I was very against signing OBJ, but that was when the contract numbers were reportedly to be $12-15M per year. I can tell you for the sum we’re paying him, which will max out if Odell Beckham reaches every performance incentive, is $8.5M. Well done Dolphins! We brought in a battle tested, crafty wide receiver who at this point in his career, is less about blowing past people and more about knowing where to be, and making the clutch catch and helping his team. Let me say this though, some uninformed feel OBJ was the big offseason move but I believe picking up TE Jonnu Smith was the most important move this team made. I’ll spend the rest of this article outlining just how necessary acquiring both of these players was for the Miami Dolphins.
We’ve been dreaming about having a TE in Miami who is a legitimate receiving threat. We had TE Mike Gesicki, and we so strongly hoped he’d be that guy. He was capable of making some difficult catches, especially some one handed wonders, but what Mike Gesicki could never do was get open and beat coverage, and run after the catch. He was a long strider, and once he made the catch, lacked the power and tenacity to beat a defender and escape tackles, even by a much smaller defensive back. In 2024, enter Jonnu Smith. Let me preface this by saying Jonnu has had a very modest career so far, but this guy is trending up! Smith was not the starting TE, or the most targeted TE, as the Falcons had drafted TE Kyle Pitts 4th overall in the 2021 NFL Draft. As it turns out though, Pitts only out-targeted Smith by 20, Pitts had 90 targets while Jonnu had 70, but the most telling stat is Jonnu Smith only had 3 less receptions than Pitts, and only 85 yards less receiving, Pitts 667 yards, Smith 582, and both TE’s had 3 TD’s.
I’m not going to disparage our current TE Durham Smythe, who I believe was always intended to be a 2nd TE, an able blocker to help with the run game as a blocker, and occasionally catch a pass here and there. Despite the revolving door of young, promising guys we’ve brought in behind Durham, he ends up the starter because he’s reliable, both in knowing where he needs to be, and even more paramount, his ability to block. Hunter Long, Julian Hill, Tanner Conner, Tyler Kroft, bring ’em on baby, and Smythe outlasted and outpaced all of them. This season there are some all hot about Jody Fortson, who backed up Travis Kelce in KC. Jonnu Smith with be the leading receiver at TE for the Dolphins, and then Durham Smythe will be next, and Smythe will remain the starter and get more snaps than Smith, but Smith will be crucial for us this season, and mostly be a huge help to QB Tua Tagovailoa.
Let me start this paragraph with this – NO MIAMI DOLPHINS TE CAUGHT A TD PASS IN 2023!! No typo, not one TD reception for ANY Dolphins TE. I’ll tell you that Jonnu Smith is going to change that! He had 3 TD’s last season, I boldly say he will double that this season. First off, Falcons QB only threw 12 TD’s last season, and RB Bijan Robinson had 4 of them. While Tua struggled last season in the red zone, I strongly feel that Jonnu Smith will be the elixir. It’s such a different dynamic here in this Miami Dolphins offense, with Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle, even sprinkle in a little OBJ, I think Jonnu will feast here in this situation. Jonnu Smith caught 71% of his targets, while Kyle Pitts caught only 58%. He’s reliable, and has huge run after catch ability, something we haven’t had here at that position for far too long. Think of how much opposing defenses have to spend in numbers trying to defend Hill and Waddle, then add in OBJ, and you can just picture how Smith will be in single coverage with a LB or S, and how he can have his way with Tua’s accuracy and timing.
OK, now to the OBJ portion of this article. It’s not that either starting WR missed a lot of time, Jaylen Waddle missed 3 games, while it was nearly impossible to keep Tyreek Hill out of the lineup, he missed only 1 game. The problem though was that Tyreek was hurting, playing hurt, and he was compromised. Now props to Tyreek for battling through the injuries and taking the field, but the bigger problem was that the Dolphins really didn’t have a Plan B without Tyreek. The very first game Jaylen Waddle missed, the Dolphins obliterated the Denver Broncos 70-20, just covering the 48 point spread (Joking!). Where it really hurt the Dolphins was at the end of the season against both the Ravens and the Bills in Games 16 and 17. Let me let you in something pretty amazing. When Tyreek Hill says Tua is the most accurate QB, he ain’t lying! There were games this season where Hill caught an astounding 91% of his targets, and trust me, they weren’t screen passes, and I’m not talking 3 targets, I’m talking 11. In games where they were clicking, and there were a few, 6 to be exact, where Hill was targeted 74 times and he caught an amazing 58 of them. That’s over 78%, which if you don’t realize is practically absurd. The problem though with Hill hurting, and Waddle either OUT or also hurting, or both hurting, that number drops precipitously to 50% for Hill, and therein lies the problem. I think OBJ can step in and replace either Hill or Waddle for short stints without a significant dropoff. That’s so important to the way this offense functions. We must have 2 WR’s that threaten the defense.
