I don't know how to post the article but it was from sports illustrated...25 free agents who could get richer...the article listed 25 top free agents and along with their opinion of the players' strengths...they listed the teams that could benefit from such a player...
Our Dolphins didn't even get mentioned as a team with the need for such a player...not even one free agent apparently wouldn't help our teams needs...smh
 
skimming thru it only looks like about 23/24 teams were mentioned....

so....yea, no biggie
 
Good, I dont want us to spend big. We have enough plauers that we have spent big on and a few more coming. Tannehill, Albert, SUH, Maxwell, Stills, Pouncey, Jones, Landry, probably Parker. That's a lot of guys getting high dollars for their position. Alonso. We need depth, returning starters healthy, more experience together, and another good draft with impact players. Unless there is a perfect fit and its not astronomical we should aim for depth in FA. Depth everywhere. Except maybe wr.
 
Some good CB's in free agency. Gilmore would be a fit in Miami. What isn't mentioned in that article is Tony Romo being a perfect fit for Buffalo.
 
Just goes to show you how ****ty these writers are! Apparently Miami is a perfect team and doesn't have a need especially on defense - according to this article

I quit reading Sports illustrated years ago because so often they try to do stuff like this and the writer just doesn't realize what a project he's taking on, or have a thorough enough knowledge of every team, and it ends up being fluff to kill time reading in February. Don't take that stuff too seriously.

...That is exactly the point...if you are going to list free agents, list their accomplishments and strengths and match them to teams needs...why cherry pick a handful of teams?...pretty lame

First, a mini-rant. I'll defend SI. The above bolded text is typical of every type reporting . . . government, business, politics, current events. It's an unfortunate description of our times. Rant off. As for the article, I don't expect the FO to spend big on any FA. Not saying they may not overspend a little for 1-2 players, but I don't expect any splashy signings. In the case of Miami, signing a quality OG/DE (example only) and/or resigning Stills/Jones/Landry makes the draft easier and it's hard to evaluate any signings without keeping the broad picture in focus. I agree, don't take this too seriously. All we have for now is conjecture.
 
Miami will have lots of money to spend if they wish, why not grab a player or two? Guys like Ingram or Cook could really have an impact on this team.
 
I saw the same article and thought the same exact thing. We weren't mentioned as a player for any of the top 25 FAs. Here's the deal. SI was a great magazine a very long time ago when we could only get sports news from a few different places. Now the choices are vast and SI looks like garbage by comparison, I haven't read it in a long time. The only place I'd pick it up was a Drs waiting room when my other choice was something like Women's Weekly.
 
Wow not a single one projected to MIA, not saying we gonna spend big. But, at least one of the 25 has to be a good fit. Anytime I see an article written by the National Media and/or not one of the good ones (i.e. Barry Jackson, or Darlington) I take it for with a grain of salt and assume its a retread and/or fluff.
