The retention of Cameron Wake would have been a sentimental move by the Miami Dolphins. A move that would be geared more to preserving a decade of history and appease a fan base. In reality Wake was one man on a defensive unit that has been horrible most of that decade.
One of the local members, Hal Habib of the Palm Beach Post, asked how the Dolphins wasted the best years of Wake’s career. They did it the same way they wasted most of Jason Taylor’s and Zach Thomas’ best years. They wasted it by not getting the right supporting cast and figuring out the offense.
