I know and you also know what the depth chart looks like right now on June 14th, 2026. Veteran signings WR Jalen Tolbert (Cowboys) and WR Tutu Atwell (Rams) along with Dolphins veteran Malik Washington take up the 3 top spots on the depth chart. I feel like that will be short lived, and by short lived, I wouldn’t even be surprised if it didn’t even make it to the season’s start. You have to understand where I’m coming from. In no way am I inferring that this team isn’t going to try and win, but there’s also no pressing need to win immediately. Wins and losses won’t be the determining factor of the success or failure of this team. Expectations are very low, and therefore, there simply is no pressure to win games. What that translates to my mind, is we also don’t need to give up playing to two WR’s (Tolbert and Atwell) who are both on 1 year contracts over giving our young WR’s a much needed learning experience of the playing against NFL talent and the speed and physicality of the game.
Is it possible that before Week 1 of the ’26 NFL Season that our depth chart still has Tolbert and Atwell at the top? Sure, but I wouldn’t bet on it lasting all too long. We drafted two Wide Receivers in RD 3, although one of them (Chris Bell) will likely start the season either on IR/Return or the PUP list, WR Caleb Douglas will be given every chance to earn playing time and potentially even start. Depending on how the Dolphins choose to use WR Malik Washington, who is probably better suited as a slot WR, they did also draft in the 5th RD slot WR Kevin Coleman. Washington is a very shifty guy who can get open but he’s a diminutive WR at 5’8 195. Washington can play outside as well, but his strengths are more tuned to catching passes closer to the line of scrimmage and then use his quick burst and change of directions skills like a RB to make defenders miss. We saw an awful lot of that last season with Tua to Washington.
If WR Malik Washington does play in the slot, then it’s even more likely that WR Caleb Douglas will be given lots of opportunities to get playing time. We have training camp and then of course the preseason for Douglas to open some eyes. WR Kevin Coleman will too, and depending on how far along WR Chris Bell is with his rehab, maybe him as well. WR Chris Bell was injured November 22, 2025, so I would tend to think the Dolphins will be careful with him and as I mentioned previously, he’ll either start the season on IR/Return or the PUP list. I also like WR Theo Wease, who got a little playing time at the end of the season with QB Quinn Ewers, when Ewers replaced the beloved Tua at QB. Not beloved by me, mind you, but by some of you. Anyway, Wease flashed some ability and he’s one of a few Dolphins WR’s with some size. Wease is 6’2 210, Douglas is 6’3 205, and Chris Bell is 6’2 220. I don’t know about you guys and gals, but I’d love to have a big bodied wide receiver or two to give teams with smaller corners a difficult matchup. I understand that we have a good receiving TE in Greg Dulcich, but it’s nice to have options. QB’s seem to always find a guy or guys that they trust, they kind of develop this bond and just have this special chemistry and they end up looking their way when they need a big catch. It seemed like Ewers and Wease had that early on, but I’m sure QB Malik Willis will find his own guys soon enough.
Impossible to say how many Wide Receivers we will carry on the opening day roster, but the roster crunch, as well as being cautious once again points to WR Chris Bell not being available early on so another player can occupy his roster spot. It’s likely we’ll be carrying 3 TE’s on the roster, Dulcich, Kacmarek and Traore. I’d expect 9-10 players on the O-line, Paul, Proctor, Brewer, Savaiinaea, Jackson, Salyer, Heck, Campbell and maybe even Kion Smith. Congratulations to C Aaron Brewer who was given a nice new extension 3YR/$52.5M. He earned it with an excellent 2025 season. The unknowns on the right side, namely RG Jonah Savaiinaea and RT Austin Jackson will necessitate keeping a few guys at the ready. Savaiinaea because he was flat out awful, and Jackson because he can’t stay on the field, missing 20 games over the previous 2 seasons. I’d expect us to carry 3 or 4 running backs, or 3 running backs and a fullback. FYI, the Green Bay Packers did not employ a FB, but this isn’t the Green Bay Packers offense either per se. We’ll see how that situation evolves during camp and the preseason, or maybe we won’t. I do think we should get at least a vague idea if we will utilize a FB at all though. What are your thoughts on the WR room? BTW, we do actually have a comments section here. 🙂
GO DOLPHINS!!!
Finsmob Unleashed 
WRs only have to be as good as the situation you put them in
If we can run the to the tune they stack the box, our WRs can be avg, if we can’t run the ball well enough our O will be bad, until we do
at times with Hill and Waddle and no running game the O was stagnant, with a running game these WRs will perform above expectancy
they’re going to have to be good enough to make plays with a stacked box. 3rd downs, with no threat of the run could be an issue, unless Malik can perform some magic
what I think will happen is the OL will be good enough, that we’ll be a good running team, but not dominant, and the WRs will have to perform above avg to make our O a top 16 unit. The WRs will get a boost from Malik buying time and running, and it will factor into them looking better than they are.
good write as usghe mike e , and congrats on the Knicks win, you may have Danhausen to thank for that. ( may have to look that one up )
LOL – Never heard of him, but he’s a character for sure!
also happy to finally have some height and hopefully skill in the wr room
Thank you, Mike E. all the way from Samara, CR!
