***Official Miami Dolphins Thread pt 2 - Reek Out***

lol look at you two go on and on

when he signs with the dolphins soon i expect an apology

 

Pac Man's rebirth as a good christian man will be tested when the team makes a trip to king of diamonds every week

 

says the guy who posts the fake adam schefter tweets on the nfl thread

 

"Reports" the #Eagles swapped 1st rd picks w/ Dolphins and also received a 4th rd pick are erroneous, I'm told. Patience, young Skywalkers.

 

omg how dumb are you

 

Seems to be from Jeff McLane, who is one of the better Eagles reporters

 

Correct.

No team has spent more in free agency the last 4 yrs than the Dolphins. Records:
6-10 '15
8-8 '14
8-8 '13
7-9 '12

 

drafted him with a 3rd round pick, "trade" him for a 3rd round pick. Well played Fins. :sarcasm:

 

Draft poorly, don't give second contracts to the good players you do draft, and you get left having to spend huge dollars in FA.

 

it really is troubling

 

I mean, we are basically the redskins since Ross bought the team

 

It's how all the great organizations do it.

Don't forget using high picks on guys like Jamar Fletcher instead of Drew brees or Reggie Wayne.

 

we've only really given out 2nd contracts to Tanny, Reshad, and Misi

 

And how many early picks on OL to still have a bad OL?

 

Pouncey, but he's been marginal since he got it

 

Misi was questionable as well

 

Here's a fun one, remember that time we drafted both Sean smith and Vontae Davis, then went on to let smith walk and traded Davis for what ended up being Jamar Taylor?

 

John Avery instead of Randy Moss, the list goes on and on. It's not even like we are just pulling names off the draft board who got picked after these selections, its people the fins were considering targeting

 

Trading wes welker, especially to the pats might be the worst one

 

Dolphins to remove transition tag on DE Olivier Vernon

Yahoo Sports By Charles Robinson25 minutes ago



It's believed that the Miami Dolphins will remove the transition tag from top free-agent defensive end Olivier Vernon, opening the door for him to potentially depart via free agency, three league sources told Yahoo Sports

 

Source tells @mortreport and I #Dolphins-#Eagles trade involving Byron Maxwell, Kiko Alonzo may be off b/c concern Maxwell shoulder injury

 

Thank god. Horrible trade

 

Trade is dead according to ed werder

Ed Werder ‏@Edwerderespn 12m12 minutes ago
As of now, #Dolphins consider trade with #Eagles to be dead. Deal had teams swapping spots in 1st round of draft, Eagles moving from 13 to 8

 

Go sign Prince Amukamura and draft a CB

 

Albert Breer ‏@AlbertBreer 3m3 minutes ago
CB Byron Maxwell is with doctors in Florida now, per source. Dolphins certainly concerned, taking a closer look. Nothing final either way.

Armando Salguero ‏@ArmandoSalguero 1m1 minute ago
Trade is NOT off at this time. Dolphins gathering more information that will determine comfort level for going forward. That's where it is.

Armando Salguero ‏@ArmandoSalguero 10s10 seconds ago
Fins Mike Tannenbaum and Eagles Howie Roseman have known each other long time. Respect each other. This isn't attempt at screw job.

Mario Williams' Dolphins deal: $17 million, $4M signing bonus, salaries $4.485M, $8.45M, $15K annual workout bonus

 

Les Bowen: Source: Maxwell went to Miami for physical, told Dolphins’ doc he couldn’t do bench press or pushups. Told Eagles he was fine at end of year

 

His whole thing leaves me super skeptical on Tannenbaum and crew

 

How were they supposed to know the guy has a bum shoulder. However, the terms of the deal are scary bad

 

I mean, he missed games last year with it. the other guy in this trade has torn the same ACL twice.

 

Nevermind that there's maybe half a dozen corners that are UFAs that are better than maxwell, that you could get for less money, without giving up picks

 

Yea, but if they were given a physical from the Eagles that said he was fine, there's nothing they can do until they check him out themselves

 

he didnt do a physical with the eagles, they took him at his word it appears

 

Adam Schefter ‏@AdamSchefter 8s8 seconds ago
Dolphins have pulled the transition tag on LB/DE on Olivier Vernon, per source. Now a free agent. Will command big dollars.

 

so i say we tell the eagles we will give them a 4th round pick now, take it or leave it with all the uncertainty going on

 

I think a 4 is too high for taking 2 players with injury history, one with a bad contract, one with a contract thats up this year and you'll have to pay if he does manage to stay healthy and contribute.

 

i dont know what he points value system is, a few nfl analysts on twitter said moving from 8 down to 13 in 1st round would of been close to what a high 3rd round pick is. Which would be way too high imo, so instead of doing 8 down to 13, a 4th would be ok as long as they are healthy (and maxwell restructures his deal, which was likely)

 

We do not have the same opinion on the value of these players
