Miami Dolphins owner Steve Ross once told me he can’t coach, can’t evaluate talent, doesn’t create game plans or schemes, but there’s one expertise he’s developed as a real estate mogul that benefits his NFL franchise.
Ross is a professional check writer, and he views free agency as his time to shine, his opportunity to bring his strength to the table by “getting in the game.”
That’s why most in the NFL expect the Dolphins to be moves and shakers in free agency — like usual — with the team’s $48 million in cap space. And it’s not just about writing big checks to land free agents, or re-signing their own.