What I’d like to see more of this season is a different wrinkle to our offense, something that suggests that our HC Mike McDaniel is evolving, and can use his personnel to better adapt to the opponent. I think he’s great offensive mind, and I think that will be something we see here in his 3rd season as Head Coach. I’d like to see some games where we go just go run heavy, and I think drafting RB Jaylen Wright will facilitate this. I love Raheem Mostert, but I was afraid to overuse him, and getting Wright, and more importantly, another Jaylen so no team could conceivably have more Jaylen, Jaelan, or Jalens than the Miami Dolphins. Seriously though, we can lean on Wright for carries, while you didn’t want to stretch Mostert too far, and couldn’t rely on a big workload for rookie sensation De’Von Achane. Maybe some 2 RB sets, and some 3 TE sets, or 6 OL sets, and just pound some teams. Apparently our run blocking should be better up the middle with new OC Aaron Brewer, and we already know we can run outside with any team, so it would be nice to give the little guys like Hill and Waddle a little rest and just run the ball over and through some defenses.
Anyway, very happy to have TE Jonnu Smith who was my favorite roster add, and then OBJ for the right price. Great signing, even if we were bidding against no one. Both of these players will have big value for us this season. As you know, not everything is sunshine and rainbows, and I hope what we’ve done for the defense is enough. Still very suspicious of that D-line, despite retaining Zach Sieler. Zach Sieler and Christian Wilkins had a great dynamic, they fed off of each other, both on and off the field, but it’s on the field I’m afraid is what we’ll miss. If no one else on the D-line becomes a legitimate pass rush threat, and the OLB’s aren’t doing enough, you know Sieler will get a lot of attention, and that will limit his effectiveness. I know a lot of people have brought up Calais Campbell, including myself, and why not? Campbell at age 37 played 17 games, played 63% of the defensive snaps and added 6.5 sacks, 17 QB Hits and 10 tackles for loss. That’s probably more than everyone else not named Zach Sieler combined on our D-line. I say if we’re going for it, sign Calais Campbell!
GO DOLPHINS!!!
Finsmob Unleashed 
3. Jordan Poyer over Brandon Jones
The Dolphins still have work to do at the safety position and will likely have to comb through the free-agent market once the Howard money clears in early June. The decision to sign Jordan Poyer was smart, considering the Dolphins lost both DeShon Elliott and Brandon Jones this offseason.
Of the two, Poyer will make a much bigger impact than Jones was able to make during his time in Miami. Poyer has a long history of success in the NFL. He has spent the last seven seasons with the Bills after stops with the Eagles and Browns to start his career.
Poyer isn’t surprised by much anymore, and he remains a physical hitter who tackles well at the point of contact. Overall, there is no comparison to Jones, but is he better than Elliott was last season? Elliott looked good with Miami last year, and fans were surprised that Miami didn’t make a bigger attempt to re-sign him. Regardless of the reason, Poyer should provide options in Weaver’s defense. Poyer plays smart, tough and instinctive, and he should pair well with Jevon Holland.
2. Jonnu Smith over the Dolphins entire TEs group
Miami spent their franchise tag two seasons ago on Mike Gesicki and then proceeded to leave him on the bench. Ultimately, he signed with the Patriots where they too left him on the bench. Miami was content with playing last season without a top pass-catching tight end. They needed a better option.
Durham Smythe is a good blocking tight end and an adequate pass-catcher, but Jonnu Smith can do both of those jobs and is far superior to Smythe in the passing game. In fact, Smith is a better receiving option in Mike McDaniel’s offense than any other tight end on the roster.
Like every player, Smith has the potential for poor play. In the case of Smith, it isn’t so much poor play as McDaniel’s poor play-calling. McDaniel has to utilize Smith in his system. It would be a waste of talent if he did not.
Smith is better than any other TE on the Dolphins roster, and while Smythe is more consistent, that can’t be said about the others on the team. Smith is a player who can improve the Dolphins’ offense. He runs solid routes and can muscle defenders for contested passes. Smith’s addition will improve the unit considerably.
1. Odell Beckham Jr. over Cedrick Wilson
Cedrick Wilson was paid very well over his two seasons with the Dolphins. It is a safe argument that he did not come close to earning his paycheck. Maybe some of that was on Tua Tagovailoa, who focuses on his top two wide receivers more often. Maybe it was the design of the offense, but Wilson has the tools to be very good as a No. 3 WR, which makes me believe his usage in Miami was a problem.
Enter Odell Beckham Jr. Beckham will fill the role vacated by Wilson when he was released ahead of free agency. Wilson’s 296 yards and three touchdowns last season was his best statistical season in Miami. In 2023, OBJ put up 565 yards and three touchdowns while in Baltimore.
Both players have differing strengths and weaknesses, and it will be interesting to see how McDaniel uses Beckham in his offense. Will he split him outside and move Jaylen Waddle inside, or will OBJ line up in the slot in an attempt to force linebacker coverage or safety coverage that might leave Waddle one-on-one outside? Regardless, Beckham doesn’t have to do too much more to eclipse Wilson’s production for Miami this campaign.

