Speaking with reporters Monday, Dolphins owner Stephen Ross said "free agency certainly isn't the answer."
"We've all seen that," Ross said. Ross did allow that he's "willing to spend whatever it takes to build it," but it certainly doesn't sound like Miami is aiming to make a big splash in free agency. The Dolphins have been frequently connected to impending free agent receivers, particularly Dwayne Bowe. Ross is right in his belief that rebuilding teams are best off building through the draft, but Miami's receiver corps is more than a pick or two away from being viable. If Ross opens his wallet up for any position this offseason, it should be wideout.

He's not saying Miami won't add some pieces in FA, he's just saying they aren't rebuilding their roster with that approach. I think its reasonable to assume one or two big signings.

Truth is we have some money. He would be a fool if he doesn't encourage our FO to get a fairly big FA

I imagine if we just signed our rookies and our existing free agents, we wouldn't reach that minimum level. We are going to have to be a player in FA. And that's good.
