Miami Dolphins: Top 5 moves made during the off season

The Miami Dolphins have a brand-new look and swagger. What are the five most important off season moves the team has made thus far?

The Miami Dolphins entered the off season and free agency period with some of the most money to spend of any NFL team, and they made some of the biggest splashes of the early stages. The team looks drastically different on the offensive side of the ball, while the defense that was responsible for keeping the team in contention in 2021 has returned every starter.
