Poll: Which Dolphins free agent addition is your favorite so far in the 2022 offseason?
Within the first few hours of the NFL’s legal negotiating period beginning Monday, the Miami Dolphins made a series of somewhat high-profile free agent additions.
They actually began a few minutes before the so-called “legal tampering” window opened at noon when they came to an agreement for a four-year deal to keep Emmanuel Ogbah in South Florida, just a few days before he officially hit the open market.
Less than an hour later, the Dolphins also reached a deal to sign running back Chase Edmonds, and they came to agreements with quarterback Teddy Bridgewater and wide receiver Cedrick Wilson a few hours later.
It’s a pretty solid start to free agency for Miami, even though free agency won’t officially begin until Wednesday. Ogbah was the Dolphins’ top defensive end last year and Edmonds was the Arizona Cardinals’ starting running back for most of the season. Even Bridgewater, who’s likely to back up quarterback Tua Tagovailoa next year, started all 14 games he played last season and Wilson started four games for the Dallas Cowboys.
On the first day teams were allowed to negotiate with free agents, Miami may well have reached deals with four potential starters or at least important contributors.
Some of the deals, of course, are bigger than others — Ogbah’s on a four-year deal and getting paid like one of the league’s top edge rushers, while Bridgewater is only on a one-year contract to be a backup — but all have their merits, so which one is your favorite? Weigh in on this poll to give your thoughts on how the Dolphins are kicking off the 2022 offseason as they try to get back to the NFL playoffs after a five-year postseason drought in new coach Mike McDaniel’s first season.
