Young TE for the future...Dolphins TE room needs attention for 2018

Here’s where the turnaround starts boys :thumbsup

 

[AL R]

The Dolphins have claimed TE AJ Derby off waivers and released WR Rashawn Scott, the team announced. http://www.espn.com/espn/now?nowId=21-0727648813975606450-4 …


So Scott released...

All is good with the world now...

I thought we were so high on Rashawn Scott. What happened?

A little surprised about that release also.

step in the right direction if Gase is coming to the conclusion that JT sucks.

 

[DefensiveEnd76]

Former QB at Arkansas before switching to TE. He's 6'4" 255. Derby was a 6th round pick of the Patriots in 2015.

 

[DefensiveEnd76]

If Scott clears waivers I would bet we re-sign him to the practice squad since we have 2 openings on the p-squad.

I Agree that the TE room will be re-worked like Armando stated - I thought they like Gray originally but I'm unsure at this point. That basically leaves almost no TE. I'm still on board with drafting a young TE, but our need list seems to be expanding...

Played in 15 total games in Denver over 2 years with only 4 starts but picked up 384 yard in those games. Certainly worth looking at as a number 2 TE, but can he block?

Gase is trying to be like Belicheck and get intel about the Broncos before the game.

Doesn't matter if he keeps his "gems" stuck behind his favorite players.

Not familiar with this guy. Can anybody with an opinion chime in here or are we just gonna get more snarky comments from the bird vomit crew?

He was relatively productive for a backup as a receiving threat. In 15 games he was about as productive as Thomas has been starting for us this year. I think it's fair to say his health is a question mark though.
