Previously, we’ve mentioned the Miami Dolphins’ Ring of Honor and who ought to be future additions to the record of 24 gamers and two head coaches at present within the Ring of Honor. The final inductee was former Dolphins defensive deal with Tim Bowens, who was honored late final season at halftime in opposition to the Arizona Cardinals. Earlier than Bowens’ induction, the earlier addition went again to 2014, when one other former defensive deal with, Manny Fernandez, was inducted.
Past the ring of honor, the Miami Dolphins bestow a fair larger honor on former gamers. That’s the dignity of getting their jersey quantity retired by the staff, that means no different participant will ever put on that quantity once more except the staff, the participant, and/or their household make an exception. A very good instance of the type of exception which may happen sooner or later was when former Houston Oilers (now the Tennessee Titans) quarterback Warren Moon confirmed up at former Miami Hurricanes quarterback Cam Ward’s introduction ceremony for the Titans, the place he gave Ward his new jersey along with his previously returned number one on it.
The record of “formally retired Miami Dolphins jersey numbers is short-
#12 (Bob Griese): Retired in 1982
#13 (Dan Marino): Retired in 2000
#39 (Larry Csonka): Retired in 2002
Two different gamers have their numbers unofficially retired, as nobody has been assigned them since their enjoying days with the team-
#54 (Zach Thomas): Whereas not formally retired, no different participant has worn this quantity since Thomas retired.
#99 (Jason Taylor): No different participant has worn this quantity since Taylor’s departure.
So tonight’s query of the day is:
What different gamers, if any, ought to have their former jersey numbers retired by the Miami Dolphins sooner or later, and why?
