Miami Dolphins have five player contracts that need addressed
By Brian Miller
The Miami Dolphins season is over and the next page of the agenda is now to add to and replace pieces on the roster.
Some names like Jordan Cameron, Mario Williams, and Koa Misi should all be out in Miami. Cameron is not under contract and Williams and Misi should be cut. Other players may be on the fringe or they may just be that hard decision that the Dolphins may not want to have to make.
Five players stand out when it comes to contract discussions ahead of the 2017 league year which begins in March.
Jarvis Landry
Landry is still playing on his first rookie contract but after next season he will be a free agent if the Dolphins do not franchise tag him. Doing so is not enough. The Dolphins need to step up now and do a team friendly contract that is both good for them as well as Landry. Landry is the heart and soul of the offense and doing a deal now sends a clear message that the Dolphins will not only reward good play but also that they intend to make their own players a priority.
Landry doesn’t need to be the number one priority but his contract needs to be addressed before the start of the next season. Landry will command a huge contract on the open market. Miami can not allow him to get there.
