NFL 2018: One roster cut each team should make, but won’t
By Dan Parzych
Miami Dolphins: Brock Osweiler
One year after emerging as one of the biggest surprise contenders in the AFC, the Miami Dolphins were looking to pick up where they left off during the 2017 season after convincing Jay Cutler to come out of retirement. Instead, the Dolphins took a major step back last year while Cutler ended up being inconsistent for the most part, leaving the team with plenty to think about this offseason.
Going back to last offseason, the main reason why Miami brought Cutler on board was due to losing Ryan Tannehill early on with an injury that would keep him out for the entire season. And even though Tannehill is convinced he’s the answer for the long run, the former first-round pick needs to make sure he stays healthy first before jumping too far ahead.
As for the quarterbacks beyond Tannehill, did the Dolphins not learn anything from the Broncos and Texans over the last few years when it comes to how unreliable Osweiler can be at quarterback? If Miami wants insurance in case something were to happen to Tannehill again, Osweiler seems like far from the answer to keep this offense in great shape to a point where they may actually have a shot at the playoffs, even if it seems like a long shot at this point.
