The Phinsider
Teams have all-time great players who usually earn that title primarily due to their performance on the field. Then there are those players who may or may not be considered all-time greats but are fan favorites during their time playing for the team for various reasons. Maybe it’s their on-field and off-the-field leadership, perhaps it's their community involvement, or maybe it’s simply the effort they put in every play, regardless of their natural talent level. These are the individuals you would like to see stick around after their playing days. They are the players who help instill the kind of culture you want within the team, even when they are no longer on the field. I had a lot of that on my mind when Terron Armstead decided to retire, and with that, I asked the following question:
Given his proven leadership, would you like to see the Dolphins extend Armstead the offer of a position with the organization that can continue to pay benefits for the team? Besides Terron, are there other former players that you would like to see the team bring back in a different role? What about other guys who are currently playing? Do you see a possible future role for them with the team when their playing days are over?
Below are your thoughts and answers on the PQOTD-
610WIOD believes he probably has better options, but I still think that even if that’s the case, the Dolphins should reach out and see if he would like to retain a role in a game that he clearly loves.
The real question is whether he’d want a job in the organization. He strikes me as a guy with lots of (better) options.
21Dave doesn’t believe he wants to be a coach. I was thinking more of something in the front office or maybe the scouting department.
In most cases, this sounds like a good idea for the Phins, but bringing him back as a coach or assistant coach would not sound fun for him. Most coaches are at the building more often and longer than the players. Maybe something he would considering 5-10 years but he doesn’t need the money and sounds like he enjoys his normal life as well.
DolphinsKings1 has some good ideas for adding T-Stead to the fold.
T-Stead is a rap artist he has other endeavors for sure. But, I think if anything a commentator with the Dolphins Broadcast or something like an a advisor like Danny.
SuperG! thinks the team should reach out to another former Phins great.
What’s Cam Wake doing these days? I always kind of saw him as someone who would be a good fit for a coaching role.
twinssdfan makes a good point; he might want some time off. That being said, you could still extend an open offer to a guy that is well worth it.
The F.O. could offer him a position i think the bigger question would he...
