The lightbulb appeared to have flickered with the Dolphins, as Charlton notched 5 sacks throughout 5 begins (10 appearances) in 2019. He even managed to drop Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott amid a Week three assembly of the groups. However the Michigan product was a wholesome scratch for the ultimate two weeks of the season, the writing on the wall … once more.
Charlton will hit the waiver wire and would revert to unrestricted free company if not claimed. Nonetheless solely 25, it’s potential he’s granted a 3rd likelihood by a defensive-needy or pass-rush-friendly group that feels able to harnessing his theoretical upside.
Taco’s beginning days, nevertheless, are doubtless completed. Discarded by each his authentic membership and a lowly franchise deep within the rebuilding part, it’s protected to formally label him a bust.
