You know this means the first team that was able to claim Taco did?

Shows how coveted he is around the league.

Actually the Cardinals get first dibs on the waiver wire based on last years record. It doesn’t switch over to this years standings until after the third week of the season.

If Charlton tips the scale in their favor, then we arent nearly as good as we think we are
The Dolphins don't want the scale tipped in their favor unless you mean in their favor of losing.

They are dead set on going 0-16 from multiple reports that I've seen. The NFL has even had discussions to see if they can force them to attempt to win games...

Actually it means we have no idea how many teams put in a claim. Miami had first dibs, so he went there regardless.

Cardinals had first dibs. It’s based on last years record until after week three, then switches over to this years record.

Does this mean anything cap wise for us now he was claimed?
Yes, his salary for 2019 was guaranteed (1.4M) but any team that claims him takes on the salary.

The Cowboys had paid him about 200K already which means the Dolphins take the remaining 1.2M salary.

Tyron Smith would smash Taco if he was eligible to play (its passed Wednesday, he shouldn't be right)?

And Miami is trying to tank. What does that tell you about their thoughts on Taco

Are Wednesdays the deadline?

I had in mind it was later than Wednesdays but believe you are probably correct.

Most players would hate going to the Dolphins at this point; however, if Taco gets to start and rush the passer from the LDE spot which he claims is where he is great, then he'll probably be happy to be there.

I doubt if he cares that the team is losing if he can get some personal glory of some sort.

Teams will put in their backup OTs and maybe Taco can rack up some sacks against those guys.