Dolphins twitter is ablaze with so many twidiots. All talking about how Tua was getting over $55M per before Goff signed his contract. I don’t see how, or why you pay him like that, but I’m not the Dolphins FO. Goff doesn’t have an injury history and he plays just about every game. He’s also won playoff games and took his team to the Super Bowl, and even though he’s 4-4 in the playoffs, he’s thrown 8 TD’s and only 2 INT’s. He knows how to show up in a big game.
**********************************
Honestly, I wish they would give him whatever fucked up contract they’re going to give him and just get it over with. It’s like waiting to have some kind of really painful surgery or procedure done. You don’t want to agonize waiting for it, you want it over with.
He could get 55m, but would it be real or just a high avg per year, so the agent can use it
As soon as he signs people will be all up in arms before they know anything more than the APY
We’ll find out when we find out
You guys have been really slacking, since the draft
Where’s all the mock schedules🤪
I don’t really care what they pay him. I just want him to play better when it matters. Like it or not…and I don’t, QBs are expected to be the difference. Win a damn big game when it’s on the line. That’s what $55M/year buys.
That’s the thing Randy in a nutshell. He’s supposed to be a difference maker, elevate the team, but he hasn’t done that in any of our big games at the end of the season.
At Buffalo of course, because our FO is too stupid to request a home Thursday game

