The Miami Dolphins added seven players to their 53-man roster via the waiver wire today. They should be reconsidering one of them. <\/p>\n

The Miami Dolphins<\/a> seized the moment with their waiver claims on Monday, landing seven new players for their 53-man roster. Dolphins general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan smiled when asked about that volume of new additions and he thought they\u2019d actually get that many players awarded to them. <\/p>\n

\u201cI did not. But I\u2019m glad we did,\u201d he said. But a new available player tonight should have Miami reconsidering one of their Monday commitments \u2014\u00a0as there\u2019s a compelling quarterback freshly available on the waiver wire for Tuesday. <\/p>\n

The Miami Dolphins should be reconsidering the addition of QB Brady Cook after the Cowboys released Joe Milton<\/p>\n

\"TennesseeJerome Miron-Imagn Images<\/p>\n

The Dallas Cowboys waived Joe Milton on Monday amid their own roster shuffle, shaking loose a rare tools quarterback who is now available for any team to pluck in the waiver order. As a reminder to the waiver wire process, you don\u2019t move to the back of the line with a successful claim. So Miami still ranks 11th in the queue, giving them a puncher\u2019s chance to land any player they choose to claim. <\/p>\n

Milton would be, in my opinion, a far superior option to Brady Cook as a developmental competitor within the quarterback room. Cook is a plus athlete in his own right \u2014 he\u2019s 6-foot-2, 215 pounds and posted 80th percentile or better in the 40-yard dash, 10-yard split, vertical leap, standing broad jump, and short shuttle at the 2025 NFL Combine. <\/p>\n

But Milton is a mountain at 6-foot-5, 235 pounds. He carries a cannon on his shoulder for a passing arm. And he\u2019s got some NFL seasoning beyond the reps that Cook collected last season playing for *squints* the New York Jets. Yes, Cook has more career pass attempts, but Milton has more rare tools and exposures within multiple NFL offenses. <\/p>\n

Milton entered the league so raw that medium rare would call it \u201cmoo-ing\u201d. I appreciate the traits that Cook offers \u2014 but the tape last year was rough. Milton\u2019s profile is more rare. And, to me, that makes him more enticing. The Dolphins will have a chance to agree or disagree when the daily waiver claims process tomorrow. <\/p>\n
