Jeff Ireland effect still on the Miami Dolphins
The narrative surrounding today's Miami Dolphins is that with new general manager Dennis Hickey's draft and offseason acquisitions in 2014 and Hickey's and new executive vice president Mike Tannenbaum's draft and offseason acquisitions in 2015, the Dolphins are replenished with fresh talent from this braintrust.
In other words, the influence former general manager Jeff Ireland had on the roster has been removed. Some more unforgiving souls would contend the stench has dissipated.
That seemed more true than ever this offseason when practically every significant move Ireland made in 2013, his final offseason with the team, was undone.
Mike Wallace, signed in 2013, was traded.
