Many here on finheaven have been distraught about the lack of signings on the offensive side of the ball. Cam and Mueller have already stated that an injection of youth and speed is needed on this team, especially on the offensive side of the ball. I think we can all agree that this year, average FA’s are getting monster contracts. More so than any prior year. I’ve heard of people lobbying for FA’s such as Jamal Lewis. Please look at his production over the past 2 years, and you will see it’s not a wise choice. Lewis is only an example of how cap money is being spent like mad. Unfortunately the dolphins are under the cap, but not to the degree of other teams who can spend on mediocrity.
The front office’s approach of patience has paid dividends overall. We are still under the cap. Significantly more than when we started. After all is said and done, we acquired a legit replacement for Donnie Spragan in Joey Porter, who with no doubt will create chances for our offense to be on the field more. (Makes sense)
I know there is going to be a lot of keyboard rattling if we pick up Trent Green. I for one am not a huge fan of bringing in a 37 year old QB into the mix, however, if Daunte is unable to play (we have to open up to that possibility, rather than bet it all on his rehab)
I would be more comfortable with a veteran presence. Even if we draft Quinn in the first, he should not be thrown into the fire day one unless he works miracles during preseason. If we did that, you could officially call the season expendable. Cam and Mueller have already said its not. Here are some stats on Green for your viewing pleasure.

Not too bad for a team that ran the ball over 400 times with no name receivers.
In conclusion, I believe the offense is coming, and it will be a fast, young and well coached offense. You can expect a better offense than we had last year…I promise.
We are even coming out of FA into the draft with 3 and possibly 4 additional draft picks. ESPN have already named us in the Top 3 performers in the off season. I definitely agree. We have accomplished many positive things without breaking our backs financially. The injection of youth is coming in the draft. I’m willing to bet we spend about 75% of our picks on the offensive side of the ball. So let’s be patient and watch the magic happen. Signing expensive and older players is a lesson I hope we learned during the Saban era. We should have learned because we are still paying for it.
Go Phins!!!!
