No Chicken Little the sky is not falling. It may look cloudy right now but blue skies are coming.
The first two days have been fast and furious that’s for sure. Of course not fast enough or furious enough for many Dolphin fans likings.
“Aggressive patience†is the theme as describe in the Sun-Sentinel for Cam and Mueller. Mueller states, “we are going to be involved in a lot of deals†but he also says, “we’re going to pick the right ones that help us in the long haul.†To me that’s the statement we as fans should be looking at, the long haul. Cam and Mueller are dedicated to fixing the problems of the past ten years.
In the past few days they have been trimming the fat from this team but what names have been let go that wasn’t discussed? They cut Carter, ok he was due to make $7m this year. I liked him and he was a good leader, but his production wasn’t worth that. Does anyone remember last year when he said about Matt Roth, “he is the reason I will retire?†Looks like time has come for Kevin to move on. They cut James, McKinney, Anderson, who really wanted them back at the cost?
Look at the names on this list, are they really that important?

Sure they are bodies, but they either over paid, underperformed or both, and they are gone. There is a chance that some could be brought back at a lesser contract and that’s great, but not one of them is irreplaceable by free agents that are still out there and rookies that will be drafted, or players that are already on the roster.
Take solace in knowing they didn’t go out and spend $49m on a guard that has never made the Pro Bowl, or $80m on a CB that is in no way shape or form the same league as Champ Bailey.
It seems to me that the Miami Dolphins are finally in capable hands of people that want to build this team not with high priced overpaid free agents, but young and upcoming talent than can be molded into a TEAM.
