The Miami Dolphins just got a lot more interesting. On Mar. 23, the team traded for wide receiver Tyreek Hill from the Kansas City Chiefs. The move, coming just after the team signed tackle Terron Armstead in free agency, gives the Dolphins a complete overhaul and suddenly makes them feel like they can be a factor in the AFC.
In the trade for Hill, the Dolphins sent their first- and second-round picks in next month’s NFL Draft, so he was not cheap to add to the roster. However, he fits perfectly into head coach Mike McDaniel’s vision of the offense. Wide receiver Keion Crossen, added in free agency this year, explained his first impression of what McDaniel wants for the Dolphins, saying, “Obviously he loves speed. I think that’s one thing he mentioned to me for sure.”
The Dolphins have speed and they have a lot of it now.

Will free agency set up the Dolphins for a playoff run in 2022 after two straight winning seasons but no postseason appearances? Will it impact the team’s odds to win the Super Bowl? According to DraftKings Sportsbook, the Dolphins are currently 21st in terms of odds to win the Super Bowl, sitting at +5000 (bet $100 to win $5,000). For the AFC East, the Dolphins are third at +600. The Buffalo Bills are the favorites at -200, while the New England Patriots are second at +340 and the New York Jets are fourth at +2200. How will those odds change as free agency kicks off?
Odds update: As of Mar 23, the Dolphins are now +3500 to win the Super Bowl and +400 to win the AFC East. They are now tied with the Patriots for second in the division, with the Bills at -190.
