diamondbull424 Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Sheesh Winfield Jr and Dugger better watch their back. Sounds like someone’s pulling out some rookie safety Voodoo or something. Hopefully they both are able to bounce back strongly next season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turnobili Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 i keep people say the dolphins "had to" waive curtis weaver before placing him on IR as a rookie... but i get the feeling that Delpit/McKinney will wind up on the IR as rookies without being waived 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dolphins clearly wanted a roster spot and were willing to risk another team claiming Weaver to get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minutemancl Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 That's a shame. It's not an immediate huge loss, as I would expect about 99.8% of rookies to not contribute immediately this year due to the shortened and weird preseason, but it will stunt his development for sure. We will most likely get him back at some point this year, which is good. Hopefully he can make the most of mental reps and meetings and hit the ground running in October/November. In the meantime, this just makes Julian Love even more important than he was previously, which was already pretty damn important (@Forge ). Our 3 safety sets got a lot less exciting though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
