Randy Starks Released

Dolphins released DT Randy Starks.

The move wipes Starks' $5 million salary off the books. The Fins apparently couldn't justify keeping Starks after making Ndamukong Suh the highest player on their roster. While Starks remains a disruptive pass rusher at age 31, his run defense took a major step back in 2014. Starks isn't an every-down player anymore, but should still be able to contribute in a rotation.

I don't know about yall but I think starks would be great in rotation here.

I would prefer we not hold onto aging players just because they've been here as we are apparently doing, it's never been a real formula for success. That said, Starks likely wants to go somewhere he'll start.

Nothing wrong with having two young studs, and a couple of aging players in a rotational role.

Sure we don't have the money to go out and get Cam some weapons but we have the money to go and get someone at a position that we are already stacked at?

Starks isn't exactly a sophomore year guy either, he's just better than what we have there.

Better than Cole/Edwards?  Probably, but I wouldn't think it's significant enough to matter much, and I don't expect our aged DT's to be around much longer than this season.

    • I know it's only been training camp and one preseason game, but I think T-Mac has already shown his floor to be exactly what I said about him in the pre-draft process. That his floor if he never improves his game, is as one of the best #2 WRs in the NFL, if not even still a low end #1 (i.e. a 25th-ish best WR in the league). I think it's safe to say he's already established himself as our #1, and there are only a small handful of teams in the league where I don't think he'd be their starting #2 WR in Week 1. Bengals (Higgins), Dolphins (Waddle), Eagles (Smith), Bucs (Godwin if healthy), Rams (Adams) are really the only teams where I think he'd be the #3 as a rookie in Week 1.  A few others like the Lions (Williams), Bears (Odunze), Seahawks (Kupp), Commanders (Deebo), where he'd be the 2b to start the season, just because they're vets and/or already have a year or two of experience with their team/QB. And even having said that, I think by year 2, he's better than every one of those players (And no, I'm not saying he's already going to be better than a prime version of Adams, just whatever he'll be at 33 next year), and same goes for Kupp, but that's more because it seems like his body might be quitting on him in a way that hasn't happened to Adams (yet).
    • Well to be fair, Horn not practicing right now to let his stitches heal up from a car accident isn't something that should be concerning.  Sure, you don't want him missing practice leading into the season, but it's one that once healed, won't have lingering affects or fear of re-injuring it, it was just bad luck.
    • Quality backups are absolutely important. This franchise has been plagued with depth problems. That said, there is a little bit of dismay that Mays can't beat out a 1-legged man, and all the talk going into the off-season was how BC would certainly be gone since he had position versatility.  In the end, it doesn't matter too awfully much, as I would be shocked to no end if Corbett makes it through the season. We know what we have in reserve, and that should surely be better than trying to sign random fat guys mid season to try and take over.
