Miami Dolphins defensive back Eric Rowe has the ability to play both safety and cornerback, but he will likely play a depth role this year with Jevon Holland and Brandon Jones ascending as the starting safeties early last season. If the Dolphins chose to trade Rowe, they would save $4.55 million and incur just $525,000 in dead money. If Rowe remains with Miami, they'll be paying him $5.075 million. The 29-year-old finished with 71 tackles (43 solo), four passes defensed and three forced fumbles in 17 games (four starts) last year in his third season with the Dolphins. Rowe was originally a second-round pick in 2015 by the Philadelphia Eagles out of Utah.
Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert (knee) said on his Twitter account on Wednesday that his rehab is going well and that he is close to 100%. Mostert hasn't been taking part in Miami's offseason workouts, but there's a chance that he'll be ready to go in late July for the start of training camp. The 30-year-old injured his left knee in the season opener last year with the San Francisco 49ers and didn't play another game all season. He was also limited to just eight games in 2020 due to injury and is a pretty big injury risk. Until Mostert proves he's back to full health, he's nothing more than an RB4/5 in much deeper leagues, and he'll be competing for backfield work in Miami with Chase Edmonds and Sony Michel.
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill said that quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is more accurate than his former QB Patrick Mahomes. "Obviously, like I'm gonna go with 15 (Mahomes) as the strongest arm, but as far as accuracy-wise, I'm going with Tua all day," Hill said. Per Pro Football Focus, Mahomes was actually slightly more accurate than Tagovailoa the last two seasons. "I've had a chance to see Tua throw the ball, to myself, but ... he's that dude, bro," Hill said. The knock on Tagovailoa in his first two seasons is that he doesn't have a strong arm, and he hasn't thrown deep often, with only 9% of his throws traveling at least 20 yards downfield. The 24-year-old might go deep more often with Hill now in the fold, and Tagovailoa has enough weapons to have a breakout in Year 3.
Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa has plenty of pressure on him as he enters his third year at the professional level. However, after two subpar seasons, he'll have a good chance of turning things around, especially with Jaylen Waddle and former Chiefs receiverTyreek Hill on the roster. It appears Tagovailoa and Hill have already hit it off as well, with the wideout recently stating that the former Alabama signal-caller is more accurate than Patrick Mahomes. Nevertheless, whether the 24-year-old surpasses Mahomes' production in 2022-23 is yet to be seen. Still, with more than enough weapons, Tagovailoa has an excellent chance of having a breakout year, making him a perfect option for fantasy managers looking for a backup in redraft formats or a second quarterback in Superflex leagues.
Miami Dolphins offensive lineman Connor Williams continues to play center with his new team during organized team activities this offseason. "I think I've really enjoyed this position," Williams said. "I think definitely in this offense, in this scheme, playing center brings out my strengths. They've been very patient with me learning the position and learning the ins and outs with it as growing pains. I've enjoyed it. I've enjoyed the transition." Williams played left guard in his first four seasons in the NFL with the Dallas Cowboys, but it appears the Dolphins are serious about moving him to center full time in 2022.
