Six best NFL offseasons of 2020: Dolphins, Cardinals in strong shape

I have been a Fin fan for over 45 years and I really cant think of a off season quite as good as this one.... ever. They hit the draft well and free agency covered a lot of holes.

Not to be a pessimist (actually, I'm optimistic), but as a number have said 'on paper.' That said, FINALLY addresses the OL, looks like there's a quality QB in the house, and a real HC. Yeah, I'm impressed with this off-season
 
Well, I think we all expected Miami to win the offseason.

IMO the team is further along than expected. Free agency was more than I thought it would be with Larson, Van Noy, Flowers, Jones, Howard, Karras and Ogbah. I was expecting players more in the Lawson range, but was surprised by Jones and Van Noy. Those are huge additions.

The draft brought Tua without trading up. Had he not been injured, the Dolphins would have had to use draft capital to get him, likely at least another #1 pick. Brandt was spot on there. That's a huge win for Miami. Jackson has a chance to be one of the better LT's or maybe RT if the team decides to have him protect Tua's blindside. Didn't necessarily agree with all the picks, but Miami went premium positions in the first round which does make sense.

Every aspect of the roster has been improved, some dramatically.
 
I think what has impressed me the most this off-season is that our staff identified our weaknesses and aggressively tried to address them. It sounds crazy, but for years we had obvious holes in the roster and our staff would try to address them with day 3 picks or injury prone, stop-gap veterans. We had all of our money tied up in players who could never live up to their contracts like Suh (who played well for us, but never had a $20M per year impact). On a final note, I can’t remember a time when a Dolphins 1st round pick had the 2 highest selling jerseys in the NFL. There is an air of excitement for the future around the team that I haven’t felt in a long time.

Agree. Miami had 10-15 holes and tried to fix it with one BIG FA (e.g., Wallace, Suh). The FAs seemed to play below expectations, but I attribute some of that to abysmal coaching. This off-season the FO acted like a legitimate NFL FO. Impressive. Flo looks like a good coch based on one season. An effort was made to fill holes. It may be the nd of '21 before the verdict is in, but there is a sense of excitement/optimism that is now to Fin fans. Agree with the thread title . . . Miami had a good off-season, Now, build on it
 
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. This is the first time in over 20+ years I have felt great about the fins future! All the things you guys have mentioned is spot on. I had almost given up on the fins. My love had dwindled greatly over the last 10 years. It was still there, but more like burning coals than actual flames. Now, there is finally a sense of people actually knowing what the HELL is going on. I didn’t know who Flo was when we hired him, but wow has he made a quick and good impression on me. It seems like we finally have an entire front office working well together. As long as that continues, and Tua stays healthy, we have a fighting chance to be a yearly contender going forward. In the past 20+ years if we thought we had a real chance at contending, deep down we knew we were just fooling ourselves.
 
The narrative definitely sounds different than last year considering the Dolphins had very few nfl players worth a roster spot last year according to the experts. Been a fan since.,???...and I'm happier for the Dolphins than I am my hometown Falcons (I love then too...but I would love Flores instead of Quinn).
