Episode Description

Miami Dolphins face a franchise-defining crossroads as Kyle Crabbs exposes the staggering gap between the Dolphins’ and Green Bay Packers’ philosophies on NFL free agency. With Miami’s front office—led by new GM John Eric Sullivan—preaching draft-and-develop, the data tells a harsh story: the Dolphins handed out hoards of contracts over $2.5 million annually to outside free agents since 2020, while the Packers inked just six. Does this spending spree doom Miami’s hopes for a sustainable rebuild, or can Sullivan shift course?

From Byron Jones and Terron Armstead’s high-stakes deals to the fallout from Shaq Barrett’s abrupt retirement and James Daniels’ drama, Kyle Crabbs breaks down the ripple effects of Miami’s aggressive cap strategy. If the Dolphins follow the Packers’ blueprint, expect fewer splashy signings and more homegrown talent—raising big questions about the team’s immediate future. Are fans ready for a new era of selective, intentional roster building in Miami?
