He feels like an afterthought at this point, and that $8 million cap hit is burdensome. Q: What percent chance would you give for Cedrick Wilson to be in a Dolphins uniform in Week 1? - on Twitter For now, though, the Dolphins want to trust and instill confidence in Jackson that his second year in this offense will be instrumental and that he can stay healthy coming off back-to-back injured reserve stints last season that resulted from ankle injuries. And if Jackson is not coming along, maybe Wynn can swoop in at right tackle at some point. Now, both Armstead and Jackson have seen their share of injuries, so there’s a reason why these players are vital entering organized team activities. So Wynn, along with fellow former first-round draft pick Cedric Ogbuehi, are coming in as veteran tackles that can provide depth and compete for reserve tackle spots on the Dolphins’ 53-man regular-season roster.

Grier already deemed Austin Jackson the team’s projected starting right tackle, and we know four-time Pro Bowler Terron Armstead will start at left tackle. Q: With the Isiah Wynn signing any word on what we are expecting from him as of being a backup or competing for a starting job and if so what position? - Kyle Greene on Twitter Those deals, though, could provide a benchmark for a figure that is realistic for Wilkins. He doesn’t produce sack numbers like they do. Wilkins doesn’t have to see a deal like Jeffery Simmons’ four years, $94 million with the Titans, Daron Payne’s four years, $90 million with the Commanders or Javon Hargrave’s four years, $84 million with the 49ers. General manager Chris Grier said, in a pre-draft press conference, the team “had some good talks with his agent.” It’ll also come down to defensive coordinator Vic Fangio’s opinion of Wilkins.

McDaniel said at owners meetings after the initial wave of free agency that Wilkins and the Dolphins are in “constant conversations” over an extension. They have built this roster up to be able to compete now, and departing from having Wilkins, their 2019 first-round pick, after one more season would be a step back and a position that would then need to be addressed again. I think the Dolphins see Wilkins as an important foundational piece for this defense. Maybe 60-40 in its favor, or in that range. I’d slightly lean to say, yes, it does happen. Q: Do you believe Christian Wilkins gets his contract extension before the start of the upcoming regular season? - Dan Giunta on Twitter So yes.”Īll in all, there’s probably a decent chance something could develop if Cook and the Vikings don’t work it out, but I wouldn’t say it’s more likely due to recent social media posts showing Cook training in South Florida. There will always be stuff that we’ll investigate because that’s our job.

“But we’re really happy with the offseason we’ve had, the players that we were able to keep on this roster, the new ones that we’ve added, that we added in the draft and that we’re going to in free agency.

“Generally, nothing is off the table,” he said after drafting Achane.

When Cook sat out Weeks 6 and 17 last season, Mattison combined for 35 touches, 175 yards from scrimmage and two touchdowns.Even though the Dolphins brought back four running backs from last season early in free agency and drafted De’Von Achane in the third round, coach Mike McDaniel has said it’s still possible to add a veteran running back. Mattison has a firm hold on the backup RB job to Dalvin Cook, so the former's usage Saturday likely was to ensure he avoided any sort of health concern. Afterward, Mattison didn't see another touch, while Abdullah got work with both the starters and reserves until halftime. With Dalvin Cook unavailable, Mattison interestingly was on the receiving end of Kirk Cousins' first two passes, but when the Vikings went to the ground Ameer Abdullah garnered the first two rushes. Mattison didn't have a carry and caught both of his targets for 16 yards during Saturday's preseason defeat to the Colts.
