‘Grier is just taking a little power nap’: Miami Dolphins fans react to Nik Needham’s curious post -ANHTRUC.

With NFL free agency in full swing, veteran cornerback Nik Needham made a curious post on X on Saturday morning, perhaps implying that he’s stuck playing the waiting game right now.

Even though Needham’s post didn’t indicate that he’s waiting for a deal from the Miami Dolphins specifically, some fans of the team still reacted to his post. Plenty of those fans seem to want Needham to stick around with the franchise.

Needham has played only for the Dolphins during his NFL career and was especially effective early on in his tenure with the team. He played 12-plus games in each of his first three seasons in the league and was on track to keep that trend going in his fourth season before he suffered a torn Achilles.

He recored exactly two interceptions in each of his first three NFL season (giving him six total).

Probably the top moment of Needham’s early-career stretch with Miami came when he had an interception return for a touchdown in the 2021 season. That came in a win Miami had over the New Orleans Saints in December of that year, and the victory marked the Dolphins’ seventh in a row at the time.

But Needham has seen his role with Miami’s defensive unit dwindle since his injury, and he barely saw the field in the 2024 season. He appeared in just two games and totaled one combined tackle. Needham saw the field in Miami’s win over the New England Patriots on Oct. 6 and the team’s loss to the Indianapolis Colts on Oct. 20.

Maybe it would be in the best interest of Needham’s career for him sign with a team other than the Dolphins after his name wasn’t called all that often in Anthony Weaver’s maiden season as the team’s defensive coordinator.

Hopefully, he will have an opportunity for consistent playing time in the 2025 campaign, whether that be as part of the Dolphins or another team. He’s only 28 years old, and he may still have productive football left in the tank and be capable of making an impact at the NFL level if given the chance.
