NFL Free Agency Week 2 and Potential Free Agent Fits for Miami

Welcome to the official first episode of "The Phins Factor" With Mannie & Marisa Marino. In this episode, we go over the recent additions the Miami Dolphins have brought in and what remaining holes we would like to see them address during the remaining weeks leading up to the NFL DRAFT.

Is Miami About to Acquire Brandon Aiyuk or Tee Higgins?

On today’s DolphinsTalk.com Podcast, Mike is flying solo, talking about all of today's news and rumors in the world of the Miami Dolphins. First, Mike starts the show by discussing the details of Bradley Chubb's restructured contract, how much money was opened up on the salary cap for the Dolphins, and what this means for Chubb's status with the team beyond this upcoming season. He then speculates on what that money may be used for. Is Miami looking to transfer some of that money to lock up Jaylen Waddle, Jevon Holland, and Jaelan Phillips on long-term deals? Or, as some reports out there are speculating, is Miami on the verge of making a bold move in acquiring a player who isn't a vet minimum type of signing for little money and someone who would cost significantly more? Maybe a trade for Tee Higgins? Or a trade for Bandon Aiyuk? Out of Aiyuk or Higgins, which one is more likely? And if so, what are some options? Mike then closes the show, discussing the latest mock drafts by Mel Kiper and Daniel Jeremiah and who they have selected for Miami in Round 1. All this and more is on this episode of the DolphinsTalk.com Podcast.

Is Miami's 2024 Offensive Line going to Resemble the 2023 Line?

On today’s DolphinsTalk.com Podcast, Mike and Tom break down all of the latest news in the world of the Miami Dolphins. They start the show by discussing Miami re-signing offensive lineman Isaiah Wynn to a one-year contract. They discuss Wynn's role in 2024 and whether Miami was wise to bring him back. They then talk about the signing of offensive lineman Jack Driscoll, formerly of the Philadelphia Eagles. Was he brought in to replace Kendall Lamm, or is he in to compete to replace Robert Hunt? And the guys talk about if Miami is essentially going to run it back with most of the same offensive line as last year, and if no real signing of a guard is coming in free agency. All this and more is on this episode of the DolphinsTalk.com Podcast.

DouglieDoWrong Talks Miami Dolphins Offseason Thus Far

On this episode of CLOCKBLOCKERS, Stephen D. Daniels is joined by DouglieDoWrong from YouTube to discuss the Miami Dolphins' offseason moves thus far and whether they are any better than last year. All this and more is on this episode of Clockblockers, part of the DolphinsTalk.com Podcast Network.

Chubb/Phillips Time Frame to Return and More Tyreek Hill Drama

On today’s DolphinsTalk.com Podcast, Mike is flying solo and discussing all of the latest news about the Miami Dolphins. He starts the show by discussing the Sun-Sentinel report that Jaelan Phillips and Bradley Chubb may be ready and on the field for Week 1 of the NFL season. He explains why this may be realistic for Phillips but unrealistic for Chubb. Then Mike talks about the latest off-the-field drama with Tyreek Hill that came out on Sunday, including how he allegedly smashed a cigar in his wife's face. Is this new report the reason why Tryeek didn't have his contract restructured this offseason? When does the Dolphins organization get fed up with Tyreek's antics and off-the-field headlines? Does Miami need another good wide receiver as insurance if Tyreek's off-the-field issues cost him time on the field at some point? And how soon can Miami realistically move on from Tyreek without major salary cap ramifications? All this and more is on this episode of the DolphinsTalk.com Podcast.

Current Look at Miami's Offensive and Defensive Lines

On today’s DolphinsTalk.com Podcast, Mike is flying solo and talking about all of the latest news about the Miami Dolphins. Mike starts talking about Jerome Baker signing with the Seattle Seahawks, how Miami essentially swapped out Baker for Jordyn Brooks, and how that will be a subplot Dolphins fans can follow this upcoming 2024 season to see if it was the right decision. Mike then discusses the Dolphins re-signing Braxton Berrios and whether this was a good move or not, and he talks about the report of Miami visiting with Robbie Chosen and the potential of him returning to the Dolphins in 2024. He closes out the show doing a deep dive into Miami's offensive line and defensive line as it sits today, one week into free agency, and why Chris Grier and Mike McDaniel's focus must be laser-focused on both position groups between now and training camp as they are the clear weak links on this roster as of today. And for Miami to get back to the playoffs, they must get better on both of the lines of scrimmage.  All this and more is on this episode of the DolphinsTalk.com Podcast. 

