The No. 1 position group that needed to be improved for the Miami Dolphins this offseason has taken significant steps, but there remains more work to do on the offensive line.
The headline-grabbing move was made in snagging top free-agent tackle Terron Armstead. In the grand scheme of the offseason, it was only overshadowed the next day when the Dolphins landed the NFL’s fastest player in wide receiver Tyreek Hill, but solidifying the offensive line was the top priority as the roster reconstruction began under new coach Mike McDaniel.
Armstead, 30, will man the left tackle position, as he’s done for three Pro Bowl seasons with the New Orleans Saints. That much is a certainty, as McDaniel noted recently at NFL meetings.
