I’m getting tired of Reddit. Can anyone share good Twitter accounts to follow for dolphins news? If you have any for heat and canes, that would be great too. Thanks!

As Goff signs, everyone wonders what’s going on with Tua. I’m assuming the dolphins are going to go the whole year without a deal, and I think that’s a smart decision. If Tua continues to grow and gets better/ wins playoff games, he’s worth it. So what if it’s an extra 5 mill a year? At the end of the day if he can win when it matters, it’s worth it. If we get another flameout, he dosent sign, and we have freedom to draft or sign a FA. That way, we’re not tied up long term to a potential mistake. 200 vs 232 mil? That’s nothing. 200 mill vs 0 mil/ financial freedom/ direction? That matters.

Summarized: Dolphins Deep Dive: Sun Sentinel's Perkins, Furones discuss their takeaways from rookie camp and answer your questions

• Perkins: "We're gonna try to make this a quick show!"

• Perkins on Bayron Matos: The international UDFA OL is "impressive in a couple ways."

• Perkins on Mike Grier: "Congrats to Mike Grier," the brother of Dolphins' GM Chris Grier, on getting "the number one NHL draft pick! Good luck to him!"

• Perkins on Chop Robinson: "He showed good punch!" Expresses quiet first day. "Not the biggest guy physically, but showed decent power" and also liked what he "heard on the podium [from Chop]."

• Furones: Trying to set baseline expectations for rookies in minicamp. 'Don't fall for the highlights,' he reminds Dolphins fans.

• Furones: Kamara and Chop "trained together in the offseason in Phoenix, so ... fitting that they end up congregating in Miami." Nice, friendly competition level between them.

• Furones on Patrick Paul: "He is extremely huge. A very large human being."

• Furones: Enjoyed seeing all of these new personalities currently on the Dolphins.

• Perkins on Patrick Paul: "Maybe too nice. He really is such a nice guy." Adds Paul is "engaging, smiles all the time, makes good conversation." Looks forward to seeing how his minicamp shakes out.

• Perkins: Was surprised to see Xavien Howard's number taken so quickly in minicamp.

• Perkins on Mo Kamara: "Let's see what he does!" Expectations low because fifth round pick, but suggests 'you never truly know!'

• Perkins: "Long-shot, to me, for him [UDFA QB Hardison] to beat out Skylar Thompson."

• Furones on Mo Kamara: "Could have been a round 3, early round 4, guy." Potential is there, "like Malik Washington."

• Perkins on Malik Washington: "He's a guy that could sneakily ... be someone that contributes [in 2024]." Details, "Maybe down the line, he's a guy I could see as a nice slot WR." Dolphins got "good value" on his draft spot.

• Perkins on Chop Robison: "I did not see the 'quick first step' from Chop Robinsion." Saw some burst, but "[no] speed."

• Perkins: Didn't notice anything "[notably] physical" regarding Malik Washington or Tahj Washington.

• Furones on Patrick Paul (Again): HUUUUUUGE. HUGE, HUGE, HUGE. Physically hilariously massive.

• Perkins on Favorite UDFA: "He [Bayron Matos] could definitely be on the list to eventually become [my] favorite UDFA." Notes also Kader Kohou as memorable, impressive recent UDFA.

• Furones on Favorite UDFA: Bayron Matos, great personality, "a big body" type of player and overall demeanor. Hopes working with Butch Barry can see Matos develop. Also notes Needham as memorable, 'favorite' UDFA of recent years. "An impressive career he's [Needham] formulated for himself." Ends with, "Robert Jones might be the one [actual favorite] for me."

• Perkins on Chris Brooks: "Good personality, I like him."

• Perkins on Storm Duck: Didn't see anything interesting yet.

• Furones on Storm Duck: "Telling that the Dolphins made a commitment" on Duck with the guaranteed monies. Suspects Dolphins FO is carefully watching Duck as final roster add.

• Perkins on "What I Want to See Next": Really wants to see Tua throw to Hill, Waddle, OBJ in upcoming OTAs. Notes "it'll feel weird" to see Chop Robinson starting in place of injured Phillips/Chubb.

