TE Anthony Fasano with the Kansas City Chiefs
While the biggest news of the day was Miami signing the top free agent receiver on the market in Mike Wallace, my attention is focused on former Dolphin tight end Anthony Fasano signing with the Kansas City Chiefs.
Fasano has been my favorite Dolphin for the past few years now and it is extremely disappointing to see him go. The Dolphins made a push for Jared Cook to replace Fasano at tight end, but Cook ended up signing with the Rams, so Jeff Ireland better know what he's doing here. It seems so unnecessary to me to draft a tight end early when we could have just kept Fasano.
There is also a chance Miami could end up re-signing either Jake Long or Sean Smith. Both guys are seeing how much they can get elsewhere, but it's definitely possible one or both come back. I don't expect them to, but anything can happen right now.
