The Phins didn’t play small ball in Free Agency

Whoa, Nelly! The Miami Dolphins dominated the opening day of Free Agency by spending over $202 million in FAs so far.

With all these big moves, you can bet with the pay per head bookie services like www.AcePerHead.com, Chris Grier and Brian Flores want the Phins to make some noise in the 2020 Season.

Rumors said that the Phins were looking to be movers and shakers in the 2020 Draft. Well, I don’t know if this will end up the case, but they certainly had been a prime player in Free Agency.

Things just became very interesting for the Phins upcoming season.

Will this ‘interesting’ turn bring excitement come the 2020 Postseason? The draft will go a long way in determining that. Still, Miami has added a ton of firepower to a lackluster squad.

The list of Free Agents in the Phins’ huge Day 1

6’3”, 250lbs DE / ILB Kyle Van Noy (age 29) signed a 4-year deal worth $51 million. Van Noy has been dependable missing only 1 game in his last two seasons. His 2019 PFF grade of 83.5 is backed by a stat line of 51 tackles with 4 for losses, 6.5 sacks, 3 forced fumbles, 2 fumble recoveries, and 2 passes defended.
6’0”, 205lbs CB Byron Jones (age 27) signed a 5-year deal worth $82 million making him the highest-paid corner in the league. Jones was ultra-healthy missing only one game in his career and posted a PFF grade of 76.1 in 2019. Despite the knock that he’s only nabbed two interceptions in his career, Jones is an excellent man/press player who can tackle.
6’3” 267lbs DE Shaq Lawson (age 26) signed a 3-year deal for $30 million. Lawson has had an inconsistent career and was a role player in 2019 for the Bills. Still, in limited duties he earned a PFF grade of 68.3 and notched 32 tackles, 6.5 sacks, 2 passes defended, and 1 forced fumble.
6’6” 334lbs G Erik Flowers (age 26) signed a 3-year deal worth $30 million. Failing at tackle, the massive Flowers moved to guard with the Redskins and had some success. In 2019 he posted a PFF grade of 68.3 allowing 2 sacks and committing a 16th best 6 penalties.
6’0” 205lbs S Clayton Fejedelem (age 27) signed a 3-year deal worth $8.55 million. Fejedelem has played spot roles as a depth player. In this role, he posted a 65.5 PFF grade last season.

Are the Phins done in Free Agency?

I don’t know if the Phins are done spending. They could be adding players as I write. What I do know is that so far, offensive tackle is now the prime missing piece. The Phins must be aiming to get one in their top two picks. I can see either Derrick Brown or an offensive tackle being the first pick. And certainly, if Brown is taken at #5, or after a small trade back, offensive Tackle must be their second pick! No?! Go Phins!!!
