When the Miami Dolphins let Andrew Van Ginkel leave in free agency, it was a huge mistake. It doesn't matter how Chris Grier and the Dolphins want to spin it; it was a mistake. Replacing him with Shaquil Barrett was as well.
To be fair to the Dolphins, they couldn't have known that Barrett would abruptly retire nine days before the start of training camp. They also had no idea that Barrett would request to be reinstated by the NFL between Weeks 12 and 13. Now, Miami has a huge decision to make.