The report I read said it was in Buffalo, but that seems to be wrong
At least we get the stupid Thursday night game out of the way early.
MikeE,
I look at it this way: I’d bet every starting QB in the league right now could get this team into the playoffs. If folks don’t believe that then they really don’t think much of the team. If you’re a franchise QB and want to be paid like it, then you need to do more than what every other QB could do.
I agree, winning the division and getting home field is something we should have taken care of last season and we failed.

Amazon announces Bills at Dolphins will kickoff its TNF slate on Sept. 12. So primetime-wise, we’ve got … • Kickoff, Sept. 5: Ravens at Chiefs, NBC. • MNF opener, Sept. 9: Jets at Niners, ESPN. • TNF opener, Sept. 12: Bills at Dolphins, Amazon.
Set me up Mike
I don’t love opening up on Thursday night
basically I’m gonna fumble trying to even see the game
I have no idea how this streaming stuff works anymore
I would rather play the Bills in the day time – when the heat is on them
I think the whined so much the last time they played in the heat – the Ndl game them a night game
it would also be nice if the @bills game was played before week12
I see it’s werk 2 – not opening weekend
I agree. Bills get a big break from the heat. Sucks because we will probably play in Buffalo in the cold and maybe snow.
the good news though is that Thursday night road games are also a disadvantage
so getting bills on the road on Thursday is good
it would be ideal if we get week 1 at home
and the Bills get week 1 on the road
if that happens it’s probably better than a 1pm September game in Miami
So, we play Pats in week 6 and 18. Jets play 49er’s opening weekend. We play Bills week 2. So, our opening game won’t be a division game.
Also, we are home week 2. So, we are likely opening on the road week 1.
Ravens are playing Chiefs week 1.
Haven’t checked leak on these teams, but looks like we could be on the road week 1 at Seahawks, Green Bay, Houston, Indianapolis, or LA Rams.
If we’re gonna play the Pack on the road, Week 1 works best for us
I wouldn’t mind getting the west coast game out of the way in week 1 either. Worked out well for us last year.
This is some bullshit. Chiefs get to open at home their first 2 games against 2 of their biggest AFC rivals in the Ravens and Bengals.
Not only that, but they open on Thursday night 9/5 vs the Ravens, so they get 9 days off before the Bengals come to town.
Also, their Thursday game is the first game of the season, so they don’t even have to play on a short week.
they opened on TNF last season at home and lost to the Lions
I think there’s a chance we open home in the first 2 weeks of the season
Oh, we have two west coast games this year, so they will likely bundle those, meaning we probably won’t start week 1 against Seattle or LA.
Plus traveling back from the west coast on a short week would suck. Hopefully Piggy is right and we get two at home to start the season.
If we do start the season with 2 home games, it will be either Jaguars, Titans, Cardinals or Raiders.
I would take the Titans rematch to start the season.
KC and the Ravens, like us aren’t locked into playing only 1 Thursday game
Detroit and Dallas will likely play 2 Thursday games
Wouldd be BS, if we had 9 road games and 2 Thursday games
Pitt had 2 Thursday games last year
jets had a Thursday and a Friday
Forgot, we wouldn’t be on road at Packers week 1 as GB plays Eagles in Brazil.
The kickoff game teams…
KC, and of course Detroit, played 2 Thursday games last year
Those last 2 UDFA signings put our roster at 90. Once X is officially released 6/1 we will have one more spot. I would think it would be another vet.
Of course, there will be some churning of the roster for months.
Calais Campbell for the win!
so week 1 cannot be:
Green Bay, Jets, Pats, Bills, 49ers
but it can be home: Jaguars, Titans, Raiders or cards:
or away colts, Texans, rams, Seahawks, browns
is that right
I hope it’s not Seahawks – having the longest trip in the nfl back from Seattle and playing on a short week is not ideal
im really rooting for Titans or jaguars in week 1
I think Browns play Cowboys week 1
Fourth possible away team would be Colts.
honestly hoping weeks 8 and 9 are the Seahawks and Rams games too
let me give Piggy’s dream schedule a shot
this isn’t the schedule this is just my hope
1 – titans
2. bills
3. @ browns
4 @packers
(get those cold weather away games out of the way early)

