As we get ready for the madness that is free agency, we take a look at the status of the Miami Dolphins' roster, as well as the needs and potential solutions for each area of the roster.

Must Reads
This may be the most boring of the series, as the Dolphins are set at quarterback for this season. Assuming they place a qualifying tender on Pat Devlin, there probably will not be any change to the signal callers this year.
Potentially, Matt Moore could be released for salary cap space, but with some $35 million still remaining against the cap, they can keep the veteran backup one more season as they continue to develop Ryan Tannehill.
Top 5 Free Agents:
| Rank | Player | 2013 Team |

| 4 | Rex Grossman | Washington Redskins |
| 5 | Josh Freeman | Minnesota Vikings |
Top 5 Draft Prospects:
| Rank | Player | College |

Nogle's Offseason Projection:
A boring position this year, which is really a good thing, the quarterbacks probably wind up looking exactly like they did last year. I believe in selecting a quarterback each year in the draft, so I will predict the team does that. They will then have a decision to make during training camp, which could wind up being releasing the rookie, Moore, or Devlin. A player like Tajh Boyd late could make a lot of sense, if you are willing to give him time to develop.
