Monday, April 4 marks the first day of the 2022 Miami Dolphins season and officially launches the Mike McDaniel era. As he has indicated during his press conferences and media appearances, there will be a difference from the pre-McDaniel era. That time isn’t how we should view or predict the outlook of the latest Dolphins team.
They’re a team that hasn’t only retained its core but solidified it with savvy free-agent signings of role and complementary players such as Chase Edmonds, Raheem Mostert and Cedrick Wilson Jr. to name a few. The big splash moves like Terron Armstead and Tyreek Hill as well as the mastery of the salary cap in extensions and renegotiations have created hype within the Dolphins faithful unseen in twenty years.
Not only have the Dolphins improved their roster, but they also fixed their salary cap steadily over the last several seasons. Learning from past mistakes that included gaudy and unnecessary contracts, trades leading to dead cap issues and not retaining talent, there’s considerable growth here.