Our WR unit was gutted for a reason, a few diminutive reasons…lol. Glad we’re bigger and hopefully badder…lol.
Thanks Toba, Krishna! Enjoy Costa Rica Krishna!
Very happy the Knicks pulled it out. I love the detractors of what the Knicks accomplished, all these excuses like they played no one, the best teams were eliminated, the Spurs choked, blah blah blah. Suck it bitches! The best team WON! GO KNICKS!!!
Lol….glad your basketball team won (truly), but completely disagree with you about Wemby.
Wemby is an elite talent, and I liked him before this series, but his immaturity showed many times. He was pretty dirty this series and last.
Can’t comment on the dirty, as i didn’t see it in the examples….homer talk, imo.
Wemby is young and learning the game here.
A few here still believe team building has to do with finding stars (partially true as it’s a talent acquisition business). But, when “stars” aren’t about the team (cough, cough..THill and Tua) how can you possibly expect to WIN?
You can’t! Is it possible that some of the draft picks that were passed over on “your” list didn’t measure up as a “team” player?
Mike E,
I’m considering going to the parade, you?
Not a chance Bri! First fucker that I see with a Palestinian flag or a Keffiyeh shouting anti-Jew shit is getting decked, which means I’m getting into a brawl, which probably won’t end well. I’ll have to pass. lol
Krishna , what about Wemby do you disagree with me on?
That he’s dirty….
If you’re not sure, just watch any of the playoff series. If he wasn’t a great player and the best player on his team, he would have been suspended with all the flagrant fouls he committed, and one he almost committed but missed. Before he even got to the Knicks series he had one brutal flagrant foul, a very dirty elbow. What he may have been during the regular season is not what he was in the Playoffs. The league bent over backwards not to call those fouls on him so he wouldn’t miss any time, which is understandable up to a point, but it also empowered him to be as dirty as he pleased with no ramifications which is never a good thing
It’s not that I’m “sure” or not. The NBA is the roughest league on the planet. No othet league compares.
dude is immature and the Knicks used it to their advantage
notice you didn’t mention Robinson with and elbow to Wemby’s head last night not called
BBM loves him some Ella!
I saw her in concert in February. She sounds exactly the same In person that she does on the radio

YES!!!!!!!!
Thank you officer! Though, I am usually rolling 80+ when someone won’t get over and they are going the speed limit. Still pisses me off when they take 10 min just to pass a semi.

Have you run into Marjorie Taylor-Greene in Costa Rica by chance? Inquisitive minds would like to know! LOL 😉
I sense that was taken the wrong way. MTG recently moved to Costa Rica, as I understand… and I’m CERTAIN our guy Krishna would have words for her, should he happen to see her down there!
Hence the winky face: 😉
Nice write, Mike E!
IMO, we’re one more WR (plus Chris Bell getting healthy) away from really becoming a fantastic Offense.
I keep going back to what BBM thought with his first mock draft of ’27 (Haha! Waaaay too early, but I love it!): if Malik Willis IS the REAL DEAL, to be able to land WR Jeremiah Smith, OSU, in the 1st round next Draft would be WOW!!!
To have a healthy Chris Bell on one side and Jeremiah Smith on the other? BOOM!!!
We’ve got lots of middling WRs who are quite dynamic (may the best men win), but I’d sign up in a heartbeat for Chris Bell and Jeremiah Smith as our boundary WRs.
PS: I think Malik Washington is a KEEPER, regardless.
Knicks used it to their advantage? Which advantage would that be? I’m not going to drag this shit on any longer than it has been already. If they called things by the letter like they did against the Knicks, Wemby would have been suspended after the 3 point shot where he was in Brunson’s landing spot. There’s no if’s, and’s or but’s. That would have been the 4th technical, and believe me, they could easily have decided to call a technical foul when he went to kick OG from behind but missed. The intent was there, and whether he hit or not doesn’t matter. You wanna give love to the skinny cunt, go right ahead.
I wish I had the same enthusiasm as you regarding the NBA. I had, once upon a time… the early 2000s Sacramento Kings.
After the 2002 West Coast finals between the Lakers and the Kings, I realized just how BULLSHIT the NBA had become.
HAPPY for your Knicks, Brother! I just can’t get into the NBA any longer, man.
My original NBA hero is Dominique Wilkins.
Thanks M – I could dig Jeremiah Smith unless there’s a QB or EDGE rusher that looks like the real deal. We’ll have to see where we’re drafting next year and then we’ll have a better idea of what we need more. If Malik Willis isn’t it, and maybe Ewers isn’t either, you can bet we’re going QB
Hopefully, one of them is, or maybe even both!
That’s the thing about next draft. If you are picking in the top 5, there are a couple “elite” players at their positions you could chose from. I wouldn’t classify any of the QB’s as elite at their position but you should take the most promising one there if you need one.
Edge Colin Simmons, Texas is one to watch and could be an elite prospect there. He is a smaller edge but had 12.5 sacks and is very good vs the run.
