Since this guy is now our no. 1 WR anyone have any info/opinions on this guy other than he converted from QB to WR?

Sounds like he's a big, athletic target but needs to work on his route running. Also, is a non-factor on special teams (from everything I've read).

Will he have a breakout year? Is he better than LaFell?

with his one attempt it certainly proved his potential is > Lafail! I actually feel good about this guy. The others ps guys are nothing to get too excited about imo. With that one pass, that kid went after it, those other guys are running around and not creating that space.... yea, yea, i know some will disagree but I'm being optimistic believe it or not. McNutt will be a solid #2 or 3 when the dust settles. watch and see

He should get the work on his route running this year

I'm willing to bet he is our no. 1 for about another week or so until we sign someone.

Either way, if any of these two receivers turn out to be a no. 1, then gettleman needs a pat on the back.

That said, bring in some talent getts.

I'm all for drafting a stud WR in the first to grow some serious chemistry that will be sustained for many many years. The sooner the better.

I cringe saying this, but perhaps a superstar LT isn't as important for us, because Cam is in fact so mobile and hard to tackle. Don't get me wrong can needs to have protection, but we've been putting of getting him a bonified #1 threat for so long. We could get someone in here who can get the job done at LT for a year or two until we have the ability to bring in a big time LT

yeah - I don't think we'll see that much of a drop off between McNutt and LaFell .. I'm excited that Cam has a big target - maybe his completion % will increase

that being said .. IMO Cam overthrew Smitty on several occasions and maybe that was part of Getts decision to release him .. Cam tends to throw high and needs big targets like McNutt

All jokes aside, I dont know why but I have a good feeling about Mcnutt. I remember hearing about him from time to time during the draft and how he could possibly be a early rounder and is talented. Lets also remember the only time he got on the field last season he made a great circus catch over a CB blanketing him in the endzone, he was out of bounds but still. Now im not saying hes going to be a HOFer or anything but I do think he could be a legit upgrade over Lafell.

      Just look at OTC. It takes like 30 seconds. Also, ESPN just covered this today. As Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel openly mulls a quarterback change late in Tua Tagovailoa's disappointing season, here's the math on where things stand with Tagovailoa and the Dolphins. He has $54 million in fully guaranteed compensation in 2026. That breaks down as a $39 million salary and a $15 million option bonus that needs to be exercised between the first and third days of the 2026 league year in March. Additionally, on the third day of the 2026 league year, $3 million of his $31 million 2027 salary becomes fully guaranteed. So if he's on Miami's roster as of 4 p.m. ET on March 13, the Dolphins will be on the hook for $57 million guaranteed.   If they were to release him prior to that date, they'd still have to pay him the $54 million in 2026 cash and would absorb $99.2 million in dead salary cap charges. (They could spread that out over two years if they designated him a post-June 1 release, but they'd still take $67.4 million in dead money charges on their 2026 cap and the remaining $31.8 million in 2027.) If they were to find a way to trade Tagovailoa before March 13, the acquiring team would become responsible for the $54 million in 2026 salary and bonuses, and the Dolphins' dead-money charge would drop to $45.2 million. If they traded him after March 13, presumably they'd be on the hook for the $15 million option bonus, while the new team would take the $39 million salary; the Dolphins' dead-money charge would be $60.2 million.   None of this is even close to ideal, obviously, as it would leave Miami in a terrible cap situation and also without a quarterback. The Broncos took $80 million in dead-money charges (spread over two years) when they released Russell Wilson in 2024, and they managed to make the playoffs last season and currently hold the 1-seed in the AFC playoff field for this season. So huge dead-money charges don't necessarily kill a team's chances. But one of the reasons it has worked for Denver is it found a first-round QB in Bo Nix who could play right away.   If the Dolphins bench Tagovailoa this week, it'd be for either Zach Wilson or rookie Quinn Ewers, either of whom could theoretically be a 2026 starting option if they show enough in these remaining three weeks. But moving on from Tagovailoa would probably require the Dolphins to be players in that Mac Jones/Kyler Murray/etc. second-chance QB market if they want to compete next year. Not a great spot for whoever their next general manager turns out to be. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/47324378/nfl-week-16-buzz-news-updates-fantasy-intel-questions-predictions#trades
