Over the last few days we have spoken about whether or not the Dolphins should bring back Hartline and Wallace, and lastly today we will talk about the third receiver that the phins management will need to make a decision on; Brandon Gibson. Gibson was signed two years ago but suffered a season-ending ACL injury in the middle of his first season with the team. Heading into next season he will count $4.26 million against the cap.
Most free bookie software sites would say that this is probably the easiest decision of the three receivers in question. After the stellar performance by last year’s rookie Jarvis Landry, who came in and not only unseated Gibson for his starting slot position but became the number one receiver on the team, it will be hard to make a case for spending over $4 million on a player that could not even beat out a rookie
In addition, Gibson often had issues with dropped passes, and all he could muster on the season was 29 receptions for 295 yards, only 1 touchdown, and had 2 fumbles. Once again these are not the stats of a player that the Dolphins should spend over $4 million in valuable cap space on.

I would much rather see the Dolphins release Gibson and give Rishard Matthews more playing time because even though he barely received any playing time last year, he still made the most of his limited time with 2 touchdowns and an 11.3 average yards per catch. The issue with Matthews is that for whatever reason, Philbin and he have had problems with each other behind the scenes, so as a punishment Matthews gets limited playing time or has been left off the playing roster.
Lastly, there is a solid list of free-agent wide receivers that will hit the market this upcoming 2015 season, so if the Dolphins really want to make a splash they may decide to let Hartline, Wallace, and Gibson take a walk, and use the combined savings and go after a stud receiver like Dez Bryant, Demaryius Thomas or Jeremy Maclin. Even if Miami does not chase one of those big names there is still a solid list of other reliable receivers such as Michael Crabtree, Cecil Shorts, Torrey Smith, Reggie Wayne, Wes Welker, Hakeem Nicks, Miles Austin, Denarius Moore, and Randall Cobb. I would say any of these players would be an upgrade over at least Hartline and Gibson.
What does the rest of the phins fans think?
