Your thoughts on an 18 game season!

Your thoughts on an 18 game season!

Last week, I pointed out that Rodger Goodell had once again brought up that the NFL would eventually like to expand to an 18-game schedule. I also put up a poll. The results of the survey were somewhat mixed, with 5% or 7 of you not caring either way, 29% or 43 of you not in favor of the extra game, 31% or 46 of you in favor of adding a game, and 36% or 54 of you in favor but with the addition of another bye week for the players.

I also asked the following question-

Contract details for Odell Beckham Jr.’s one-year deal with Dolphins

Contract details for Odell Beckham Jr.’s one-year deal with Dolphins

Void years, incentives, and more are included in Odell Beckham Jr.’s one-year deal with the Dolphins.

The Miami Dolphins will be a new-look team in 2024. That much, we know.

This offseason, the Dolphins’ roster underwent major changes, with multiple key players departing in free agency. However, the Dolphins were quick to bring in replacements, and spent a hefty sum doing so.

You sound off on the signing of Beckham!

Last week, I asked the question:

Are you happy with this signing (of Odell Beckham), or would you have been happier to see them roll with whatever they already had on the roster? What do you think he adds to the already talent-stacked offensive roster?

Below are some of your answers-

Which positions saw the most improvement this offseason - The Splash Zone 5/9/24

Welcome to the Splash Zone, the quickest way to get your day started off right. We bring you a rundown of Miami Dolphins news from the last 24 hours.

The Miami Dolphins added several players this offseason in the hopes that they can actually win a playoff game this upcoming season instead of being one and done in the postseason. One player who should provide a big boost to the Dolphins is tight end, Jonnu Smith. The Dolphins didn’t have a receiving tight at tight end last season and Smtih is a perfect fit for the Mike McDaniel offense. Are...
