Miami Dolphins

Traditionally the Miami Dolphins have been great about cultivating their own successful offensive linemen. It’s been that way since the team’s inception back in the 1960s. Yet there is at least one they’d probably like to have back. Wade Smith was a 3rd round pick for them in 2003. He started out strong as their left tackle as a rookie. Things went a little sideways over the next couple years as he missed all but six games.

The Dolphins ran out of patience by that point and released him in 2006. Smith went to the Jets for a time and began to recover himself later in Kansas City where they switched him to left guard. So when he signed with the Houston Texans in 2010, he’d recovered some of his old form. That was proven when he made the Pro Bowl in 2012. Miami had a legitimate excuse to let him leave but they may have acted too soon.
