What Do Oddsmakers Say About Dolphins and Wide Receivers?
The first day of the free agent negotiating period was awfully quiet for the Miami Dolphins, but it began with the team expected to land one of the high-profile wide receivers available.
As to which one, well, that's open to speculation.
When it comes to oddsmakers, though, the most likely option would appear to be Kenny Golladay of the Detroit Lions.
The Dolphins actually were listed as the second-biggest favorites to land Golladay, according to BetOnline (www.BetOnline.ag), if he doesn't re-sign with Detroit.
The Dolphins were listed at 5/2 (betting $200 to win $500), just behind the New York Jets at 2/1. The other two teams really in the mix based on the odds were the New York Giants at 3/1 and the Indianapolis Colts at 4/1.
Another big name on the market is JuJu Smith-Schuster of the Pittsburgh Steelers.
But in this case, the Dolphins were tied for seventh in terms of odds along with the L.A. Chargers and the Washington Football Team. Las Vegas was made the favorite to land Smith-Schuster at 9/4, followed by the Jets at 5/2, the Cardinals and Colts at 6/1, and the Bears and Ravens at 8/1.
It should be noted those odds were released before the Jets agreed to terms to another free agent wide receiver Corey Davis. The Jets, oddly enough, had not been among the 10 teams given odds to land Davis. The Dolphins had been given the seventh-best odds at 13/2.
Another wide receiver who could be on the move is Will Fuller of the Houston Texans, though the Dolphins were not among the nine teams given odds as his next destination.
Pending free agents at other positions given odds for their next team should they move include tight end Hunter Henry, cornerback Richard Sherman and edge defender Jadeveon Clowney.
The Dolphins were not among the teams given odds to land any of those three players.
