AUTHOR: Matt Cunha That past few days have been a very unsettling to Fins fans all across the country. Miami started off by trading of their best (and one of the league’s best) wide receivers Jarvis Landry to the Cleveland Browns on Friday. In return they received a 2018 4th-round pick and a 2019 7th-round pick. Then on Monday Jeff Darlington of ESPN reported that Miami will be releasing DT Ndamukong Suh. These two big moves come along with the Jay Ajayi trade during the 2017-2018 season to the Eagles. Now before I go into a rant let’s talk about why Miami did this. Financially this is good for the team, they get rid of SUH's outrageous contract. Also, they take Landry's 16 million off the books as well. If Miami did end up keeping Landry then it would have cost them a stupid amount. I don't like to admit it but these moves were needed. Before the trade Miami had virtually no cap room to do anything. This now allows them to try and do something this off season. The other more thought-provoking reason is that Adam Gase wants to change the mindset and attitude around the locker room. Gase wants guys that are there to play football not get paid. I guess there was more going on in the locker room than met the eye. I have been a fan of this team for all my life I have been through all the ups and downs of this organization for the last decade. After a while you just start to question more than just the team’s ability to perform, but the more you start to question the organization as a whole. Miami has been through this "rebuilding process" many times in the last decade and have never been able to pull it off. Every time this happens us fans get more and more frustrated because we lose a little more faith every time. Right now, it’s looking like it’s going to be a fire sail in Miami and it’s getting harder and harder to look forward to the 2018-2019 season for Miami. It's really starting to seem like Miami is turning into the new Cleveland, and until they figure it out that is the way that I am looking at this team. I am a Miami Dolphin fan for life and I will always sick with my team no matter what. Only time will tell what will be in store for Miami's future and my wellbeing.
