It’s free agency week for the NFL, meaning we’ll have plenty to talk about this week as the Miami Dolphins makes some roster moves. Before the weekend began, the Dolphins restructured some contracts to create plenty of cap space so they can do some spending this week. Since the season ended, backup quarterback has been a big area of discussion surrounding this team. Starting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa has yet to play a full season due to injuries so the team has to find a capable backup to win with when and if Tua cannot play on gameday. One name that seems to be in connection with the Dolphins is Philadelphia Eagles backup, Gardner Minshew.

You can check out that story here, and the rest of the day’s round-up below.