• Furones on "What I Want to See Next": Mentions Williams/Brewer interior offensive line situation. Wants to see "if Aaron Brewer is indeed the [starting] center," or if post-June 1st cash shifts things. Also interested to see alignment(s) and starting snaps for all RBs.

• Perkins on Alabama WRs: "If you put talent around him [Tua], he [Tua] will exploit that talent." Highly endorses strategy of acquiring receiving talent depth, or just talent in general.

• Perkins: "I like the offensive talent they've assembled."

• Perkins on O-Line: "For all the personnel" flexibility and with Tua's passing quickness and timing-based offense, thinks overall "the offensive line situation is handled [fine for now]."

• Perkins & Furones: Aaron Brewer "has that Richie Incognito nastiness."

• Furones on O-Line: Multi-faceted offense helps greatly. "You can still make it all work" without a top-tier offensive line.

• Furones on Paul vs. Lamm: Paul needs to "show that he deserves it" to start over Kendall Lamm for backup snaps at RT/LT. Paul has "a lot to learn" regarding developmental technique (but notes "a high ceiling").

• Perkins on Paul: "This is your [the Dolphins'] 2nd Round Pick." He insists, "I want him [Paul] to 4 or 5 starts" by the time that Paul is REQUIRED to play, whether by injury or salary requirements.

• Furones on Paul: Insists that first games will not matter, whether bad or good, for Paul's first starts - whenever they come. "I'd [prefer] to see him [Paul] get his snaps at the end of blowouts."

• Perkins on Surprise Starters: "You see what you've got in OTAs, you go into training camp, and then you see" what 2-3 surprise starters end up making the final roster.

• Furones on Surprise Starters: "There could be some mixing and matching" regarding 18.5 million to be freed up by June 1st. Insists "there will be value added to this roster," whether it's UDFA or FA.

Who would be a better fit for Dolphins to start at RG? Roten or Risner?

Trying to gauge everyone’s opinions on how we feel on our draft pick and off season signings. I been hearing all kinds of things (obviously from different fan bases and podcasts) just trying to see where we stand internally.

Let me hear the good and the bad 😭

I was just reading up on some of our draft picks. I love Chop Robinson and Malik Washington. I think these two guys will not only get second contracts, but will be highly valuable for us. I read a great article about the number of draft picks per round who go on to get a second contract - see here. It's from 2022, so pretty relevant. They break the article down by "Viewing it from a purely nominal value, a metric was calculated to determine a successful pick. This metric is known as the SC Pay Ratio, which refers to the second contract pay ratio. It takes the amount of money guaranteed in the second contract and compares it to the guaranteed money from the first contract." It's a 3-part series and is very well done.

Then that got me thinking, I wonder what the MOST SUCCESSFUL drafts look like. As in, what's the most number of picks that went on to get a second contract by any single team in one draft. Not sure if this is out there but thought I'd ask. FinsUp!

Genuine question as I am not a dolphins fan, and am aware he is no longer with the team as he was the player traded along with a pick for Jalen Ramsey.

Edit: Since I clearly frustrated some people, I got his jersey in a “mystery box” and was trying to do something nice and give it to someone who actually cared. Clearly y’all were as disappointed with the pick as I was to receive it. Lol

I feel like X could have fit well at safety. He clearly didn't have the ability to play corner at the high level he was before 2022. His injuries slowed him down. But I think the Dolphins should have tried to play him at safety. He had great tackling and run defense, as well as a good instinct for coverage. Safety would have given him more time to read the offense and adjust accordingly as opposed to corner where you have to shadow your receiver if you're in man. I had been saying this for years, and it just sucks that we never tried it, and now he's gone.

This is a longshot but wanted to ask in here, in case anyone had this scarf for sale. Trying to get it for a friend, who attended the game but wasn't able to grab one. Any help would be appreciated. I tried my internet searching and ebay but they only had a different type of scarf. Thank you again for your help in advance.

I made my wife watch the first half hour and she stuck through it all. More F-bombs than a Tarantino movie.

Some really funny jabs at Brady. His rebuttal at the end made him seem like the prick I think he is.

Share your favorite touchdown story, GIF, video, moment, or celly with your fellow Phins fans.
