insane group

I’d try to sign Hunt. They have to pay Chubb soon.
 
All those guys except for Connor signed extensions. But you left off Aaron Jones from your list, he’s really really good and a FA. Packers have some depth at RB and may let him shake free
 
The only one i would consider signing, contingent on Tennessee not destroying him , is Derrick Henry. They don't make many 6'4 250 lb monsters.

The problem with Henry will be if he stays on his current pace he will carry the ball ~450 times this season. If they make a deep playoff run you can bet he's going to go over 500 for the season which is an absurd number. For reference, those two seasons that Wannstedt beat Ricky into the ground (02-03) his highest carry total was 392.
 
Get some fresh legs in the draft, leave those old timers alone.


 
I would rather see them draft a RB with one of their first 4 draft picks. There is a reason teams don’t sign their own free agent RB’s and it is because they realize that they can replace these players with a cheaper draft pick or an undrafted free agent. The Dolphins traded for one RB and signed another free agent RB during the last off-season and neither of them are now the starting RB. The Dolphins need to draft better and spend less in free agency IMO.
