Julius Thomas thrived in the Adam Gase offense while in Denver but was he the product of Gase’s offense or the mental acuity of Peyton Manning? His career in Denver led to a hefty free agent contract with the Jaguars that he came nowhere close to living up to.
The Dolphins have struggled to find a suitable option at tight-end for years now. While Charles Clay was good he was never great. Dion Sims made positive strides but his game never was as rounded as the Dolphins had hoped. Jordan Cameron simply couldn’t stay healthy.
