The Miami Dolphins made a significant move in free agency by signing Calais Campbell, aiming to strengthen their chances in the AFC. However, Campbell’s addition didn’t fully address the gap left by Christian Wilkins’ departure to the Las Vegas Raiders on a $110 million deal.
To address this, analysts are exploring ways the Dolphins can further bolster their roster. Bleacher Report suggests that Miami should consider signing Carlos Watkins from the Washington Commanders’ practice squad.
The article notes that while Campbell’s arrival was a notable addition, the team still needs to replace Wilkins’ impact. Campbell, despite his impressive performance last season, is 37 and has been playing fewer snaps over recent years. Watkins, a former fourth-round pick from 2017, has shown promise but struggled with injuries and had a short stint with the Los Angeles Rams.
Bringing in Watkins could provide valuable rotational depth, and while the focus is often on immediate upgrades, acquiring talent from practice squads might be a strategic move that benefits the Dolphins in the long run.
