In some respects, the Miami Dolphins are having a season that they haven’t had in decades.
They have a 6-3 record, which is tied for second in the AFC, and they are undoubtedly the best offensive club in the NFL, ranking first in points scored and total yards.
While wide receiver Tyreek Hill is having a career year and Jaylen Waddle has shown to be an excellent WR2, the Dolphins may need a third playmaker at the position.
Robbie Chosen has failed to be the third consistent playmaker, and Miami dismissed him on Thursday, according to Dov Kleiman.

Chosen, formerly Robbie Anderson, was a fairly good wide receiver who had over 1,000 receiving yards as late as 2020.
In 2016, he went undrafted out of Temple University, but his ability to run the 40-yard dash in sub 4.4 seconds earned him a seat on the New York Jets.
The Dolphins’ main problem appears to be their poor defense and inability to beat quality opponents this season.
They have easily defeated middling and bad teams, but their three losses have come against the Buffalo Bills, Philadelphia Eagles, and Kansas City Chiefs.
Their future schedule appears to be manageable, but their final three games will be against the Dallas Cowboys, Baltimore Ravens, and Buffalo Bills, and those three games could determine if they have a chance to play in the Super Bowl.
In fact, if they perform poorly in those games, they could fall out of contention for the playoffs.
