The Brian Flores era already has a different feel to it. The Miami Dolphins already have the swagger of a very new team, and that’s high praise considering previous regimes.
The free-agency moves, so far, have lacked the gaudy contracts and showboating, splash signings of years past. Instead of winning the off-season, it appears that Brian Flores and Chris Grier have taken a step back and are making more calculated moves to win more meaningful battles in the Miami Dolphins’ “non-tank“.
The Dwayne Allen and Clive Walford deals weren’t over-the-top signings, nor will they likely have huge impacts on the team in 2019 or beyond with Mike Gesicki and Durham Smythe leading the attack.
