Last week, as the Washington Commanders arrived for a joint practice and preseason game, a question was posed to fans: If you could take any player from the Commanders to enhance the Miami Dolphins roster, who would it be and why? Additionally, which current Dolphins player would you cut to make room for this addition?
Despite mistakenly using the Commanders’ name in a previous post about the Atlanta Falcons, fans were quick to respond. Here are some of the notable suggestions:
Alley Gator expressed interest in rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels as a crucial backup, citing his affordability on a rookie contract and the risk posed by the Dolphins’ offensive line.
Saskatchefin aimed for defensive upgrades, choosing Daron Payne to fill a gap at defensive tackle left by Wilkins, and mentioned Jeremy Chinn as a great option for the safety position.
For a potential star tight end, sdphinsfan wanted Ben Sinnott, praising his blocking skills, reliable hands, and ability to gain yards after the catch.
The Earl highlighted Terry McLaurin as an “underrated” wide receiver who has consistently produced impressive statistics, arguing that adding him to the Dolphins’ offense could significantly boost their scoring potential.
Yarganaught humorously noted that his wish had already been granted, as the Dolphins had recently acquired Fuller.
JKBMia provided a list that included a rookie quarterback, a center, a tackle, and a defensive lineman, expressing regret over not drafting Biadasz, and considering cuts like Driscoll or Pili/Gallimore to create space.
dedstrk316 proposed a strategy of stealing Daniels and trading him for draft picks, given the Dolphins’ recent signing of Tua.
Dolfanjoe supported the idea of acquiring Sinnott, praising the young tight end’s potential.
21Dave wanted to bolster the defensive line with Daron Payne, believing any offensive line player would not significantly improve the current roster.
phinette echoed the need for a center, specifically calling out Tyler Biadasz and expressing curiosity about how Luke McCarthy would perform.
TheRoo1 offered a creative suggestion for a new name for the Commanders, proposing ‘Washington Con Men’ to better reflect their regional identity.
72Phins4ever imagined a trade that would send backup QB Mike White in exchange for a center like Biadasz, claiming it would merit the GM of the year award if successful.
SuperG! noted widespread support among Dolphins fans for any beneficial move involving Commanders players.
daytonadolfan cheekily asked if the Dolphins could acquire the Commanders’ water boy, highlighting concerns regarding the Dolphins’ offensive line depth.
Overall, there were numerous valuable suggestions, particularly aimed at enhancing the offensive line, which many fans are concerned about ahead of the season. The dialogue reflects the fans’ desire for roster improvements and their engagement with the team’s potential strategies. Thank you to everyone who participated in this interesting discussion.
