Report: Dolphins interested in several impending Patriots free agents

The Dolphins hired head coach Brian Flores away from the Patriots last year and they're reportedly interested in potentially adding some players with ties to New England to the team this year.

Great to here about Thuney. We really need that signing IMO.
 
We're "interested" in more than just Thuney. Karras and Mccourty are on the last too and maybe more. Also Ryan Logan.
 
Thuney, Karras and Logan Ryan would be a nice start in Free agency. Really hoping we can get an edge player. It sucks not having anyone who can get after the QB, my entire football life I’ve been spoiled with JT and Cam Wake
 
The Pats get picked off off in FA? Music to my ears. Sidenote. They are not great as they have been regarding talent lately but hey ho. Sooner they become AFC East cellar dwellers the better. I'm getting older and it's become the norm.
 
Familiarity with these players is always a good thing when trying to sign F/A. I have no doubt Thuney, Karras, McCourty and Logan will get serious interest from Miami. I get the feeling Thuney is about to become a very rich man. There are several factors in Favor of the Dolphins IMHO. Miami has and will have the most cap space in 2020. The cap is projected to potentially rise to $240M in 2021. Flores knows all these players. Miami is a tax free state. And most of all the perception on the team took a huge positive swing over the last 9 games. Players know this. I'd expect or my hope is Miami can close the deal on at least 2 of the ex Patriots.

Why not?

If a 32 year old player is still producing at a level where he's a clear improvement over the next guy, and we have no young "potential" talent waiting in the wings, what's the downside?

He's been a very good player in this league, Flo knows him and he's been part of a no nonsense organization.

He's been a leader from an early age.

I agree. Eric Rowe has locked down the SS spot and adds some coverage ability there. Bringing in a crafty veteran FS to sure up that back end and bring a long what should be quite a few young players in the secondary is not a bad move at all.

I don't think people realize he still very fast at his age as well.

Well, another thing to consider is that this rebuild will take more than just one year so this guy could teach the young guys a lot. You need some veterans on your team to help bring the young guys along. I don't want a bunch of older players but you need to have some.
