Cracraft back

the Dolphins activated River Cracraft off the IR. and how did they make room for him...

To make room for Cracraft, the Dolphins waived cornerback Kelvin Joseph. A 2021 second-round pick whom Miami acquired from the Dallas Cowboys for Noah Igbinoghene on roster cutdown day, Joseph appeared in four games, primarily on special teams. He was inactive in four of the team’s last five games.

and there it is. the end of the Iggy saga. the Phins have gotta get some good karma now, right?

Cracraft coming back is going to be under the radar on a national level, but it's huge for the Dolphins. He understands exactly what McD wants, and he has a knack for getting open and making key plays. Very good route runner, and he can block.

Kelvin Joseph was always going to be expendable, but at least we got 4 games out of him - probably more than we would have gotten from Iggy.

I wonder who gets cut when Achane gets added to the roster? Maybe Chosen?

You know who *my* choice would be. At least Chosen did something. Even one long TD catch is still better than You Know Who has or will contribute.

Spoiler alert: his name rhymes with stay cool

Claypool did have a key block on a TD and recovered a fumble, so he has contributed something.

hahaha.

but its a good question. looking at the depth chart, i would have to think Chosen or Cameron Goode, but maybe Goode has ST value. at DB, perhaps Needham & Ramsey's return makes Bethel or Apple expendable (does Apple play ST?). it probably should be Cam Smith, but they aren't gonna part ways with him. perhaps someone else gets mysteriously injured in practice and goes on the IR creating an open space?

bite your tongue!!

another thought about JMP's question... with Mostert, Wilson and now Achane soon to return, could the Phins waive Ahmed thinking he won't get picked up and they re-sign him to the PS?

I thought about that too. With Brooks probably gone for the season, I'd hang onto Ahmed because of the injury history of Mostert, Wilson and now Achane. You're right that he may not get picked up by another team, but it is possible.

You literally just gave me an idea on how Grier could get Carter just in time for him to spill the beans on the Jets, MUAHAHAHAHA!!!

Not sure there's much to spill about the Jets' offense!

Now how do you know that's who I was referring to, hmm?

Besides, you don't trade for a WR so he can have one decent block all season and nothing else. A practice squad guy could do that much.

Claypool's acquisition was all about his size/speed/athleticism, upside, and blocking ability. You're not finding that on a practice squad.

Carter is signed by Phins. They question him.

"Tell us about the Jets Offense?"

Carter: "They suck!"

"Yeah, that goes along with our research. What about Zach?"

Carter: "He sucks! But don't never introduce him to your mother or heck, even your grandmother!!"



I don't think Carter will make it all the way through waivers will he?

And the Jets have Izzy Abanikanda, a much better RB than Carter IMO, ready to come back I think?

i'd watch the Berrios hamstring injury too. he might be a convenient add to the temporary IR to make space for Achane. he really hasn't done much of note - and i'm sure someone else can return punts and kicks - especially as Cracraft should take some of his offensive snaps.