CB Leonard Moore, ND looks to be better than any CB in this past draft class.
WR Jeremiah Smith, OSU enough said
Then there are the QB’s to look at.
I just think this next draft could have some “elite” players this last draft didn’t. That and potentially deep QB class.
This is why I have been leaning taking an elite talent 1st in 2027 then a QB in the 2nd round (if we are picking in the top 5). Maybe Manning or Moore ups their game and become that elite talent but I didn’t see it last year. Maybe Julian Sayin, who I think is the best college QB right now, grows another inch but I doubt that either. lol
Bri – are you going to go to the parade?
I’m strongly considering it
Krishna,
Wemby had a Level 2 technical against OKC, one against the Knicks, one that wasn’t called and somehow the league didn’t deem it a technical (they want him in the Finals). He almost certainly would have gotten a technical last night for invading the shooters space- the refs missed it, but I have a hard time believing that the league wouldn’t have looked at it and called it another level, one technical . That means if there was a game six he probably would’ve been suspended because he would’ve had a total of four points. There was also another play against OG where he pretty much jumped at his knee. I don’t know if he’s dirty, but he’s definitely young and immature and once his emotions get the best of him.
The reason I am taking Jeremiah Smith, 6’3, 223, projected 4.32 forty is he is a rare size/speed elite talent. Right now, he is the best player in college football. Why not?
Especially when all the potential QB’s (again, right now) look relatively equal through the top 7 in Sayin, Manning, Moore, Carr, Mensah, Lindsey and Mestemaker. IMO, Sayin is the best at playing QB but he is only 6’1 and the rest of that top 7 are 6’3 or more.
I didn’t think anybody even cared about the NBA anymore. Do they still dribble? Can they take 5 steps on a layup now?
Sure seems like they can. This “Eurostep” bullshitbis absolutely ridiculous
Kevin McHale, when he coached the Rockets was talking about the Euro step, he said by definition its traveling (well duh)
in Europe BB you can take 2 steps, American BB only 1.5, so obviously traveling
Bri – I watched the Knicks game with my friends I grew up with. One of them went with me to the 1984 Playoffs when we faced the Detroit Pistons and we went to every home playoff game. This was the Knicks team with Bernard King with his fingers taped up and a bad coke habit but he was pouring in 40-50 points a game. That was Bill Laimbeer’s Pistons. Then we faced the Celtics with Larry Bird. We were 21 year old kids, we didn’t have money. We sat like 30 rows up behind one of the baskets, we bought a playoff package that probably cost around $30 per game. Last night I coined the phrase “Skinny Cunt” for Wembanyama and he will forever be known by my group of friends as the “Skinny Cunt”. 🤣
after high school I played in an outdoor mens league in Miami. One game against our former high schools BB team (guys a couple yrs older), we kicked their asses in the first half, then at halftime they did lines under their basket and blew us out 2nd half
these fuckers were so wired, we couldn’t keep up
Krishna – or anyone else defending the “Skinny Cunt ” Wembanyama.
https://x.com/i/status/2066205056806871241
Like I said yesterday, he’s blatant. He’s worse than Draymond Green or Laimbeer ever was. He’s going to piss off the wrong person and he will get taken out in retaliation.
Dramond is an agitator, Wemby is the one everyone is poking all game long and can’t keep his composure
he’s immature, guys get under his skin too easily
what I want to know is why everyone NHL team that has any red in their jersey yells out red, during the national anthem? Toba?
I saw her in concert in February. She sounds exactly the same In person that she does on the radio
—–
BBM is jealous
Anyone seen or going to see “Disclosure Day”?
BBMike- I don’t give a fuck whether he’s blatant, immature or otherwise, just don’t tell me he’s not dirty. I can’t wait to see some player kick the living fuck out of him. He’ll deserve the beating he gets, face of his team or the NBA, he’ll deserve it
🤣🤣🤣
I agree, he’s dirty as fuck
Steve – so you think the Knicks were coked up in the 2nd half of each game? Bernard King doesn’t play for us anymore. lol
have no idea, was referring to Bernard King, he sure played like it
he had back to back 50 point games in 1984 (I think)
Mike,
Did you see that play in Game 4 where he was pushed a little, then jumped at OG’s knee? Fuck him, I hope he never wins a championship
Of course I saw it, it’s in the video link I put up. I also put up a different link with that the other day. He’s not a good guy, he’s a dirty skinny cunt
Steve – Bernard King was absolutely coked up. He was unbelievable during that playoff run. They beat the Pistons and then lost to the Celtics in 7. They won every home game though. We saw some great basketball!
for BB its similar to guys taking steroids in baseball
Steve – I’ve seen players that look like they’re playing “Mother may I?”. Some if these fuckers doing the Eurostep take what looks like 4 or 5 steps, and that includes Brunson
Google it, there’s several videos showing 6 or 7 steps not called
when I played, I can’t remember 1 game, where they didn’t call traveling for someone moving both feet (usually at 3 pt line)
can’t remember the last time I saw that called in nba
I agree Steve, the Eurostep is ridiculous. I’ve seen Brunson take what looks like 5-6 steps
how quick you guys are to forget some of the bully cheap shot teams the Knicks have had over the years
I rooted for those Knicks teams mostly
Steve – the Knicks team you’re talking about was not so different than the Heat team they faced. They had some wars. It was a totally different era if basketball though, it was a much more physical game. Hey, I don’t mind physical play, just don’t be dirty. Wemby hides behind the refs and the league because they protect him. The NBA should let him face the music and get what he deserves
difference is Wemby doesn’t do it as a tactic
he 100% does
what I want to know is why everyone NHL team that has any red in their jersey yells out red, during the national anthem? Toba?
