When the Miami Dolphins released both Brian Hartline and Brandon Gibson, they signaled the beginning of a new era at wide receiver.
Their depth chart, once loaded with veteran talent, is now down to scant recognizable names. Mike Wallace and Jarvis Landry provide a solid starting foundation for the wide receiver room, but beyond those two, the Dolphins have some serious question marks.
That being said, by releasing Hartline and Gibson, the Dolphins give themselves an opportunity to change the identity of their passing game for the better. One area they have been struggling in is the red area; with so few big-bodied pass-catchers at their disposal, the Dolphins have not been able to create mismatches and win with size in tight spaces.
Beyond simply big bodies, though, the Dolphins should be looking for receivers who are better fits for Bill Lazor's offense, which calls for more short and intermediate throws with receivers creating their own yards after the catch.
Here is a look at a handful of players who could help change the face of the Dolphins offense.
