The five worst moves by the Miami Dolphins in 2020
The Miami Dolphins signing Jordan Howard to a 2-year/$9.75M contract
The fact that the Jordan Howard signing tops the list should come as no surprise to any Dolphins fan that even casually follows the team. Howard was supposed to be the big/bruising back that would provide the Dolphins’ offense with some much-needed balance. His 30 touchdowns in four years and 4.1 YPC average spoke to an established back that allowed the Dolphins to focus on other positions in the 2020 NFL Draft.
Why was this a bad move?

The “Jordan Howard era” in Miami lasted all of nine games; in that span, he was inactive for four of those 9 games. Even when Howard was active, his production made Dolphins fans long for the days of Kalen Ballage. For the season, he carried the ball 28 times for 33 yards (a 1.2 YPC average).
So, Dolphins fans, how would you rank these moves? Were there any that I missed?