Steve: I hadn’t noticed RED being yelled out , in all honesty I stopped watching Carolina after game 2 against Montreal as it seemed every time I watched (game 1) they lost , or I tuned in as they were up , then blew the lead .. it seemed I was cursing them when I wanted them to win , dumb but I seems to be working.. I think the shout outs during anthems started with Winnipeg (True North) which is the parent company that owns the Jets , or possibly Dallas (stars)…. Those are the two I recall earliest
ever since AI has become so prominent predictive text has just gone stupid .. or is it just me ?
Steve,
I don’t forget at all- Ewing , Mason, Oakley.Loved those teams . Like Mike said, that was a completely different league back then. It’s like comparing today’s NFL to the NFL in the 90s.
Mike, I agree. We have vets at WR who can play the game and not embarrass ourselves but if young players step up you go with that flow. TE is going to be a big deal. Run the football and utilize your strength which I think will morph into a very different ball control offense.
Chop has always struggled once a player gets their hands on him. He looks and performs best when he’s running free. That’s why a Wide 9 benefits him. It also creates loops/games where you can try to get him free runs. The other side is it opens up things for offenses.
If he is going to take a step up, he has got to find a way to disengage. It might be his hands. It might be something else, but he’s gotta get better at winning after contact. Smart OL will adjust to just speed.
Hopefully the added muscle will help with disengaging.
Miami Dolphins
SIGNINGS
ROSTER CUTS
Reports were Kion Smith was getting beat too often in OTA’s.
This also puts us a little thin at OG with only Josh Priebe backing up Proctor and DJ Campbell backing up Jonah. Maybe they sign another OL. Though, Salyer can backup at OG and so can UDFA Jim Bonifas.
I did not see this. Damn!
Patrick Mahomes signed a 8 year, $504,750,000 renegotiated contract with the Kansas City Chiefs, including $397,000,000 guaranteed, and an average annual salary of $63,093,750.
2026 cap hit $34,653,888
2027 cap hit $90,353,888
2028 cap hit $85,839,000
The contract runs through 2033.
Releasing 2 and signing 1 they got an open roster spot.
@JamesLarsenPFN
NEWS: The Miami #Dolphins are signing Houston #Gamblers safety Major Burns, per league source. Burns earned All-#UFL honors in 2026, posting 47 tackles, 4 PBU’s, & 4 INT’s in nine games played. Had a stellar 90.1 Defensive Grade, via PFF. Well deserved opportunity.
@JamesLarsenPFN
An absolute no-brainer, Major Burns was arguably the top offseason addition defensively by any team in the #UFL this year. Major proved this season that he’s more than just a tackler, he can get after the football (4 picks, should’ve been 6 w/o penalties). #Dolphins with a tremendous pickup. So happy for this kid.
6’2″, 207 pounds
@MathBomb
Major Burns went undrafted as a SS in the 2025 draft class. He scored a 8.23 #RAS out of a possible 10.00. This ranked 220 out of 1236 SS from 1987 to 2025. UDFA #Bears http://ras.football/ras-information/?PlayerID=27538&pos=&wu=&ovl=Bears
I really hope his middle name is Frank
It would be funny if we drafted a Safety from Iowa with the last name Pierce.
That would give new meaning to a football team playing with a MASH unit.
Indeed! LOL
Whew, just confirmed Artie Burns is NOT related to our Major Burns.
Everyone seems to be in agreement that it was a major signing
Quick video of Major Burns with an INT last season in the UFL.
And last but not least (surprised it took research to learn this), Major just turned 24 years old on May 22nd. Not too young, not too old.
College Football Reference listed Major at 178 pounds. Dude has been chasing his dreams, muscling up to his current 207 pounds.
This guy may have “IT”. Hoping he’s another Cam Wake-esque player.
I foresee major Burns on the field on our defense this season
I’m still mystified as to why we didn’t do MORE to improve our pass-rush this offseason, particularly via the Draft.
It’s all good, though: I’ll be patient for this rebuild… but my patience is running thinner by the year/decades.

Reports are that Brendon Sorsby will enter the Supplemental Draft.
Could be. I would still offer maybe a 3rd.
He is a talented QB
I don’t see him as a franchise QB, something is missing
Someone is going to give a high 2nd for him, maybe Cardinals or Jets. If not, I don’t think he gets past the Eagles 2nd round pick. Rumblings are Eagles are getting fed up with Jalen Hurts and were going to draft his replacement next year anyway.
