The Dolphins have run out of excuses. They have more than enough draft capital, and they understand their biggest roster needs. In this case, let’s project that they pursue a former Bears offensive lineman, whose skill set has been getting overlooked thus far in free agency.
Teven Jenkins seems like a solid, albeit attainable, choice. His market value is listed at $10.3 million annually, according to Spotrac, so it would be wise for the Dolphins to at least entertain the idea.
A second-round pick in 2021, the Dolphins can plug in a reliable player at the guard spot as they continue to proceed on their path of bolstering the O-line. If nothing else, this sets them up nicely a month away from the draft.
With the Bears acquiring Joe Thuney in Wednesday’s trade with the Kansas City Chiefs, Jenkins is almost guaranteed to be heading elsewhere this offseason. The Dolphins make sense as a change of scenery.
This gives McDaniel a quality offensive veteran on the frontlines in Jenkins, who only recently turned 27 years old on March 3. A small step down the path to contention for Miami in 2025.
