FilthyBeast Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 The Dolphins are in a similar terrible cap situation like the Bills but don't even have a division title to show for it. Lot of pressure in south beach to navigate a tough situation and finally break through the AFC East next year. And they might just finally be able to do it since the Bills are likely going to take a big step backward with their own salary cap mess to work through. 1 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are experiencing their own step back with worse coaching and a worse QB. Their shot was this year and they of course choked it away in December and January because that’s what the Dolphins do. don’t hold your breath. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So they have a worse cap situation than the Bills and a worse QB that they’re about to pay but they’re in a better position than the Bills for next year? They are cutting one of their better players, another one of their highest paid players will be about for. Good chunk of the year recovering from his injury, it’s possible they lose Wilkins…I don’t see how they are in a better position 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zag20 Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Another player, usually a cornerback who is deemed to be the best in the league based on a handful of games or something and is soon cast aside as not worth his salary.

You are truly the comedy gift that keeps on giving. You’ve been predicting the Dolphins to overtake the Bills for years. One of these days you will be right. Just like the guy that predicts a stock market crass every year. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