Maybe not an early 1st but I think he is a 1st round talent outside the gambling issue.
good to know, let’s offer the Eagles a 3rd for Hurts
Good! We are team building and don’t need to give up picks for a problem child…lol
PFF put out an “All-PFF Team” for each team using the best players by their matrices for each team. Here is who they picked for the Dolphins going back to 2006
Offense
RT: Vernon Carey (2006-2011)
QB: Ryan Tannehill (2012-2018)
HB: De’Von Achane (2023-2025)
WR: Tyreek Hill (2022-2025)
WR: Jaylen Waddle (2021-2025)
Slot WR: Jarvis Landry (2014-2017)
TE: Anthony Fasano (2008-2012, 2017)
TE: Mike Gesicki (2018-2022)
LT: Jake Long (2008-2012)
LG: Richie Incognito (2010-2013)
C: Mike Pouncey (2011-2017)
RG: Robert Hunt (2020-2023)
Defense
Mike Pouncey made it in over Brewer because Brewer has only one good year with us so far.
WR Erik Ezukanma signed with Philadelphia, NFL Network Insiders Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero reported Tuesday. Ezukanma, a former fourth-round pick of the Dolphins, most recently played for the UFL’s DC Defenders. In five games for Miami from 2022-24, Ezukanma tallied six touches for 25 yards.
As it turned out, it wasn’t so easy for EZE.
good to know, let’s offer the Eagles a 3rd for Hurts
——-
No fricking way. He has turned into a diva since winning the SB. He’s lost the locker room. Eagles are regretting the contract they gave him.
I don’t see him as a franchise QB, something is missing.
——
He would not be my top prospect in the next draft but in the top 5. They all have something missing.
There are a lot of successful NFL QB’s who seemed to be “missing something” but after a few years turned out good. You don’t really know until they get to the NFL.
The Josh Allen pick was criticized because he had no deep accuracy…
Staying healthy seemed to be Burns biggest issue. Hopefully the bug is gone and he works his body the correct way to keep it gone.
I just read an article by an imbecile that says, roughly, that Baltimore does not want to pay Lamar Jackson again so of course, the Miami Dolphins should trade for him. He went on to say that Jackson is one of the best QB’s in the league and will be expensive, probably multiple 1st round picks.
FFS!! I started by saying the dude was an imbecile, but what a maroon! Yeah, let’s give up multiple 1st round picks for a 30 year old QB WHO WILL STILL WANT TO BE PAID LIKE MAHOMES! What the fuck is wrong with people?
I mean, I clicked the bait, so what is wrong with me!?
Sounds like something Brian Miller would write about. lol
When you are bored at work, you are allowed to click on stupid articles. I do it working nights but just don’t share. lol
“Dolphins OTAs proved one forgotten veteran player still belongs”
That is the title of an article Brian Miller wrote 3 days ago. Any guesses who he was righting about?
If you guessed the offensive lineman that they cut the next day would you call that ironic, or just that Brian Miller is such a hack?
He was writing about Kion Smith. LOL
“Smith is important to the Dolphins this year.” – Brian Miller
LOL – He was important – They want to give him a chance to catch on with another team. lol
LOL
Just like in one of his last articles where he said Ollie Gordon “really impressed” last season with his 2.8 yards per carry and 4.6 yards per reception.
We’re not going to draft Brendan Sorsby in the Supplemental Draft.
Why? Sully and Haf won’t bring in a distraction, year one of a rebuild. It wouldn’t make any kind of sense whatsoever.
Even if it only cost us a 5th rounder (trust, he’ll go earlier than a 5th rounder to somebody), it would bring so much controversy to a team just trying to rebuild the proper way.
What’s more, we’ve already invested in Malik Willis, and Quinn Ewers is gaining much respect from the new coaching staff already.
We’re certainly not trying to replicate the QB controversies going on in Cleveland, for crying out loud.
I don’t think Sorsby would be a distraction. It would be just like drafting a QB next year.
That said, I don’t think we even make a bid for him. However, we do have a roster spot open that has not been filled yet, though, it’s only been 2 days.
Miami Dolphins
INJURIES
OT Carter Warren reverted to the team’s injured reserve list after he was waive/injured. Warren does not count against the team’s 90-man roster limit.
I don’t think we need another QB this year. It’s the perfect time to take a good look at Willis and Ewers. Then next season we’ll know where we stand.
I may be wrong about Malik, IDK. What I’m not wrong about is, he can do it all, a 5-tool QB and the reason I’m so high on him. I like rooting for the guys with the high ceilings
he’s done it so far, on a limited basis. Can he do it consistently throughout a season? We’ll see
For him it’s about the finer points of passing. Does he diagnose the best option and hit the target consistently. He has the improv skills to change games.
