Summary

Miami Dolphins face a pivotal decision with guard James Daniels, as his uncertain injury status raises pressing questions about roster strategy and salary cap management. Can the Dolphins justify Daniels’ $8 million price tag after potentially just three snaps this season? Kyle Crabbs explores Miami’s options, including contract scenarios that could free up vital resources ahead of a likely front office shakeup. The discussion shifts to Anthony Weaver’s revenge opportunity against the struggling New Orleans Saints, spotlighting defensive turnaround and young player development. Key insights cover potential IR activations for Austin Jackson and Darren Waller, the possible roster crunch at tight end and edge, and how Miami’s personnel moves could shape their playoff push. Will the Dolphins leverage their healthy roster for a late-season surge, or does the James Daniels saga signal deeper challenges for the team’s future?
