Surprise Cuts per Dolphins Today:
-
The only name I'm worried about is Gisecki. He's coming off the franchise tag and still doesn't have a deal. Plus, we didn't utilize him at all last season. Could we be shopping him?
Also, I'm a big fan of Skylar Thompson! He's old for a rookie and has some maturity you usually don't see in a 1st year player. I'm worried he gets poached and placed on someone's active roster. -

Not one of these would surprise me. There will be some dog fights starting in a couple of weeks.

it makes outrageous comments and tells downright lies, just to get reaction from listeners.
It's an awful station.Phin McCool and OwesOwn614 like this. -

Think Lynn Bowden might be one. His main trait is versatility, but you've essentially made it redundant. Hill and Waddle have both taken reps in the backfield. Hill, Waddle, Holland, Ezukanma have returned kicks/punts. There's quite a pecking order for reps in the slow; I'd tend to doubt Bowden's ability to be the X or Z. But you're going to still see Hill and Waddle in the slot. Wilson's been primarily a slot/seam threat. Gesicki will get reps there. On top of all this, you've got a big-bodied STs type WR in Trent Sherfield who already knows the offense in-house. If they keep 6 WRs, I can see Bowden challenging for a spot. If not...I think he might be a goner.
