Who would have guessed? I hope they pay Walker his weight in something when it comes to his insightful take on what the Dolphins are up to.

The Dolphins will cut ties with Mario Williams.
The former four-time Pro Bowler signed a two-year, $17 million contract in 2016 but was a bust in his first season in Miami, registering a career-low 1.5 sacks. The Dolphins can save $8.5 million in cap room by cutting the defensive end and likely will use that money to help other areas on both sides of the ball. -- James Walker

James Walker deserves to viciously burn the roof of his mouth on a hot pocket.
 
Is James Walker going to provide anything insightfully this off-season?

To be fair he has to cover multiple teams and caters to a non-Dolphins specific mainstream audience. We al here knew Mario was gone halfway through the season. To Joe Blow Falcon fan out there this prediction is probably news to him.

What multiple teams is he covering? He is assigned to the Miami Dolphins to the best of my knowledge. I will agree with you that part of his audience is non Dolphin specific fans but still his reporting seems somewhat lazy to me.
 
James Walker hot takes....

The Dolphins will play in a renovated stadium

Adam Gase will coach the team in 2017

The Dolphins look to draft football players

In Free Agency the Dolphins will look to get better
 
He's the worst. The expectations of his job must be to write one piece that takes 5 minutes with maybe a minute or 2 of research. It's embarrassing!

This isn't a surprise. Many reporters who are national and not local, when making making draft needs for Miami, say, "Miami's two best defensive ends Mario Williams and Cameron Wake are both getting up there in age, so look for them to go younger at DE." Others having us playing a 3-4 when we play 4-3. Miami just isn't a national covered team. You have to win super bowls to be national coverage if your not the Dallas Cowboys. One year of losing in the Wild Card round is not going to fix this. We have been irrelevant for the better part of the last 16-18 years. Most attention we have got nationally has been negative, bully gate, missing on Harbaugh, Saban leaving us high and dry, and the Wild Cat was 50/50. Gase has a huge culture to change.

Exactly. It's understandable that he is also writing information to Non-Dolphin fans, but there is a huge amount of other issues he could have tackled that would have informed us, as well as informed non-phin fans.

-How serious will Miami be in trying to re-sign Stills.
- Will they be releasing Koa Misi or Jelani Jenkins.
- What will be Miami prime target in FA (O-Guard, or LB).
-What are the plans for Albert.
-Will Miami be attempting to lock up Landry and/or Jones.
-Will Miami go early for a TE, or are they happy with Duarte to compliment Sims
-What are the plans for Dion Jordan.
-Will Tannehill be ready for camp, or will he miss some time.
-What are Miami's plans with Kiko.
- Is Miami happy with Howard, Maxwell, and Lippett as their primary corners.
-What might Matt Burke change in the defense if anything this coming year.

There are countless things he could have wrote about, that was less obvious, then Miami not keeping an expensive, aging, unmotivated DE that severely under-performed this past year on the roster.
