Miami Dolphins 2017 decisions are being decided now
By Brian Miller
The Miami Dolphins are going to have some interesting decisions to make at the end of the 2016 season. Those decisions will be based on the performances on the field of play throughout the season.
It looks more and more likely that the Dolphins will keep Ryan Tannehill in 2017 despite his ballooning cap hit. Adam Gase likes what he is seeing in Tannehill but admits there is still a lot of growth that needs to be made.
Changes on the offense and defense will be interesting but no position is going to be safe and no players will be either. It’s far too early to be talking about 2017 but it’s really about the players who are basically auditioning for another chance after the season. It’s important now, as we will update it throughout the year, because those players who could be gone, are playing for their careers now.
Over the course of the next three months the Dolphins will evaluate their players ahead of the 2017 off-season. Miami will wrap the first quarter of their season on Thursday night and hopefully positive changes start to show on the field after Adam Gase made it clear that he will get players on the field that will play and not simply go through the motions.
