6. Lamar Miller, Miami Dolphins running back: The Dolphins reportedly want to re-sign Miller after watching three different play-callers underutilize him in the past three years. It's a tricky situation, though, with salary-cap issues, a possible franchise tag for pass rusher Olivier Vernon and the organization's belief that 2015 fifth-round pick Jay Ajayi is a starting-caliber running back. If Doug Martin returns to Tampa Bay, Miller could leapfrog Forte as the most coveted back available.
7. Derrick Shelby, Miami Dolphins defensive end: Shelby might not be a household name, but he had one of the NFL's most overlooked contract-year pushes as Cameron Wake's replacement down the stretch last season. A stout run defender with exceptionally strong hands, Shelby also made a habit of bulldozing linemen into the quarterback's lap as a disruptive interior force on third downs. Although he lacks the speed to emerge as a premier edge rusher, Shelby is a versatile defensive lineman just entering the prime of his career. If the Dolphins find a way to keep Vernon, Shelby will be in line for an expanded role in another city.

If the team can't sign Vernon I hope they can sign Shelby and Miller.
 
I'd be really happy if Shelby is resigned for a reasonable contract.

Could care less about Miller as RB and interchangeable

OV is going after the big money he and his agent believe he is due. Go get the money young man!
 
you can probably kiss Shelby good bye. I like him, but some team is going to give him a deal that is gonna look bad in a year, and we're just not gonna match.
 
Tag OV and resign Miller. Our priorities should be keeping our good draft picks.

Raw Dog, meh.
 
I think we keep either Vernon or Shelby but not both. As for Miller, I think it's going to come down to how much he wants to stay in Miami. I doubt we will make him a lucrative offer like other teams will.
 
Shelby is essentially David Bowens, it shouldnt be too hard to keep him.
 
Let Vernon go too much money but definitely keep Shelby and miller.
 
Hard to keep everyone you want in today's NFL, but I would like the see the team concentrate on re-signing productive, homegrown talent. To me, Olivier Vernon is a must keep. Lamar Miller would be nice at the right price. I expect Derrick Shelby and Rishard Matthews to sign elsewhere with more opportunity.

Agreed bro we can't resign everyone and make this team better. It will be interesting to see how everything works out.
 
Alot of holes and not enough money. We will see how this shakes out. We need to keep our players that we have developed. Who will they keep is the big question.

Yes, many holes and not enough money. This is why you don't blow the budget on players like Suh. Optimizing one position other than QB rarely results in optimization of the entire team.
