, so now it boils down to how much James wants to be with the team that drafted him 19th overall in the 2014 NFL draft.