I’ve seen the Kurt Warner and other expert videos about him taking the best option. I think its all bullshit
you don’t have to take the best option, you just have to get first downs. The best option is debatable, if he takes the easy play and gets a first down instead of throwing deep into single coverage it may be better, because the percentage of conversion may be much higher
you have to throw deep at times to keep the D honest at times too, but not every time its single coverage
FINAL POST
We are having a Microsoft Teams Meeting this evening at 8PM to select where we (those who wish to) will sit for the Fest this season. The meeting can only last 60 minutes (Because I didn’t pay the subscription) so please be on time promptly at 8PM.
https://teams.microsoft.com/meet/283211692471687?p=JtB5uWb0on6epVf0sJ
The link above will give you access to the meeting.
I will be able to pull up the seating chart on the screen and scroll around the stadium to see what the prices are and how many seats are available in each section. Then you all will be on your own to purchase the tickets (I am hoping right then from your individual computers) so they don’t get sold out from under us.
See you guys at 8PM!
8pm EASTERN TIME
I guess I kind of knew this, but it’s crazy.
There are only five players left on the roster who’ve been in Miami for more than three years: defensive tackle Zach Sieler, offensive tackle Austin Jackson, running back De’Von Achane, EDGE defender Cameron Goode, and cornerback Ethan Bonner.
a result of trading draft picks for expensive stars, salary cap issues and regime change
you wanna change the culture change the HC and a large % of players
All the one year rentals also.
We are a very young team with some talented vets. For me watching the new regime go from 90 to 53 is fun for me. This is our team! And none of us really know what it’s going to look like until we play 4-5 games.
Chris Bell at some point becomes a big deal.
*WE HOPE Chris Bell at some point becomes a big deal.
What I mean is that he went in the 3rd round for a reason (ACL tear). I WANT to automatically assume that he’s going to be an instant Pro-Bowler once healthy, but we shall see.
I’m cautiously optimistic, but to make auto assumptions is reckless.
Okay lol
i’m going to hit start on the meeting in a couple minutes
OK bitches
Section 231 row three and row four
if you wanna sit around where we’re at that’s where we’re at
Lol…and here it is at 7:09 my time and somehow it’s 8:40 your time….WTF…
I’m terrible at time zones when traveling….lol
MikeE and I took seats at row 3 seats 7,8,9&10
Herd took seats at row 4 seats 10, 11, 12 &14
There are still seats available this morning row 3 seats 1,2,3 & 4 as well as 14, 15, 16 & 17.
there are also 11 seats available in row 6 and 8 available in row 10
Hmmm…I thought I had one…lol
Per Sorsby’s agent the Browns, Jets, Steelers, Eagles, Buccaneers and Texas have reached out for information on the player. Inquiries were more football related then about the gambling issue.
HEY MIKE E
CHECK YOUR TEXT MESSAGES. I want to send you your tickets, but I need some of your information verified.
Miami signed All-UFL offensive lineman OT/OG Gottlieb Ayedze, adding versatile depth after waiving Kion Smith and seeking OL upgrades.
Ayedze, 26, played collegiately at Frostburg State from 2019-22, earning All-MEC honors thrice, and at Maryland in 2023. He went undrafted in 2024 before splitting the 2024 season between the Philadelphia Eagles and Las Vegas Raiders.
After sitting out the 2025 season, Ayedze joined the UFL’s DC Defenders in January, but the team traded him to the Houston Gamblers in March for former Dolphins wide receiver Braylon Sanders.
Ayedze appeared in 10 games for the Gambles and earned All-UFL honors.
camp fodder. If he makes the 53 I will be amazed.
Agree. Could be brought back on PS if he does well and shows potential.
Hey Herd!
I remember that you were not always a Dophins fan and followed Pennington from the Thundering Herd. Who do you have coming with you to the game? They aren’t Bengals fans are they? LOL Who are you bringing? Are they anything like Boulder’s friends? 😉
Follow up question: When you had the opportunity to NOT be a Dolphins fan, after Pennington retired, why did you continue? 🤣🤣
You had an easy out!! But you chose to keep suffering with the rest of us.
I was invested by that point. I don’t have a better explanation. 😂
Was I on mute last night?!?! 🤦🏼♀️
All this information was conveyed. But I will repeat. My daughter and son in law are coming, he is a Bengals fan. She really doesn’t care.

Seriously, and I wasn’t trying to be a dick… not to you, nor to the organization. I honestly share your optimism on Chris Bell as much as anybody! I’m just sayin’, I’m no longer counting my chickens before they’ve hatched.
We’ve been ‘in this game’ long enough to realize that all that glitters ain’t gold.
Here’s where I’m currently: WE’LL SEE WHAT HAPPENS.
Hope for the best, prepare for the worst… much like this whole Iran MOU.
IF Chris Bell emerges, that’s going to put us in an outstanding position for ’27, man! That’s my HOPE!

Yessir! We’re DEFINITELY in the doldrums, man… and it SUCKS!
Rockphin, Mike E, et al. …
While I have many weeks of vacation, I must submit as much before the turn of the new year (BIG CORP). That makes it impossible for me to predict — many months in advance — what our schedule will even look like… much less when the FEST date gets agreed upon.
ONE of these years (VERY soon! None of us are getting any younger!), I’m just going to have to make things happen in order to attend.
