The Miami Dolphins' process of evaluating players has started a little earlier than they had hoped, but with the playoffs no longer in the picture, it's clear that changes will be made this offseason, if not before.
The season is almost over, and nothing the Dolphins do now will change that. Miami is once again in a familiar situation that hasn't gone well for them in the last 15 years. Stephen Ross has to decide on his next general manager; they need to be involved in deciding what happens to Mike McDaniel, which inevitably all trickles down to the players on the roster.
