Yeah, Miami screwed rhemselves on that deal! Ouch!

I'm the guy who usually says we can make it fit with some restructures, but man, those are some ugly numbers. I wouldn't want anything to do with paying a safety in his 30s the kind of base salary he's receiving this year and the next few years.

Nope. That is one terrible deal for the Dolphins. Am doing they're truly stuck with it. They can't justify the cap hit for cutting or trading him, and nobody will touch a 31-year-old safety with those contract numbers. There were insance for getting into that deal in the first place.

It does get cheaper to cut him ($10 million) than to keep him ($15 million) next year so either that's their out or the following year when they would save $10 million.

Some of us wanted Earl Thomas but we were told by the homers that what we had was good enough.:facepalm:

Some of us wanted a safety in the second round, but we were told by the homers that Hill at DL was a much better pick:facepalm:

Yes, we all need to listen to the homers more, they are just killing it with their analysis and excellent roster management.:laugh:

Eric Berry is available
Just throwing it out there.
What's his health status now?

I'm shocked we haven't kicked the tires on TJ Mcdonald...or Deone Bucannon. I was have jumped all over Bucannon...but Giants swooped in already.

Technically, it's not really analysis or management, it's simply rubber stamping whatever the team does.

Takes Taco over TJ Watt? Watt can't play in our scheme.

Taco not playing well? Just needs time.

Taco gets cut? He just had a bad attitude.

Team brings in several safeties in free agent and draft visits? The team is finally doing something about Heath!

Team doesn't sign a safety? They really like their guys. Plus, Heath is a good special teamer or something.

Takes Trysten Hill over Juan Thornhill? 500-word post on how DT's are so much more valuable than safeties, even if the safety is better.

Juan Thornhill plays well? He can only play free safety.

Points out that he plays with Honey Badger who is 3 inches shorter and 25 pounds lighter than Thornhill? Crickets.

Trysten Hill does nothing? Just needs time.

So? I’ve heard him say that before...and about DTs too. Reality is they suck at it. Look what they go get....it’s depth avg to good,but never the elite guys. And they wonder why the backend sucks and we get gashed up the gut all the time. What stubborn fools they are....no idea why or what caused this deep dislike for what used to be normal around here in good defense at those areas.
