Description: Miami Dolphins face a franchise-defining crossroads as Kyle Crabbs exposes the staggering gap between the Dolphins’ and Green Bay Packers’ philosophies on NFL free agency. With Miami’s front office—led by new GM John Eric Sullivan—preaching draft-and-develop, the data tells a harsh story: the Dolphins handed out hoards of contracts over $2.5 million annually to outside free agents since 2020, while the Packers inked just six.
