Another chance to laugh at the Dolphins is always great.<\/p>\n

\"Dolphins<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

This won\u2019t be surprising for those who paid attention at the time of the 2020 NFL Draft. ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter reports the Miami Dolphins offered the Cincinnati Bengals four first-round picks for the No. 1 overall pick, which was obviously quarterback Joe Burrow out of LSU.<\/p>\n

What might be surprising is that that is all they offered. The Dolphins had five first-round picks between the 2020 and 2021 NFL Drafts. Even that wouldn\u2019t have done it, as the Bengals were not having any of these negotiations<\/p>\n

The Bengals declined to even engage in discussions and shut down the trade inquiry before it could gain any traction, according to sources.<\/p>\n

Again, none of this is surprising, given how many people were saying the Bengals should take whatever bounty the Dolphins offered, since they needed to fill so many holes outside of Burrow.<\/p>\n

\"Dolphins<\/p>\n

Well, five seasons later, Burrow is a top quarterback who ended Cincinnati\u2019s playoff drought, took them to a Super Bowl, and another AFC Championship game.<\/p>\n

Miami made the playoffs twice without a win and is benching Tua Tagovailoa ahead of Sunday\u2019s game against the Bengals.<\/p>\n

Safe to say the Bengals made the right call in never even letting the Dolphins get past calling to inform them of what they were willing to offer initially.<\/p>\n

Also, Burrow got to avoid the quarterback graveyard that is Miami post-Dan Marino.<\/p>\n

Any chance to laugh again in the face of people who said Cincinnati should trade the pick away with any seriousness. And a lesson that stockpiling picks doesn\u2019t always mean you can go get whatever pick you want.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
