Day 352, Quasi-Quarantine: With Watson And Wilson Dancing On The Edges Of Availability, Do The Dolphins Strike Big?

 


It's been a crazy offseason on the quarterback carousel already -- and it's been less than a month since the season ended.

First, the Rams traded basically the team facility to Detroit for Matthew Stafford. Then, the Colts landed Carson Wentz from Philadelphia in a deal that seemed fair for both sides.

While these transactions have helped established the trade landscape for varying degrees of quarterback, the Dolphins have taken note because two of the league's finest players have (allegedly) entered the trade market.

Houston's Deshaun Watson has apparently told the Texans it's over, and he has slid Miami onto the list of teams he's willing to be traded to. Now, generational talent and former Wolfpacker Russell Wilson has reportedly told Seattle the same.

While I'm taking a bit of a "I'll believe it when I see it" approach to both of these signal-callers being dealt, it feels like a momentous offseason for the 'Fins, all considering. Does Miami scrap the blueprint it's followed for the past two years for a shot at one of these iconic players? Or stick to the script, stockpile draft ammunition, and stack the roster with weapons?

Either way, at this point, it seems unfathomable that it would feel almost like a letdown if Miami entered next season with last year's #5 overall draft pick -- Tua Tagovailoa -- under center.
