The Miami Dolphins made some tough decisions during the offseason, including firing head coach Mike McDaniel and moving on from Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle, and Tua Tagovailoa.
The Dolphins will have to decide over the next few months if they want to continue building this thing from the ground up or try to make a few blockbuster moves to get things up to speed as quickly as possible.
Unfortunately for Miami, it has found out over the past few years that making big moves doesn't necessarily mean a team is going to be good. It all starts with being tough up front, and that's something the Dolphins haven't been.
Speaking about the decision to move on from guys like Hill and Tagovailoa, since they were released rather than traded like Waddle, it sounds like a lot went into it, and the cap situation was the biggest factor.
The new Dolphins head coach even admitted that the cap situation was difficult, a problem the Dolphins have been trying to navigate.