I’d prefer a Sunday game as well. I don’t have to celebrate on the actual day. In fact, I prefer a Birthday month celebration. 🥳
Piggy
I agree to get that Packer game as early as possible!
Yes… the only thing I care about is to get those away games against northern teams out of the way ASAP.
Thus, it sucks that we don’t get the 1 PM heat advantage at home against the Bills in week 2… plus we’ll likely play them at Orchard Park in late December/early January. The Bills are crybabies 😡
I’m serious when I say this: even if we had a perfectly healthy roster last season when we played the Chefs* in KC in the Wildcard, we probably would have lost anyway.
Why? -30 windchills would have negated us from competing against a team that’s built for the cold, as we’re built for the heat.
We’ve got to win the AFC EAST at least, if we want a chance to win a (home) playoff game.
Until ‘global warming’ actually happens, we’re going to be playing in the stone cold come playoff time as an away team.
That game shouldn’t have been played, but the temps the days after weren’t warm enough to have changes the outcome
Son
there’s actually a real shot we don’t have any home games in October
we know the patriots game is @ Foxboro is week 6
we also know week 7 (10/20) is the Taylor swift 🤮 concert in hard rock
I put the bye that week instead of away games 2 weeks in a row
and then I figured after the bye we get a west coast game
I think the jests game (In my hypothetical) is the first week of oct
I didn’t cross check it with a Calendar
this is from Big E on Twitter
none of it is confirmed except week 2
but if he’s right, then we do get home and home to start – which is great for Thursday v the bills
also if Big E is right about week 6 – that’s the 10/12 week Herd isn’t available
so it’s off the table anyway
the Seattle game or a west coast game wouldn’t be bad for week 3 either
The schedule is what it is. Win games, make the playoffs and go as far as you can.
Hopefully a lot further than last year’s quick exit from the playoffs, looking like we never belonged on the field with KC
I like that we play BUF on Thursday Night Football. Forget the heat advantage, just beat them because we’re better and we want it more. Not only that, but at least we get to watch the game in 4K. Frigging disgrace that all NFL games aren’t broadcast in 4K, after all it’s a multi billion dollar industry. The UFL shows every game in 4K, but the NFL can’t? Inexcusable. Anyway, let’s wipe the Bills off the field at night Week 2, and then again in BUF because we’re the better team, period!
Think about this, if we don’t open on the road as we have 9 road games this season, 9 out of our last 15 games will be on the road. That is if we open with 2 home games.
At Houston week 1, me thinks

Dolphins vs. Seahawks
Sunday, Sept. 22
The Dolphins will travel across the country, according to internet reports, to take on Seattle in Week 3. This is the longest domestic travel for any NFL team. Hard Rock Stadium and Lumen Field have the most miles between them than any other stadiums in the NFL.
Week 4 should be at the Rams then.
We get extra time for that trip since we play Thursday week 2, so that’s good scheduling for us.
Week 15
Hard Rock Stadium is hosting the Rolling Loud music festival Dec. 13-15, so unless the Dolphins are playing on Monday night that week, the game will be on the road.
Hope that is not the GB game.
Week 18
With the Orange Bowl hosting the College Football Playoff semifinal on Jan. 9, the odds are strong that the NFL will send the Dolphins on the road for their finale. If not, the Hard Rock Stadium field would potentially host three high-stakes games in seven days.

I think we are projected to play at the Jets the last game of the season.

Thanks Mike! I can wait, I was just being silly! LOL
I figured, I’m avoiding yard work today so…
It’s being reported that the Jets have 7 primetime games in their first 11 games which includes an overseas game.
WTF, that can’t be true.
Have to get them in early in case Rodgers physically implodes.
that way the entire country can laugh about how pathetic they are….lol
It does make sense for them to have more than usual prime games since they share a stadium with the giants
it makes it a little easier to alternate if they take advantage of Monday’s and Thursday etc
Phinsider shows Jets at Miami week 18. Guess I’ll just wait. lol
Ok, so which is it? Jest or Pets in week 18?
don’t know how I feel about the green bay thanksgiving game
but weeks 1-3 are ideal
Home and home (for Thursday shirt week) is great
and then we get a long rest before the longest strip in the nfl – so we can get there early
and then @ Buffalo before icicle season is great too
I’m excited about the Dolphins in the evening on Thanksgiving. If it was morning or afternoon, I’d be less excited.
And if we have the Jest the following week (unconfirmed), then we might get a rest advantage which is nice.

