The Splash Zone 7/18/23: Are the Miami Dolphins contenders?

Miami Dolphins rookies report for training camp tomorrow and it’s hard to believe that football is just right around the corner. Expectations for this team are sky-high among Dolphin fans after the team made some changes over the offseason. The two big acquisitions of defensive back Jalen Ramsey and defensive coordinator Vic Fangio generated a ton of buzz.
