Win win. 2 talented backs that know the system on the cheap. Glad they aren't overpaying for a big name at this position.

Great news
-
If this is the team's plan B, it was always my plan A, so I'm good with this development.
-
We need to add some OL now but the market is bat**** crazy for them right now. -
Not the most exciting news, but not bad.
-
Meh...Expect similar production we got this past season which wasn't bad at all.
-
Plus getting more time with Tua to help with their chemistry should hopefully help as well.
Still, I hope at least a late round pick will be a 4th runningback who hopefully will become the new Mitchell.Ohio Fanatic likes this. -
Mostert contract is on OverTheCap and it's ridiculously cheap. $2.1M this year and only a 650K cap hit if he gets cut next year.
Duke Riley contract is very similar just about 10% cheaper. $1.9M this season and 585K cap hit if cut next season. -

That's assuming we still have picks in that area of the draft lol, I can barely keep up with what is being shipped out. :tongue: -
I was really hoping we were going to try and get a stud running back. I heard rumors that Derrick Henry might’ve been a possibility and I had an instant viagra induced erection at the prospect of it.
With that said, I guess this is an ok move.King Felix likes this. -
I'm happy with the moves as realistically we could end up getting Mostert, Wilson and have space for Poyer for the same money Henry would have cost. -
I'm fine with bringing those three back, they were effective. I would have loved to bring Henry on board though. The guy is an absolute beast.

I'm okay with this:
-
Had we pursued a stud running back and not placed any focus on upgrading the OL, I might’ve been a little skeptical but ok with the signing of a reliable powerhouse running back. But to go the route we’ve gone?
I see a Greek tragedy in the making when it comes to our run game.canesz06 likes this. -

Today was the first official day of the offseason. The Dolphins can still draft or sign or trade for a runningback and same with offensive line.
Hell, last year at this time we were moaning about the wide receivers and offensive line, when a week later Miami traded for Hill and signed Armstead.Phil Hutchings likes this. -
Individually Wilson and Mostert both rushed for 4.9 YPC last season.
The league average per attempt last season was just 4.4 YPC. They were both a Full half yard above average.
Among all NFL RB’s with Atleast 100 carries to qualify last season. Wilson and Mostert were tied for 10th in the league in yards per carry.
They could be better in the passing game. But they are very productive runners. Just ‘ok’ in the passing game.Phil Hutchings and OwesOwn614 like this. -

I’m really pleased with this development, as I thought both of them did well last season.
I know that they’re not the best RBs around, but we have other, more pressing needs that must be addressed.Pennington's Limp Arm likes this. -

Some love from Saturday Morning Inspection, who always seem like just a couple of guys until they pop up with next gen stats in every video. They compare the money spent on Wilson and Mostert with individual "name" players and think we did well by saving loot while the tandem has outplayed those stars.

I like bringing them back. They know the offense and were a good one - two punch.

Hope Mostert is gonna run as hard as he did at the end of the year.
Dude tapped into something
And we better take advantage of this rich draft class
Tajae, Israel Abinikanda, Chase Brown..
If it was me with our limited picks I would find a way and draft Duece Vaughn even if it meant giving up a pick next year to add one this yearLast edited: Mar 31, 2023 -

But a lot of Gm’s are bad at their job
If he gets past the fourth he’s a steal

Sounds like there will be good value in later rounds. -
Just bumping this to show some love to Mostert, whose contract is probably the best value in the league right now. Looks like we got a fresh Wilson as well. If we can get a healthy Achane in the next couple of weeks, we're going to have a deep stable of quality players in that room. Heck, even Darrynton Evans made the most of his two carries.
