The Lions opted against tagging Kenny Golladay, and the rebuilding team now risks losing its No. 1 wide receiver in free agency next week. A team that resided in the rebuilding phase recently will almost certainly make a strong pitch.
Expected to pursue multiple receiver upgrades, the Dolphins are believed to have significant interest in adding Golladay, Adam Beasley of the Miami Herald notes. While they will have company, should Golladay indeed hit the market, Beasley adds the team is “determined” to sign a No. 1 wide receiver.
With Allen Robinson and Chris Godwin being tagged Tuesday, Golladay best fits this description. Though A.J. Green and T.Y. Hilton have better resumes, both are north of 30. Golladay is older for a 2017 draftee, being set to turn 28 this year, and is coming off an injury-marred season. But the tags for Godwin and Robinson ensure the four-year Lions contributor will have a strong market. Hilton, however, is believed to be interested in joining the Dolphins. It is not yet clear if Golladay joins the longtime Colt in that regard.
As of Tuesday, the Dolphins hold nearly $35MM in cap space. Also expected to pursue Golladay, the Giants opted to keep Leonard Williams off the market with a tag that will be worth just more than $19MM or just more than $21MM. The Dolphins would have an edge here, with a Williams tag putting the Giants over the cap currently. The 6-foot-4 Golladay has two 1,000-yard seasons on his resume.
Miami has DeVante Parker signed to a long-term deal but is planning to augment its receiving group, which does have major questions otherwise. The Dolphins are also interested in signing Aaron Jones, who did not receive a tag from the Packers. The Dolphins will be a key team to monitor when the legal tampering period begins March 15.
Why would you go to the dolphins to have noodle armed Tua throw you passes?
You clearly haven’t seen Tua throw.
I don’t even think Stabby McShank is his real name.
Tua looks like he has to put all his energy into throwing it 20 yards. Might just be because he is a lefty.
English please
Agree
Uhh…..money
They already have Parker, Williams, Ford and Grant. Not to mention Gesicki at TE. And they want to add Golladay?
It’s always better to add quality depth rather than see an All-Pro talent go to a division rival.
Lol yes, behind Parker the Fins WR’s are very suspect
Ford is an excellent Special Teams. Not a consistently good WR.
Parker has Pro Bowl talent and in 2019 played like one. But injury is always a problem.
Williams is talented but is always injured.
Grant is an elite punt/kick returner / very meh WR.
Dolphins need Galladay.
If Fins can get Galladay then drafting a WR won’t be a need with Sewell in play for the 3rd but ideally Fins need to trade on and get more picks.
Only a good move if they can get Watson.
Would Golladay really want to play second fiddle to Parker if he signed with the Dolphins?
Seems like his production, or at least his targets would definitely go down with an equal in Parker which would probably impact not only his guarantee but his years in a contract also.
Best bet is he goes somewhere he can max his contract and be the #1 guy.
Golladay would be the #1 receiver in MIA
Golladay, Parker, draft a slot.. Besides Parker is injury prone year in and year out. Grant- cut, Covid Wilson- cut, Ford- keep around- smart receiver. Keep the guy they traded for from the Raiders.
I like the idea of signing golladay and then grabbing a player like kadarius toney or rashod Bateman in the 2nd I still think you take kyle pitts at 3
