Chris Perkins: Are Dolphins free-agent moves good enough to deliver a playoff win?
Published in Football
For the 2024 free-agent class to fare better, seven of the 12 free-agent signees (58%) would have to meet expectations.
And having them meet expectations still might not be enough to win a playoff game.
The majority of these signees probably need to exceed expectations for the Dolphins to win a playoff game.
The point here isn’t to poo-poo what Miami has done in free agency.
The Dolphins have done well.
The point is to illustrate how high the mountain is that Miami must climb to win a playoff game this season, and go beyond.
There’s a good chance the 2024 Dolphins have less talent than the 2023 Dolphins.
Within that, there’s also a good chance the Dolphins’ 2024 free-agent signees aren’t as good as the Dolphins’ 2024 departures.
Expectations, however, will continue to soar.
Some of us will convince ourselves that these new additions are just what the Dolphins had been missing the previous two seasons.
Welcome back to NFL free agency, a place where hope is always in style.