What Else Do the Dolphins Need to Do?

On this episode of CLOCKBLOCKERS, Stephen D. Daniels is joined by Cameron of the East 32 Tailgate to discuss the free agency news from this past week. They talk about what holes they still need to fill and who could and should the Dolphins be looking at to fill them. And if any of the signings this week change Miami's needs in the draft this April.  All this and more is on this episode of Clockblockers, part of the DolphinsTalk.com Podcast Network.

Dolphins Sign Kendall Fuller

On today’s DolphinsTalk.com Podcast, Mike is flying solo and talking about all of the latest news about the Miami Dolphins. Mike starts talking about the signings of Kendall Fuller, Benito Jones, Jody Fortso, and Da'Shawn Hand. He gives all the background info you need on them, talks about how they will fit into the Dolphins' plans in 2024, and what we can expect from them this season. He also does a side-by-side breakdown of Xavien Howard and Kendall Fuller to see if this is an upgrade for Miami or if this is a lateral signing of someone who can replace Xavien at a lower price. Mike closes out the show with a discussion of Chris Grier's week that was thus far and why Dolphins fans shouldn't be worrying about the sky falling but also should see the reality in front of them, which is the 2024 Dolphins roster will be less talented than the 2023 one, and while free agency isn't over, and we haven't had the draft yet, there is nothing that will change that between now and September. All this and more is on this episode of the DolphinsTalk.com Podcast.

Dolphins Lose Homegrown Talent in Free Agency & Recruit Cheaper Replacements

NFL Free Agency is off and running with big names moving to new teams with some eye-popping contract numbers. For the Miami Dolphins, it was particularly bittersweet as the team said goodbye to several homegrown players including DT Christian Wilkins and G Robert Hunt.
But, as he so often does, Chris Grier set to work bringing in replacements on smaller, more team friendly deals. New Miami Dolphins include TE Jonnu Smith, LB Jordyn Brooks, S Jordan Poyer, LB Shaquil Barrett, C Aaron Brewer, LB Anthony Walker, CB Siran Neal, and DTs Daviyon Nixon and Isaiah Mack. Additionally, the Dolphins have re-signed RB Salvon Ahmed, G Robert Jones, CB Nik Needham, CB Elijah Campbell, and P Jake Bailey.
There's obviously still a long way to go and lots can and will change before the season begins, but Aaron and Josh are back to give their thoughts on what has gone down so far and how they feel about the task that remains ahead of the Dolphins this Spring and Summer. Join us for another fun episode of THE SAME OLD DOLPHINS SHOW at DolphinsTalk.com!

Wild Day 1 of Free Agency for the Dolphins

On today’s DolphinsTalk.com Podcast, Mike and Jason Sarney are back with a recap of the start of NFL Free Agency and the wild Day 1 Miami had.

They restructured the contracts of Jalen Ramsey, Alec Ingold, Zach Sieler, and Durham Smythe to become salary cap compliant by Wednesday. And the day isn't even over yet! We discuss if any of the four losses were truly a surprise and if Miami should maybe have matched the contract Andrew Van Ginkel got from the Vikings, as it wasn't earth-shattering money. And with the NFL Network and the Miami Herald reporting that 2024 may be a "soft reset" for the Dolphins, what can we expect moving forward in the coming days and weeks? All this and more is on this episode of the DolphinsTalk.com Podcast.

To close the show, Mike talks about the L'Jarius Sneed rumor/report that has been out there since Sunday, why it may not be as far-fetched as you think, and why Dolphins fans shouldn't just dismiss it so quickly. All this and more is on this episode of the DolphinsTalk.com Podcast.
