The Miami Dolphins had their hands full with Buffalo's top two wide receivers Stefon Diggs and Gabriel Davis.  That group will look very different next season with Diggs off to Houston and Davis now with Jacksonville. 

However, there will be a familiar face among that group, at least during the offseason.  Former Dolphin Chase Claypool is reportedly joining the Bills. 

While the Dolphins have deepened an already top-tier wide receiver room with Malik Washington and Tahj Washington being drafted last week and Odell Beckham, Jr. signing today, the Bills haven't been able to match their divisional rival.  They added Mack Hollins, Curtis Samuel, and now Claypool in free agency while drafting Florida State WR Keon Coleman in the second round of the draft last week. 

Advantage: Dolphins. 

Claypool came over to the Dolphins last season in early October as part of a late-round draft pick trade with the Chicago Bears.  It goes without saying that Claypool failed to make much of an impact in South Florida.  He appeared in 9 games for Miami last year, recording just 4 catches for 26 yards. 

Surely the Bills aren't done making moves to improve their wide receiver corps.  Because if they are, then the Miami Dolphins' defense will be dancing a jig in relief.