I cannot make the FEST this season, AGAIN, and regrettably.
figured Herd would have a Bengals fan, they’re in their market. Usually a Bengals fan is a Reds fan so he’ll be cool.I’m still trying to figure out who’s going this year in my group and then I’ll get close to your section.Rock, Herd stayed a Fins fan because of the bloggers how could she ever leave us she became one of us very quickly
I was listening to WQAM and Mike Florio was on. He thinks that it’s possible that a contending team without a star QB makes a 2nd RD or possible even a 1st RD bid for Sorsby. I don’t really see us as players in all this. We have to see what Malik Willis is and we also have Quinn Ewers. I’d say the timing of this is completely against us. If the Supplemental Draft was after the season then we might have gone all in, but for a team trying to rebuild, I just don’t see us as legit participants.
OK
I JUST BOOKED MY HOTEL STAY FOR THE FEST.
STAYING AT THE RIPTIDE THURSDAY, FRIDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHTS.
HERD! IF YOU PLAN ON STAYING AT THE RIPTIDE AGAIN THIS YEAR YOU BETTER BOOK IT SOON. THEY DIDN’T HAVE MANY ROOMS LEFT WHEN I BOOKED MINE.
SEE YOU AT THE TIKI BAR!
OMG! I mentioned on teams meeting, planning to stay just down the street at Marriott, just a short walk from tiki bar. 🤣
You MUST have been muted! LOL I know we heard you for portions of the meeting. That is bizarre. Well, I’m glad I didn’t steal your room. LOL
MF13,
I have a similar problem that I have to ask for my vacation at least 6 weeks in advance, but I don’t know what the hell will be on my schedule 6 weeks from now!
I can only request the time off and when it gets close and the work load doesn’t seem like I will be able to take off, fight with the bosses at that time.
I typically get myself a nice 3-$5K bonus when I have to, but that doesn’t make up for not being able to take item off ALL YEAR. Sure the extra 10-15K per year is nice, but it causes major burn out and resentment.
You should just plan on taking the time, discuss it with your bosses or partners and just keep hammering it into their heads that YOU WILL BE GONE 4-5 days.
Damn, if you are so important that they can’t live without you for 4-5 days then a HUGE pay increase is in order, don’t you think? LOL
Anyway, hope to meet you one day.
Thank you kindly for the words, Rockphin… I appreciate it!
Yes, I hope to meet you one day as well… and all the rest of y’all, too.
MikeE, in 2027, the Jets have 3 first round picks and their second round pick may be a high one also. I think the Jets will take Sorsby with one of those top 4 picks. They won’t use their top pick and will use that instead on Jeremiah Smith, Leonard Moore or one of the top edges.
That makes sense, I can see the Jets being aggressive if they think they can work with Sorsby. He’s definitely more of a risk though than some of these other guys. Not physically, but whether you trust he can get past the gambling issues. Remember QB Art Schlichter?
Yep! I like Sorsby’s game, but I just get a bad vibe about him now this all came out.
NEVER!
NEVER WILL I BUY TICKETS THROUGH TICKET MASTER AGAIN!
If our guys felt confident that this Sorsby kid wasn’t gonna present an issue, why wouldn’t you use a 2-3 round pick to get him? Athletes gamble constantly, this is more attention, but as long as he was never betting against his own boys his future teammates probably just shrug.
Again, if he’s not an addict, a good PR team turns the attention into a positive. 9000+ bets over a 2 year period would make me have questions, but I watch people at bars spend shit loads of money to tap on a little IPad thing for hours. Isn’t online betting pretty much that easy? A few taps?
Randy, that is like 12 bets per day…
That is an addiction. He has admitted himself to a treatment system.
I don’t know if he bet against his team, but he definitely bet on the games he played in. That has been reported.
I would throw a 3rd round pick in the bag and see if it is enough.
I look at it this way. Grier threw away so many 3rd round picks to move up for trash players, that “wasting” a third round pick on a potential franchise QB is worth the risk.
Possibly. There seems to be some thoughts though that some team will give up a 2nd or possibly even a first, and the teams that make that make those bids will be in tiers. The teams with 6 or less wins is Tier 1, then 7 wins and no playoffs is Tier 2, and then up and up. Once the bids are made, Tier one teams will have a lottery if there are any and so on and so on. Each Tier will have their order after the lottery to see who gets first dibs. Not sure how accurate that info is though
yeah, I’m aware of how it works
We would be at the top of the second tier
After 10 other teams this year
it’s a sealed Bid you put it in beforehand it is not alive draft
Then the league puts them in order and awards the player to the highest Bid.
M13, Bell is ahead of schedule in rehab and he’s a self motivated individual. He likely won’t play until the 2nd half of the season but he has elite ability. It also gives the team time to evaluate others moving forward.
Did you not hear what M13 said! You have to wait and see you fuck! LOL
It doesn’t matter so much what he does this year really. I think he’s going to be a very good player, but if it doesn’t happen this season, and he’s completely healthy next season, all is well
Tim seems to be desperate to ruin our draft position next year
😆
Tankathon has us picking 1st overall next year. They have their 2 round mock up and have us taking QB Arch Manning #1 and DT Will Echols at #33.
