Not that this season is officially shot, but our playoff chances aren't great at this point. I think most of us will agree we have our QB, so the next question is what weapons will be available to help him out?
Notables:
RB
Chris Ivory
Rashad Jennings
Johnathon Dwyer
Bernard Scott
Javon Ringer
Rashad Mendenhall
WR
Steve Smith (car)
Emmaneul Sanders
Ramses Barden
And Cruz, Welker and Wallace, none of which have a good chance of making it to the market
TE
Martellus Bennett
Heath Miller
Dustin Keller
Jared Cook
Zach Miller (haha, kidding)

I think it's pretty unlikely the Dolphins are big players in the free agency market. Joe Philbin has said he prefers as much, and the way they handled this off-season seems to be putting their money where their mouth is.
I think for the most part the Dolphins are going to tend towards "insurance" type signings, and young, cheap players with upside and/or past performance. -
Any guards?

Waters seems pretty pissed off at NE. Maybe he'd come play here for cheap to stick it to them :lol:Conuficus likes this. -
I'd take a look at Ryan Clady or Jermon Bushrod if Jake Long isn't brought back.
-
We didn't even take Watters the first time around. Despite half the board calling for it. I doubt he'd be interested...
-
Levitre and Reynolds may be the only two I'd really consider off of that list to be honest. I didn't like Levitre a whole hell of a lot at Tackle when he came out, but as a guard he has above average athleticism.

I wasn't aware our QB was Aaron Rodgers and he was flanked by the deepest WR core in the league. It's not THIS OFFENSE. To think we have Philbin so you just plug in Jennings and he's the same guy as he was in GB is just silly.
29 isn't that old but it def is for a guy who's missed nearly the entire season and will most likely be looking for at least 8-9+ a year. -
Dwayne Bowe. I'm not crazy about him but he would give us the red-zone threat we so desperately need. We dont have a single WR or TE who can create any kind of mismatch inside the red-zone. That should be a top priority this off-season. There's also some interesting options at T if we do the smart thing and let Long walk. Don't have much faith in Ireland finding skill position players unfortunately.

Any good free agent Cornerbacks/Safeties this offseason?
-
Why isn't D.Bowe on that list?
-
Brent Grimes is a player I would like us to take a look at. Good solid corner if he can come back from his injury. Probably available too.
There are some quality veterans on this list too but really no one worth breaking the bank for.
Quintin Jammer
Aquib Talib
Tracy Porter
I think Marcus Trufant is also a free agent.
I wouldn't be opposed to giving Jammer a look. Depite his age he is still playing at a high level.
