On today's episode of The Daily Hunt:
I discuss the recent array of roster moves the Miami Dolphins have made and what it means for the rest of 2019.
How will Miami's secondary fare now that they decided to shutdown cornerback Xavien Howard? Who will step up and what might it mean moving forward? Was the move in Miami's best interest?
I briefly discuss the Kenyan Drake trade and we dive into the Aqib Talib signing. The Dolphins received a 2020 fifth-round draft pick in exchange for a seventh-round pick in 2022. Will he play at all this year? Could the Dolphins have interest in re-signing the veteran defensive back in the offseason?
Chris Grier and the Dolphins' front office now have upwards of 14 draft picks in 2020. Couple that with the $130 million in cap space and the sky is the limit for this team moving forward.
Here's what Flores had to say about the Aqib Talib trade.
“Obviously I have some history with Aqib. I think he’s a really good player. We had an opportunity to acquire him and some draft capital, so we felt like that was the best move for us and obviously he’s dealing with an injury and we’ll just see where that’s at. This is all happening very quickly, so there’s a lot of things we’ve got to assess (and) evaluate. It’s hard to make a blanket statement on what it’s going to be playing-time-wise, etc. So we’re just going to take it day-by-day and just see where he is physically and take it from there.”
