The Dolphins will move on from one of its first-round defensive linemen. They waived Taco Charlton on Thursday. Miami initially claimed Charlton off waivers from Dallas last season.
Charlton did not live up to expectations with the Cowboys, who used a first-round pick on him in 2017, but did lead the 2019 Dolphins in sacks with five despite playing in only 10 games with Miami. No other Dolphin totaled more than 3.5 last season.
Miami signed multiple defensive ends this offseason — Shaq Lawson and Emmanuel Ogbah — and added hybrid player Kyle Van Noy but did not make a substantial investment in the position during the draft. The Dolphins used a fifth-round pick on defensive end Jason Strowbridge.
Given Charlton’s draft pedigree and production in limited Dolphins time last season, he will be a tempting waiver claim — especially when teams can carry 90 players on their respective rosters. Charlton, though, recorded just four sacks in two seasons with the Cowboys. Dallas waived him in September of last year.
Lions should grab him. They need end support and depth would be nice.
He could add some meat to their line.
Chicken or beef?
Lettuce have both!
Lmao
Agreed.
100% agree at worst the back depth needs some help
Giants should take a flyer
I agree as a Giants fan, he’s young, he showed great flashes last year, and the Giants are in full rebuild mode so it wouldn’t hurt to take a look.
Dave Gettleman: “I could probably get a contract extension if I treat the fans to a Taco with Peppers”.
Lol
If they can’t re-sign Markus Golden, why not give it a shot?
This guy must be really bad if hes moving onto his 3rd team before his rookie contract is up
He had 5 sacks is 10 games. What’s bad about that?
Something is bad about it, if he’s going to his 3rd team before his rookie deal is up lol.
Expect it to be 4 teams once Jim Harbaugh returns to the NFL.
he just didn’t fit in Dallas but in Miami he did well but with miami making moves this offseason they knew he wouldn’t be a long term fit and or they didn’t feel he would continue his production
Lions please
Seahawks will sign him. They always go after former first round picks.
Raiders
No TACO in Miami for Cinco de Mayo !!
I’d rather have Tacko Fall. What QB could avoid his reach?
Wouldn’t matter. Any OL could just merely shove him and he’d topple over like a redwood.
He certainly has the speed of a tree.
He’s a street taco again
nentwigs should come see you for lines (although I gotta admit he’s getting better).
Mitch needs to carve out a niche for himself using Vince Flynn material…lol.
Patriots
If Pats got Taco and Dalton as FA it would be a solid offseason for them
Lol
Soft taco with red sauce
Its not a solid offseason for them. They lost Van Noy, a few others they don’t come to my mind right now and of course Brady. That could boost their offseason from 0% to 25% but don’t go out thinking the Patriots had a solid offseason after losing stars and gaining average players.
Steelers like Michigan players.
They like Pittsburgh players most. Drafted 46 of those. Notre Dame is their favorite out of state source. Drafted 37 players from there.
Watch Belicheck, and his hilarious self announce they’ve signed Charlton come Tuesday…lol
[Insert another lame Taco joke here]
Now, that’s over with, Charlton could actually provide several contending teams with some quality DL depth for their rotation.
I certainly wouldn’t mind the 49ers taking a shot, and have Taco and Hyder battle it out for one of their backup spots as an edge pass rushing specialist..
Either Taco Charlton or even adding Cameron Wake couldn’t hurt to add some more depth/competition..
Would TACO wear number 55?
As in
May 5th = Cinco de Mayo ??
BTW
In these tough COVID-19 times,
If purchasing MAYO to celebrate Cinco de Mayo
is out of the question
One can always celebrate Cinco de Miracle Whip instead !!
They should of waited for Tuesday. He can have a whole day to himself
