We all know the struggle Miami has had at the tight end position over the last few years. Ever since Charles Clay left, the Dolphins haven’t had a TE threat for Tannehill to throw to down the seams or in the red zone.
Julius Thomas was brought in to fix that problem. The Dolphins gave Jacksonville a seventh-round pick in exchange for Thomas, who is now signed with the Dolphins for the next two years.
Just bringing Thomas to the Dolphins generated a lot of hype around Miami. After all, the 6’4, 251 lb tight end did have his best two years in the league under Adam Gase, who was the offensive coordinator in Denver for the 2013 and 2014 seasons.
