Dolphins Bound to Make Splashes in Free Agency

The Miami Dolphins are scheduled to have the tenth most cap space in the NFL this offseason. As we all know, owner Stephen Ross isn’t afraid to throw big money at big-time players. With the salary cap lower than it has been in a while, it will be interesting to see what contracts players want. Here, we take a look at some free agents that Miami must get in free agency.
 
Lavonte David, Linebacker
           
If Miami decides to go all in on David and throw all of their money at him, I won’t be angry, and you shouldn’t be either. With the addition of David, the Dolphins defense has the potential to be the best in the NFL. Not one of the best, but THE best. David is one of the most consistent and underrated players in the NFL. He’s had over 100 tackles every single year except one, and he can do it all. His coverage skills are fantastic, as he shut down Travis Kelce in the Super Bowl. David is the middle linebacker the Dolphins need, and he would also boost the play of his teammates. Jerome Baker has the potential to have a Devin White type season if the Dolphins sign David. 

Picture
Bud Dupree, Edge
           
A consistent edge rusher that opponents need to plan around is something the Dolphins haven’t had since Cameron Wake. Even when the Dolphins had Wake, the rest of the pass rushers on the team were mediocre at best. If you add Dupree to Miami’s current pass rushing rotation, it has the potential to be one of the best in the NFL. He’s progressed as a pass rusher since 2019, when he started all 16 games. Dupree had 11.5 sacks that season; this past year, he had 8.5 sacks in 11 games. To go along with exceptional pass rushing skills, Dupree is also a good run defender, something Miami still needs help with. Dupree would not only instantly make our pass defense arguably among the top five in the NFL, but also bring much needed help to the outside run defense. 
 
Golden Tate, Wide Receiver
           
Some people may not want Tate, as he is 32 years old, and think the team needs a bigger name player, but Tate precisely fits what the Dolphins are looking for in a receiver. Tate is one of the most notable YAC receivers in the league, something Miami is missing. Since he has entered the league, Tate leads the league in RAC yards with 4,248. That’s an insane stat, and he would immediately be one of Tua Tagovailoa’s favorite targets. As well as filling the need, Miami won’t need to break the bank for Tate, as he won’t demand nearly as much money as Allen Robinson, Marvin Jones, or Corey Davis. Tate would also be a good mentor for guys already on the team (Lynn Bowden, Malcolm Perry, and Albert Wilson), and for a potential rookie draft pick.

David or Dupree make very good sense as Free agent acquisitions options. Miami seems to be leaning towards "Toys-4-Tua" with their draft capital . Chase or Pitts would be a great fit. Either one would compliment Kelsici and Parker.
Miami is sitting pretty holding many cards. Let's hope they play them in the fight order. Cheers

I think the team made a huge mistake choosing Tua over Herbert , they either need to get Watson ,or take the best QB available with the #3 pick in the draft , trade Tua ,can maybe get a 5th rounder for him ,he's a bust

yours a bust as a fan. Tua had a decent season.he us a rookie he wasn't gonna take us to the sb in his first season. And guess what who won when herbert and Tua played this past season? Tua did. Herbert had a proven line and weapons. Tua had a line with 3 rookies and no run game and subpar was. So how bout stfu and let the kid improve with weapons next season.

I’d really like to see someone like David in aqua. LB was a glaring issue because of the injury’s and unproven talent at the beginning of last season aside from Van Noy establishing himself in NE and Baker being on the fence from a fan’s perspective. David alongside Baker in nickel has a nice ring to it along with complementary play style outside in 3-4. Notable addition in the draft at LB is Parsons with the possibility to trade back and take advantage of the large WR market later on.
