There is a ton of speculation out there. Some of it includes Kyle Pitts to the Dolphins.

When you consider that move and add the notion of Malik Willis joining the team, do you think it would be a good "marriage"?

I'm not a guru on Xs and Os, so I'm curious if anyone out there thinks this would be a good move for Miami.

I know, there's plenty of time before FA, and the Dolphins aren't in a great financial position.
But that's why we have cap specialists.

I'd be very surprised if this is the sort of route Sully goes down.

At almost every single opportunity he's talked about building through the draft and only using free agency on supplemental players. He's consistently talked about building the roster 'from the inside out' and talked about how vital the lines of scrimmage are. He even at one point in his press conference suggested we'd draft a QB at least every other year.

Throw in our cap situation and the fact that we're currently holding at least one cap-crippling contract in addition to the cap cash issue, I'd be very surprised if we went down the route of either one of these players, let alone both.
 
I agree with the others, this would be completely the opposite of what Sully described in terms of building a team. He focused on scouting and the draft, homegrown players that when the time comes can get the benefit of those free agent dollars vs big name free agents. He said free agency was a supplemental thing. We're not in a win now scenario, we're in a rebuild both roster and cap wise.

I thought you guys wanted the team to tank Kyle Pitts would be huge only if the feature him, Malik Willis really? He didn't cut it in Tennessee and the dolphins is supposed to reward him for being in GreenBay?

It's only speculation. My point was to see if the two players would move the needle.

I can't get caught up in the emotional side that some of you are stuck in.

I agree that Sully painted a different picture in his coach speak. Coaches have been known to go with the mantra "loose lips sink ships".

Nonetheless, I think the team also wants to win as many as possible.

The draft can still be the building block. They can still draft a QB.

I would be surprised as well.

I don't see how the addition changes the draft philosophy.

I get the cap talk, but this was speculation on how or if it would impact the offense.

I disagree slightly. The team does want to win now. The players mentioned wouldn't affect the draft vision.

But, more on point in this "what if" scenario, would the move help push the offense to a competitive level?
