I think the goal of the offseason should be getting to NFL average on offense without losing talent on defense.

I think there's a long way to go to get there. Probably need two solid starters at tackle, another playmaker opposite Waddle and, for once, an above average running back.

Miami has a reported $74-80 million in salary cap, depending on the source, so I think that goal is doable.
 
The most important goal we should have is fixing that ****ing oline. No more ****ing excuses why it can't be done and no more excuses for the QBs that play here.

Everything else is dependent on that, even if we get a new OC and QB and RB.

Agree. Even the defense would be better. When you look at Miami's worst defensive games, they are almost always when the offense isn't getting it done.

I doubt there's much disagreement about the goals (plural) for this team. What I'd like to see is a thread allowing people to prioritize the goals/needs AND focus solely on players/positions. There are already too many threads on Grier/Flo
 
4 new and improved offensive linemen. The only player now on the offensive line I want to see starting in 2022 is Hunt. Also a new OL coach which is proven and not another OL coach in training.

A top tier RB who can be relied on to run 15-20 times a game and is effective as a pass receiver out of the backfield.

At least one top tier WR to play alongside Waddle and another WR who can be a reliable top 4 WR if Parker returns for the 2022 season

On defense a run stopping LB who can also cover the pass.

An experienced OC who has shown the ability to develop young QB’s.

Obviously it is going to be difficult to get all these players in one off season but they should upgrade these positions as much as possible this off season and use the 2023 offseason to fill whatever holes they weren’t able to this off season.

Your in for a long couple of months if your worried about this.

You need a vaca til the start of free agency. The rest of us will be re-hashing the same thing over and over again.

The good thing about the 2022 off season is that our needs couldn't be more obvious and certainly correctable, especially on offense.

That doesn't mean we should ignore the defense though. I am still in favor of using our first round pick on a defensive player if we can accomplish enough through FA and trades. I think a lot of people might be sleeping on the fact that we are going to trade for an OL or two. It's not just a matter of signing FA's to fix the OL. There are a handful of high paid OT's on bad teams. Austin Jackson will be traded, at 22 years old and 2 years of experience, he has more value than some people would believe, especially in exchange for an expensive veteran, for example Taylor Decker in Detroit.

I think the Saints are strong contenders to be our big trade partner. They need help getting under the cap, Ramcyzk is the highest paid RT in the league and they drafted centers in the 2nd and 1st round in back to back years. A $60M cap hole makes me wonder whats possible with them.

I'd also entertain the thought of re-acquiring Laremy Tunsil.

Agree And if we keep the current coaches any players we obtain won’t reach their potential in coaching as a priority in my view.

If Miami decides to pursue Watson or Wilson, the price probably starts with three #1 picks and probably Tua.

Plus, a good portion of that $74-80 cap room would go to their contract. Meaning addressing other needs becomes problematic.

But that's definitely an option.

But, but, watson or Wilson will significantly lessen the need for OL/WR/RB

That's really the big issue. Flores has to get another offensive line coach, even if he has to roll the dice again on lack of experience. Obviously, I hope for a proven veteran with a history of success but that could be a difficult find.

Hear me out on this. I think Flores should stick with the OC'S, maybe one of the two. I just don't think you can really fully evaluate these two with such weak play from the offensive line. I like the RPO, we saw some creativity. It's an offensive system that fits Tua, except for the lack of a running game.
