The Miami Dolphins are tearing down the team in an effort to rebuild the foundation and set the conditions for sustained success rather than trying to continually throw quick fixes at an aging roster. It has lead to players like Ryan Tannehill, Cameron Wake, Frank Gore, Robert Quinn, Danny Amendola, Ja’Wuan James, and Andre Branch being released, traded, or signing with another team in free agency.
Miami is clearing their salary cap issues from years of signing big name, and big money, free agents while setting the stage of a dramatic overhaul of the roster, with younger players growing together and, hopefully, jump starting a franchise mired in mediocrity.
