From Joe Schad - PBP - http://dailydolphin.blog.palmbeachp...hins-connect-to-pats-jags-eagles-and-vikings/ Eagles running back Jay Ajayi — Dolphins Pro Bowler, 2016 Patriots wide receiver Chris Hogan — Dolphins practice squad, 2011-2012 Vikings general manager Rick Spielman — Dolphins GM and VP role, 2000-2004 Vikings offensive line coach Tony Sparano — head coach of Dolphins, 2008-2011 Jaguars assistant offensive line coach Tony Sparano, Jr. — Dolphins quality control coach, 2011 Vikings center Joe Berger — played for Dolphins, 2005-2006 and 2009-2010 Eagles coach Doug Pederson — played quarterback for Dolphins, 1991-1995 Jaguars quarterback Chad Henne — played for Dolphins, 2008-2011 Jaguars coach Doug Marrone — played for Dolphins in 1987 Patriots running back Mike Gillislee — played for Dolphins, 2013 "Before this season, the Miami Dolphins traded offensive tackle Branden Albert to the Jacksonville Jaguars and also acquired tight end Julius Thomas in a separate deal with the club... ...The Dolphins haven’t played the Jaguars in the last two seasons, but when they did last meet, in 2015, Dolphins offensive tackle Sam Young started for the Jags. Albert was at left tackle for Miami. There are a handful of Dolphins who have played for the teams left standing. For example, linebacker Kiko Alonso (Eagles), defensive end Andre Branch (Jaguars), tight end MarQuies Gray (Vikings), safety Nate Allen (Eagles) and the aforementioned Thomas (Jaguars) and Young (Jaguars)."
None of these hurt too much right now. Maybe Ajayi, in time, but we may have to wait until next season to see how that trade works out. Hogan and Gillislee, maybe? How much of that is due to the overall offensive output of the Patriots, though? Rick Spielman has been doing a bang-up job though. These past couple years I've been looking at the Vikings' picks and saying to myself, "Man, that's what I thought our draft was gonna look like!" I'd be interested to see if they ever settle on a QB. Not being able to find that key piece makes competent GM's look foolish, but sometimes it just never falls into place.
Funny to see Sparano going from a 1st year Playoff Headcoach to assistant O-Line coach. Must be a hard choice between him or Philbin... Edit: I missed the Jr part. I forgot Italians all use the same name.
I’m good with moving on from everyone except Hogan I think we’ll have a player in Drew Morgan as a sleeper