That would be a very good start to the next draft. Hoping that Manning improves on his passing game.
Echols 6’3, 315, might be my favorite DT in the next draft. He’s quick off the snap and can play anywhere on the DL.
Or Moten from Miami
I’m not sure who would have been available at 33 but pass rush is probably still going to be a huge need. We are “hoping” (there’s that dirty four letter word again, hope) that the THREE DT’s we took last year step up.

I’m 100% WITH ya on the potential Bell possesses. Pretty sure I’ve already called him the steal of the Draft.
HOWEVER(!)… we’re a jinxed franchise, man! Whether it be through the Draft with DeVante Parker or Jaylen Waddle… or via FA with Mike Wallace, Brandon Marshall, or ‘Reek… we just can’t win a playoff game.
I don’t want to jinx Chris Bell, LOL! 😉
Pigster,
Do NOT… I REPEAT… do NOT buy a Chris Bell jersey!!! 😉
Okay that seemed a little extreme. I didn’t say he’ll be a HOF player geez!
I can’t see us finishing dead last next year, but I wouldn’t hate it. I think we have 4-5 wins. Sorsby makes me nervous; QBs are a crap shoot (pun intended) to begin with, now throw in the gambling addiction and I don’t know. MAYBE for a fourth rounder. A good friend of mine has a pretty serious gambling addiction and has lost a shit ton of money over the years.If Sorsby bet as much as is reported, then he definitely has an addiction.
I’m at a 3rd but with that we won’t get Sorsby. There will be some equally or slightly more talented QB’s in the draft next year.
I don’t see us finishing dead last either.
I think we end up picking anywhere from 3rd to 7th.
Five wins would put us picking around 6th or 7th based on this past draft.
I don’t think we will be picking first either.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The Tennessee Titans have agreed to a three-year contract extension with defensive lineman Jeffery Simmons, his agents told ESPN’s Adam Schefter and NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo.
The deal is 3 years and worth $105.8 million, 35.2 million per year average with $100 million guaranteed.
It’s got to be tough for a GM to build a team if you have more than a couple top 5 players on your team.
You rarely see an extension where 95% of the contract is guaranteed.
Don’t know who she is. This just popped up on my feed but Sophie Cunningham could get me interested in the WNBA.
gambling is like sex, lots of it on one side is praised, the other is frowned upon
Yet the NFL promotes it. Last year, it’s estimated the NFL generated 30 billion in betting volume.
Though, I read an article 2 months ago that this is the first year that none of the major sportsbook sponsor’s renewed with the NFL. The reason being, the NFL made Genius their official data streaming service for the next 4 seasons. Genius then made a big increase in the price for their streaming data to the point none of the gambling sites wanted to pay it.
More greed by the NFL as they are the largest shareholder in Genius. Looks like this one backfired on them.
he’s a playmaker at all 3 levels, going to be fun to watch
I bet he’s more impactful than Rodriguez this year
what’s the u/o on Rodriguez forced fumbles? I’d say 4.5 and Ill take the over
I will say the under. He is behind Brooks and Dodson. My guess he sees 40% snaps or less not counting ST.
In reference to Rodriguez
Just a hunch, I think Trader, Louis and Rodriquez play 50% of the snaps on defense at the minimum. Trey Moore and Michael Taffee provide depth and competition. They’ll play a bunch of snaps too.
Don’t forget about our new cat, Major Burns as well. I have a very good feeling about him.
Reagor, if he can stay healthy looks to be a keeper too

That’s a YUGE problem… something that will always make one question if the games are rigged due to betting/gambling.
Our society is collapsing right in front of our eyes, essentially emulating the fall of the Roman Empire.
Cakes and circuses… that’s something you can bet on. 😉
HELL NO to Sorsby, who would likely be in bed to such betting if it profited him.
I think the NFL WANTS Sorsby to become somebody… just sayin’…
is it possible for anyone to be more of a maroon? Just the title alone.

Don’t know why so many of y’all read Phin Phanatic. And this Brian Miller seems to be a 3rd-rate writer.
Just sayin’…
its something to read
“I feel like once I get that momentum, get to moving downhill, it’s not hard to get a yard or 2, maybe 3.”
——–
“a yard or 2, maybe 3” and Brian Miller thinks that is good, what a moron
my slam dunk breakout player is Greg Dulcich. I think its a given he gets 600+ yards and 5 tds, anything more depends on the sutuation
he runs hard, with urgency, doesn’t look to run OB, is smart to find open space, tough guy…
on 3rd downs early in the season, it will be Dulcich and Malik Washington as tge favorite targets. 1st and 2nd downs is where Tutu should be doing most of his work. Tolbert I have no idea. Douglas will have more impact early run blocking. Bell is tge wildcard, if healthy enough to play at some pt in the first 6 games it’ll change everything
my biggest concern with us making it to being middle of the pack, that I can’t seem to get off of, is the schedule, if it doesn’t turn out to be so daunting, this could be a fun, no expectation season
2019 having to play the Ravens week 1 set us back, don’t think the Raiders are capable of that
