By Dr. Bruce Banner End of football season and not yet start of league year mean Hulk have some time to calm down and relax. Hulk no think about football too much and Hulk no get angry too much. Funny how that works out. But now this coming Tuesday the league starts and that means the start of free agency. This get Hulk starting to think about football. Hulk start to think what free agents might Dolphins sign and what free agents might Dolphins lose? As Hulk begins to think about the various scenarios Hulk start to get sweaty, his chest starts pounding, his head start hurting and Hulk start getting angry thinking about mistakes that team might make. Hulk think of many things that would make him angry. This is what would make Hulk angry in free agency: Signing Ndamukong Suh for crazy big money. It’s not that Hulk doesn’t like Suh, in fact Hulk have great respect for Suh and his style of play. However, Hulk sees to much money to be spent on one player on defense. Hulk see many other needs that may not get addressed if we sign Suh such as contract extension for Ryan Tannehill. Then there is fixing the offensive line and wide receiver. For the same money that we spend to sign Suh we could sign Mike Iupati and Randall Cobb. Hulk think that would make much bigger impact on team than 1 defensive tackle. We would solidify the interior of the offensive line which would mean Tannehill would have more time to throw and Miller would have more open lanes to run. At same time we could add Randall Cobb who is ideally for Dolphins offense. He has speed to get deep but thrives in the short to intermediate passing game. Nearly one half of his 1,200 yards were after the catch. Tannehill thrives in the short to intermediate game as well. If we sign Cobb, then we have 2 wide receivers who play very well in space and can line up in multiple positions including the boundary, the slot or the backfield and at R1P14 one of these 3 wide receivers are likely to be available: Amari Cooper, Kevin White or Devante Parker. All of whom would be excellent boundary receivers. We would fix OL and give Tannehill multiple weapons to work with but if we sign Suh then this is not possible as we will have no money to bring in veteran OG. We will be forced to draft and rely on rookie OL instead. There are other good options for interior OL in free agency other than Iupati. Vladimir Ducasse of the Vikings, Orlando Franklin of Broncos and Jah Reid of Ravens give other options at OG for Dolphins to get immediate help on interior OL. Another option is to sign Steve Wisnewski from Raiders at OC and keep Mike Pouncey at OG. Another thing that would make Hulk angry is if we sign Jared Odrick to big contract extension. Odrick play a lot but not make many tackles or sacks. Also Dolphin run defense really struggled with Odrick playing DT. There is talk of Odrick getting an $8 million dollar per year contract. Hulk no see that and Hulk be very angry if Phins pay Odrick that much. There are other good DT options available that would be cheaper. Dan Williams for instance is very good run stuffing DT and he be cheaper than Odrick. Terrence Knighton may not be cheaper but he is better than Odrick. Vince Woolfork is now on the open market, maybe he like to come back to Miami for a short term contract and take up space in middle of field. Nick Fairley, Suh’s team mate is also free agent and is better than Odrick. There are too many good options at DT to invest that much money in Odrick. Hulk also hear people talk about signing a veteran running back like Frank Gore. This also would make Hulk angry. Again Hulk like Frank Gore but Hulk no not to sign a running back on the wrong side of 30. Hulk thinks Phins have their running back with Lamar Miller. What Phins need is a quality back up running back/short yardage specialist. There are good options in draft including a Hulk favorite in Tyler Varga. Hulk would see no reason to spend cap dollars on a veteran running back when it is a good year for running backs in the draft. Hulk would also be very angry if we no address the secondary in free agency. Right now Phins have 2 quality defensive backs on roster in Grimes and Reshad Jones and there is talk of cutting Jones to make cap space for Suh. Hulk getting angry just thinking about that. Jamar Taylor flashed talent in limit playing time last year. He may or may not be ready to be a full time CB. Louis Delmas was the