MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — After losing a handful key contributors in free agency and releasing several more to save money, the Miami Dolphins used the NFL draft to add depth with players they feel can develop into starters. General manager Chris Grier has taken win-now approach over the past two seasons, adding pricey stars including Tyreek Hill and Jalen Ramsey through free agency and making trades to build a contending roster. Grier still wants to win, even after selecting several players with raw talent but in need of coaching and development. “We’re always talking about how we think the player fits in or what he can contribute this year possibly,” Grier said. “There’s no guarantees or absolutes, but we feel strongly in the players and believe in them. And we’re still trying to win this year. This is not about worrying about two, three years down the line. We’re all about having the best team possible to win games this season.” |
