The Miami Dolphins’ new regime parted ways with notable veterans, marking a new direction for the club. They released wide receiver Tyreek Hill, edge-rusher Bradley Chubb and traded wideout Jaylen Waddle to the Denver Broncos.<\/p>\n
Heading into training camp, Miami is either depleted or inexperienced at key positions.<\/p>\n
Quarterback Malik Willis is a first-time full-time starter. In four seasons, he’s made just six starts, throwing for 1,322 yards, six touchdowns and three interceptions with a 67.7 percent completion rate. Still a work in progress under center, the 27-year-old needs a strong supporting cast, but aside from running back De’Von Achane, Miami hasn’t provided him with much help at the skill positions.<\/p>\n
The Dolphins don’t have a clear-cut go-to receiver. The Miami Herald’s Omar Kelly<\/a> believes Jalen Tolbert is the lead player of that group. He served as the Dallas Cowboys’ No. 3 receiver in recent years.<\/p>\n Rookie first-rounders Kadyn Proctor<\/a> and Chris Johnson<\/a> will likely start at left guard<\/a> and cornerback, respectively.<\/p>\n Miami is far from playoff contention.<\/p>\n Playoff probability meter: 1<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Miami Dolphins’ new regime parted ways with notable veterans, marking a new direction for the club.
