DAVIE, Fla. Getting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa upgraded playmakers is a top priority for the Miami Dolphins this offseason.
The Dolphins lack of offensive juice was an eye-opening issue, particularly in the second half of the 2020 season. Wide receiver DeVante Parker, tight end Mike Gesicki and running back Myles Gaskin provided solid contributions, but no offensive player reached 1,000 total yards, 800 receiving yards or 600 rushing yards. Obviously having playmakers on offense and defense is what the great teams have, Dolphins general manager Chris Grier said to start the offseason.

One of the major issues to plague the Miami Dolphins (and Tua Tagovailoa) down the stretch of the 2021 season was the play of their receiving corps. Some of their struggles were the product of injuries. Preston Williams missed the entire second half of the season and both Jakeem Grant and Devante Parker missed two games each down the stretch. Injuries can happen to any team or position group, but it should be up to Chris Grier to make sure this group has enough depth to stay afloat. If you re depending on these top three receivers to each play sixteen games, you will most likely be disappointed.
