May The Schwartz Be With You!

Everyone knows that Miami needs a guard, and most who read my articles know Osemele would be my first option to improve the Guard position on their offensive line. But there are quite a few talented Guards that were released by various teams in order to clear cap space. Miami has begun to show interest in at least one of them, according to Jason Cole of the Bleacher Report.

The former New York Giants Guard Geoff Schwartz, is 29 years old who is 6’6”, 340 pounds. He was on the third year of his four years $16.8 million dollar contract, but the Giants decided to release him in order to free up just around $3 million in cap space. He only played in 11 games last season, because he was put on injured reserve with a fractured ankle. However, during his 11 games, pro football focus rated him as the 22nd best Guard out of 82 possible players.

Both the Dolphins and Schwartz have both mutually expressed interest, which clearly makes sense because Schwartz would immediately be plugged in as one of the starting guards, and Schwartz is currently searching for a starting job. Also, unlike Osemele he won’t command top dollar, which could work towards helping them fill all their holes. The only downside, he might end up better as an RG and it’s the LG that is more crucial and harder to acquire.

The bottom line is that Schwartz may not be the best Guard on the market, however, it doesn’t take the best pay per head reviews to figure out he is definitely an upgrade over Thomas and Turner. In addition, Schwartz will also be affordable, with the Dolphins only probably needing to spend around $2 to $4 million on his 2016 salary.

The fact is that Miami needs to acquire two Guards that can replace both Thomas and Turner, because neither player has shown that they can be anything more than a backup depth type player – although, I do believe Dallas might have a shot at the RG slot. Schwartz would be a good starting point for the Dolphins Guard makeover, leaving them with just one more Guard position to improve on before this unit will no longer be a thorn in the Dolphins side. What are the rest of the Miami Dolphins News fans’ thoughts about possibly signing Schwartz?

    Schwartz is a start, and being ranked 22 out of 82 guards is decent. We could do much, much worse (see Thomas, Turner). Plugs a hole, I’m for it. Save the big $ for CB or another guard/tackle or LBer.

      Hole plugger with a possibility of more if he move to RG…a little big for LG. 6’6” 340 is monstrous!!

    Two key facts
    1. 22nd best Guard out of 82 possible players.
    2. The bottom line is that Schwartz may not be the best Guard on the market,

      I see him like the Grimes signing a few season ago…on IR two seasons in arow, but talented. Get him for a song and dance, knowing he’ll get his shot back at the big time with Miami;s vacant G spots…if he pans out a couple of good years on the cheap. IF not toss ’em…still would prefer Osemele!!
