Miami Dolphins Offseason Outlook
Miami is looking to rebound from a disappointing regular season. They missed the NFL Playoffs due to Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa being limited to 11 games with various injuries. Miami has had a respectable offseason. They signed Zach Wilson to back up Tagovailoa. Miami also solidified its offensive line with multiple free-agent signings.
Westbrook-Ikhine joins a receiving duo that is one of the league’s best. Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle are a tremendous duo. Westbrook-Ikhine will look to be a complementary piece to them. Miami’s offense is its strength. They added to it with these signings.
Final Thoughts
Miami has made some shrewd moves to improve its offense, but it all hinges upon the health of Tagovailoa. He is one of the best quarterbacks in the league when healthy, but with him, that is far from a guarantee. Westbrook-Ikhine is a solid signing for the franchise.
