You heard Jerry earlier mentioned the Jalen Wattle trade to the Denver Broncos, which of course is going to make their offense more potent, you would imagine.

0:10.1

But this Miami Dolphins team is really going through a massive rebuild.

0:15.1

Of course, firing the coach getting rid of Tua.

0:17.4

They did sign Malik Willis.

0:18.9

Maybe it's because they had to hit a salary cap floor for some reason, but they got a bunch

0:22.6

of dead money on the cap with Tyreek Hill and others. I just, if you're going to go full tank, go full tank. But they bring in a guy that. Seems like they are. Yeah, but signing Malik Willis doesn't go along with that, though. That's the thing. And maybe, I don't know, that's a smokescreen.

0:37.8

Maybe Jeff Halfley's like, yeah, let's go sign Malik Willis because he stinks,

0:40.6

and then we'll get the number one overall pick. But that's what they're trying to do. And you see 10 NBA teams right now that aren't trying to win to get one of the top three picks in this upcoming NBA draft. I think you're going to see many, many teams in the NFL, try maybe early on to win,

1:01.0

but then when they realize that they can't, you're going to see decisions made by management

1:05.1

that says, all right, we're going to put our team in the best chance to lose,

1:08.9

and they're going to want to get to the top of this draft where

1:11.3

you're going to have more quarterbacks than you had this year. And the Dolphins are going to be

1:14.9

one of those teams. Well, I'll tell you what, it took Denver Broncos not that long to get out

1:20.0

from underneath Russell Wilson and that mess with Nathaniel Hackett and everything else that

1:24.2

was going on there. And Sean Payton is going all in right now. And they're doing that before they have to pay Bo Nix. That's what they're doing. And, you know, they are right in the mix. They are right there as one of the top teams in the league. They have all their young stars signed, I believe, especially on defense. So I think they're going to be a really good team again this year.

1:46.6

And when I look at the Dolphins, they have $11 million of dead cap money.

1:51.1

So that's Tua, that's Bradley Chubb, that's Tyree Hill.

1:55.2

I don't know if Jalen Wattle factors into that at all with the trade, not sure.

2:00.6

So, I mean, it's amazing what they're doing. They're basically tearing it all the way down. And what they have to hope is they have to hope to do what Darren Mucci has done with the Jets over the last year. I mean, Darren Mucci's made a lot of moves. He's made a lot of trades. He's added a lot of assets into the draft.

2:18.5

I mean, obviously, he's got to make the right picks, bring the right players in here, and start

2:24.0

building this roster for whatever young quarterback that they're able to get their hands on,

2:28.4

either this year or next year.
