Dolphins happy with roster after tough cuts ahead of season

Associated Press  

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — A years-long rebuild has led the Miami Dolphins to a point of excitement with their 2022 prospects. General manager Chris Grier, who has overseen the dismantling and reconstruction of the Dolphins’ roster since 2019, said the team feels good about its roster after making cuts — difficult ones, he emphasized — ahead of Tuesday’s NFL-mandated 53-man roster deadline. We feel good about the roster, and excited for what it could be in the future.” Part of the Dolphins’ preseason has been about allowing third-year quarterback Tua Tagovailoa to get used to a new offensive system with the new weapons the team has planted around him. Grier said the team planned to watch the waiver wire for potential additions, but he feels good about the group that they have at defensive back.. Miami kept eight offensive linemen after Tuesday’s cuts, though the Dolphins are likely to add more. How the offensive line looks has been a question all preseason, but McDaniel said he’s excited about the way their tackles have performed.. Two teams called about tight end Mike Gesicki, Grier said, but the Dolphins had no plans of getting rid of him.
