Which of those impending free agents will get signed is a different story all together. Every player will be slotted in the Dolphins off-season plans. There will be those that will be wanted, those that are needs, and those that are simply, “no’s”.
The Dolphins have players in three categories. Exclusive rights free agents are free agents that only the Dolphins can negotiate with unless released. Restricted free agents can negotiate with other teams but the team that owns their rights has the right to match the offer or possibly receive draft pick compensation. Of course unrestricted means that players can sign with any other team with no right of matching or compensation.
