The former Miami Dolphins players headed for the free agency this offseason

Miami dolphins have more than 27 players who should become free agents without restriction with the start of the new year of the league on March 12, And beyond, there are 27 others who played for the team.

The list of former dolphin players scheduled to become UFAS on March 12 includes the former first -round choice of Miami Noah Igbinoghene, fresh out of his first season with Washington commanders, as well as three old second round of Miami – DT Jordan Phillips (2015), LB Raekwon McMillan (2017) and LB Jerome Baker (2018).

The question is now whether the Dolphins would be interested in bringing one of these 27 players or, perhaps more important, if they should.

We decompose the list by position:

Quarterbacks – Jacoby Brissett, New England; Tim Boyle, Ny Giants; Teddy Bridgewater, Detroit

Analysis: it looks like a no all around here. Brissett has neither quick decision nor a lot of mobility. Bridgewater joined the Lions after completing his first season as a secondary coach and there is uncertainty on his future plans, and he was subject to injuries when he supported Tua Tagovailoa in 2022. As for Boyle, He obtained his shot last season and failed to deliver.

Running Backs – Samaje Perine, Kansas City; Chase Edmonds, Tampa Bay; Darrynton Evans, Chicago

Analysis: It also looks like a no all around. Running backs are generally fairly easy to find after erasing the upper level, so it is not very necessary to take the UFA route for one of them.

Large receptors – Mack Hollins, Buffalo; Trent Sherfield, Minnesota

Analysis: Hollins always attracts as much attention to his unique personality, as dressing like Fred Flintstone or Muppets on his arrival at the stadium, but he is a precious contributor to special teams which is a good deep player with a wide receiver . It would make sense at the right price. Sherfield was the third wide receiver of the team in 2022, but then left for a free agency and it is difficult to consider a quick return.

Ends tight – Mike Gesicki, Cincinnati; Hunter Long, Rams

Analysis: We probably don’t need to discuss these players for a very long time. Gesicki was a man forgotten in his last season in Miami despite playing on the tag of the franchise, and Long did not make much impression in his short time with the dolphins, although he helped to Call on Jalen Ramsey in this profession with Rams.

Offensive lines – Geron Christian, Cleveland; Evan Brown, Arizona; Michael Deiter, Washington

Analysis: What dolphins should look for on the offensive line in free agency is a starting goalkeeper, not depth parts

The lines of the defending – Jordan Phillips, Buffalo; John Jenkins, Las Vegas; Adam Butler, Las Vegas

Analysis: These are three older players who would probably work best as rescue players. The dolphins have signed Jenkins as a free agent of another team twice, although we think that that third time is probably in the long term.

Singlers of seconds – Jerome Baker, Tennessee; Neville Hewitt, Houston; Kamu Grugier-Hill, Minnesota; Raekwon McMillan, Tennessee; Sam Eguavoen, Ny Jets; Elandon Roberts, Pittsburgh

Analysis: Hewitt, Grugier-Hill and Eguavoen are all players who could help special teams at a reasonable cost. Baker had a forgetable year between two teams after being released for CAP considerations. Roberts was good in Pittsburgh, but is not a good choice for the type of defense that dolphins now use, which emphasizes speed to the second. One of the three guys from the special teams could be added to fulfill the role of Duke Riley.

Defensive backs – CB Noah igbinoghene, Washington; S Adrian Colbert, Chicago; CB Eli Apple, the loaders; S Marcus Maye, the chargeers

Analysis: Igbinoghene is clearly the big name here, but the best supposition is that he will end up re-signing with the commanders after taking advantage of a break season in 2024. None of the three other figures to arouse a lot of interest for the free agency.

Specialists – P Michael Palardy, Arizona

Analysis: There is no reason to think that the Dolphins will plan to bring it back.
