While the Miami Dolphins made headlines this offseason with their aggressiveness both in free agency and the draft (including trading up to No. 3 overall to snag Dion Jordan), the team did have a nice base of talent on the roster already. One of the most productive returning defenders on the team is S Reshad Jones, and along with the additions made, Jones was expected to have another strong campaign. There's just one problem: he missed the start of OTAs this week, and there could be more trouble ahead.

However, after the team shifted to a 3-4 alignment under new HC Chuck Pagano, the TCU product had his best season as a pro, with 41 tackles and four sacks. Nevertheless, the team dealt him this offseason to Buffalo in exchange for Kelvin Sheppard.