Was hoping the GB game would be a little earlier. It’s already snowing up there by Thanksgiving. Night game will be a little colder.
Maybe global warming kicks in a little more this year. lol
Kong – Could be pretty cold in GB at night on Thanksgiving. Not sure I like that so much
Very likely will be in the 20’s or colder
Does this qualify as my 3rd beer today? lol
Fittin to be passed out by the time the full schedule comes out, lol.
I don’t want the team to play in the conditions we had against KC, but that was extreme.
If we’re at all serious about winning in the playoffs we’ll have to play in the cold. And actually, I don’t think we’ve played that badly in the cold over the last couple of years other than the KC game, which I think had more to do with their D than the cold.
And a primetime cold weather game on thanksgiving will be a good test for the team to get them ready for a road playoff game, lol.
And…if we’re going to have some cold weather games where we might be at a disadvantage, I’d much rather them be out of conference games than divisional games.
There are so many factors to consider with these dang schedules, I’m not sure how much any of this matters to be honest. I think one thing and am like, oh this is good, then 4 other things crop up that negate the good thing, or vise versa, lol.
They say the Dolphins/Packers game will be on NBC. Not sure if that is regular NBC or Peacock.

I think that OZZYNFL guy is the same one who said Dolphins @ Rams MNF week 10

These week numbers aren’t helpful. I want a DATE on there! Would make it much easier. 😁
Ok, my lunch is over. No more partial schedule stream of consciousness comments from me 🤣
Herd, week 8 is 10/27 and it’s looking good for Home game so far
week 8
Thank you! 😂
Unless they use Cavs most recent schedule 🖕
One thing SERIOUSLY irks me: we don’t get to play at home in week 7 due to a very insipid/pesky/stupid/retarded Taylor Swift concert? C’mon, Steve Ross… WTF is wrong with you? 😡
And if that turns out to be our BYE week, I’m going to lose my shit. 😡
How about our celebrity/minority owners schedule a concert at Arrowhead Stadium in December to interupt the Chefs* season, right?!! 😡
Or ANYTIME against ANY of our rivals, right?!!
I think the placement of the BYE week is very important to every NFL team. Too early, too bad. Too late, too bad. But when it occurs mid-season, it’s perfect.
Looking forward to seeing when our BYE week is this season.
according to below – it’s week 6
don’t Know of this is reliable but looks good
NOT HAPPY 😡
week 17 at Browns on SNF is not ideal
We’ll find out from the GB game and the CLE game where we’re at in cold weather games. If we have to travel to a cold clime, hopefully we’ll know we can handle it, or know we’re in for some misery
Looks like @Jest to end the season too.
This just posted. We’ll see in about 45 minutes if this is accurate.

Jest twice, Houston, San Fran, and Cleveland. That is a tough last 5 games.
Cardinals as a fest game looks pretty good. That should be a win.
Works for me
should be shooting for 7-0 by then…
🐖💨
Two cold weather road games to end the season. That sucks!
@schadjoe
In first 7 Miami Dolphins games here, there is only 1 playoff participant from 2023.
In last 9 Miami Dolphins games here, there are 6 playoff participants from 2023.
One positive here is if Jaelan Phillips and/or Bradley Chubb are not back or full speed in early season.
I know it’s a sore spot
but getting off to a good start is thr only way to have a good season
we just need a good finish too
and the jets twice, which could be tough if Rodgers is Rodgers
I actually hate playing the jets 2x in a short amount of time
I like playing our division opponents more hrs apart
lol
The 5 primetime games for the Dolphins are the most since 2004.
The Jets have 7 primetime games in their first 11 games.
