In the days before the Miami Dolphins officially introduced Jon-Eric Sullivan as the team's new general manager, he ticked off about four players by name that he referred to as cornerstone pieces. Players he could build the team around.
Jaylen Waddle, Aaron Brewer, Patrick Paul, Jordyn Brooks, and of course, De'Von Achane. Miami, however, isn't in a position to keep them. Miami needs draft capital to build the roster. They need money to build a team. Fans won't like it, but by the time the Dolphins are competitive, not all of these players will be given another contract.
