Latest free agency rumors surrounding the Dolphins

By: Jake Rajala

The Miami Dolphins have clearly pressed the pedal to the metal over the past week. Mike McDaniel has recently brought in the elite left tackle Terron Armstead and speed-demon wideout Tyreek Hill. I still believe McDaniel has some tricks up his sleeve and he will look to add a few more pieces to his puzzle. With that said, here are a few profiles that the Dolphins could look to add this offseason.

• Jadeveon Clowney

It’s hard to believe the Dolphins aren’t the favorite to ink Jadeveon Clowney at this point in time. Clowney (9 sacks in 2021) can join a very talented defense that had the ninth most takeaways last season. The Dolphins offense could even match or surpass the talent of the Phins defense with the NFL’s top WR trio (DeVante Parker, Hill, Waddle). Last but not least, Clowney can work hard in the beautiful Miami area.

• Ndamukong Suh

The Dolphins should aspire to sign the versatile, familar stud Ndamukong Suh on a short deal. If Suh doesn’t want to return to Tampa, he should join the loaded Dolphins team. Suh isn’t “washed up”, as he six sacks in 2021 and six sacks in 2020. He also has 16 TFLs in the past two seasons combined. Suh could be a pivotal x-factor against the Patriots and Bills time-chewing offenses.

• Anthony Barr

The former Vikings Pro Bowl LB Anthony Barr could be a flexible chess piece for Josh Boyer’s defense. Barr can play inside LB, OLB, and he can come off the edge on occasion. Barr had 3 interceptions and 2.5 sacks for the Vikings last season. According to NBC Sports, the Vikings are unlikely to re-sign Barr. He can be a better version of Kyle Van Noy for the Phins defense.

Honorable mention:

• Tyrann Mathieu

I don’t foresee the Dolphins signing Clowney and the Honey Badger, but they should look to strike gold with Clowney or Tyrann Mathieu. The former All-Pro Chiefs safety is apparently looking to get a very wealthy contract. The Dolphins recently cut ties with Allen Hurns and Jesse Davis, so they could surprise and pay the Honey Badger his due.
