What Will Gase Do With Cameron?

The Dolphins have a new sheriff in town by the name of Adam Gase. He is is an offensive-minded coach, who has had quite a bit of success in his last two teams in Denver and Chicago – and he loves to use Tight Ends. He says he tailors his schemes to the players, but maybe he just has a sweet spot for that position. With a huge contract attached to Jordan Cameron, his handling of this situation will be quite interesting!

Adam Gase loves to utilize his tight ends on offense, which is evident with what he did for Julius Thomas in Denver, and Martellus Bennett and Zach Miller in Chicago. Last year in Chicago Bennett and Miller combined for 87 catches for 878 yards, 8 touchdowns, and 12 plays of 20+ yards. Compare this to Chicago’s top receiver Alson Jeffery who had 54 catches for 807 yards, 4 touchdowns, and 14 plays of 20+ yards. From this comparison, it is obvious, that Gase loved utilizing his tight ends more than his stud wide receiver, and he also likes using his tight ends in the Redzone.

Now compare this to what Miami did with their two tight ends of Jordan Cameron and Dion Sims. These two combined for 53 catches for 513 yards, 4 touchdowns, and 5 plays of 20+ yards. Miami however did do a much better job getting their wide receivers like Landry, Matthews, and Parker involved in the air attack. Most of the best pay per head reviews are betting that Gase will bring more of a balanced passing attack to the Dolphins offense, by utilizing more 2 tight end sets, and taking advantage of tight end match-ups in the red zone.

First, though, the Dolphins need to decide what they want to do with Jordan Cameron. Cameron is set to have a $9.5 million dollar cap hit, with $2 million in dead money for the 2016 season. It will be interesting watching Gase’s take on Cameron. A possible free-agent option at the tight end position would be Adam Gase’s former tight end, Zach Miller. Miller had more yards, and more touchdowns than Cameron, and already has a familiarity with the type of offense that Gase is going to run in Miami. In addition, Miller was only making $660,000 last season, which means he is not going to cost the Dolphins very much. The Dolphins could easily swap Miller for Cameron and theoretically get similar production from the position, while saving themselves at least $5 million in salary-cap space.

If the Dolphins truly want to be in the playoff hunt, then they legitimately need to upgrade several positions on the roster, and the only way they can do that is by paying for better free-agents and by drafting wisely. How does Adam Gase weigh Cameron against his cap number? Does he think that he can have a blockbuster effect or that the huge sum he is making could be spent more wisely elsewhere? What do the rest of the Miami Dolphins news fans see as his direction?

    Coming off a 6-10 record I wouldn’t negotiate to much.

    If we can sign Miller and also restructure Cameron we should keep both and also Sims ? If so that would allow us to play 2 tight ends at the same time a lot more often specially in the red zone – that would allow us hopefully to score more per game

    When it is stated that way, is there any question what direction team should move. If Gase likes Cameron’s potential then restructure, but in no way can he play under current contract. Free agency 5 days away, 3 million over the cap, people have to start to mov’in.
