Miami has a lot of needs this offseason. Their offensive line was a mess last year, their solid defense is changing schemes, and they can’t make explosive plays on offense.

Before they get to all that, their needs start at the quarterback position. The Dolphins will be mentioned prominently in all Peyton Manning and Matt Flynn chatter leading up to free agency.

We’re going to watch Miami’s interest in Flynn closely. If coach Joe Philbin and company don’t go hard after Flynn, it should be a red flag to the rest of the league.

Flynn is one of the toughest big free agent quarterbacks ever to evaluate. He has barely played in the NFL. Philbin is the one that knows him best, so he’s in the best position by far to know if Flynn is a true franchise quarterback.