starting S but he get injured and is now a free agent. We need at least 1 safety and one corner back. The market not great but there are some decent options that should not cost much. One option at CB is Darius Butler. He has proven to be a viable nickel back the last several years in Indianapolis and would not break the cap budget. Byron Maxwell be available at CB but he more expensive and Hulk no think he would be as good away from rest of pro bowl secondary in Seattle. At safety Hulk like Tyvon Branch from Oakland Raiders. I know Hulk like his Uconn guys but Branch has been a quality player who goes under the radar on bad team. Branch has speed to play center field and again not likely to break cap budget. Also Hulk like Antrell Rolle who is also a free agent. He is a proven ball hawk with 9 interceptions over last 2 years. Plus he is known to be a hard worker and good club house influence. Tom Coughlin called him the hardest working player he has ever seen. However he is likely to cost more. Finally, Hulk would be very angry if TE Charles Clay is lost to free agency, especially to Buffalo Bills as it was reported that coach Rex wanted to sign Clay. The imposition of the transition tag now makes it less likely we lose Clay as with transition tag Phins get right to match any offer. However, reports are that Bills still willing to make big offer to Clay. If we lose Clay there are not many good options in either the draft or free agency. The TE class in the draft is one of the worst in recent years. Most of the 40 times of the TEs in this draft make Arthur Lynch look fast. The free agency class is headed by Julius Thomas but he would be expensive and he will also be playing without Peyton Manning, DeMaryius Thomas and Wes Welker. Hulk not sure he worth signing for the kind of money he will demand. Jermaine Gresham is a quality TE but probably not better, or as versatile as Charles Clay. Jordan Cameron on Cleveland is available but again Hulk thinks Charles Clay fits Fins offense better. So Hulk thinks it is important to re-sign Charles Clay or else Hulk be very angry and no one wants that.

They remind me of how the Miami teams were constructed during the Marino years, especially 83-86. Great offense, tons of weapons but it’s all on the QB because the defense is very weak and the O is one dimension. It’s a hell of a dimension but it is one dimensional.
hey they’re in the dance every year. Its more than I can say about our team and with the big “splashes” we’ve made. At least Irsay was drunk enough to suck for luck. We couldn’t even do that.
I don’t like Heath Evans’ commentary on anything. But he definitely doesn’t like the Dolphins.
He had been getting better but I guess he just can’t help being an ass
I wonder if Bat will make an appearance to either voice his pleasure or displeasure at the Suh signing . . . .
I do miss Bat. Hope he’s doing well.
me too
The Buffalo News reports the Bills will attempt to “structure the strongest possible offer sheet” for Dolphins transition player Charles Clay, and that the Browns are also interested.
_____________________________________
Tell Rex to eat a dick Clay, or a smelly foot!
He ain’t worth more than the $7 mil. How do the rules work on the transition tag…..can other teams make a multi-year offer or are they limited to beating the one-year from the tag team?
Say his name three times and he usually shows up
Bat
Bat…
Did you guys know Jimmy Graham has a 4 year 40M conteact with the Saints (signed last season)
10M a year for the best TE in the league
Gronkowski is 9M a year
*******
I mention those b/c rumor is the Bills will be offering Clay about 8M a year
which is insane
You can;t pay Clay that kind of money whether you are the Dolphins or the Bills
http://overthecap.com/position/tight-end/
They have Clay here at 7M
Why do I think that is wrong?
Isn;t Clay still on his rookie contract?
This is the end of his rookie deal
He’s at 7 because thats the tag number
That’s the the transition tag price
got it
I think this suh contract is a bank roberry but we have a very huge bank so we can get robbed every once in a while. Its called bank ross.
Wow, trade rumor. NO Jimmy Graham and a 4th rd pick to SEA for Max Unger and their 1st rd pick.
Rumor has it that the saints want to avoid paying Graham his bonus due
Jay Glazor reported that trade is a done deal.
Bat
Gotta use the reply and say sunshine and lollipops.
Batlejuice, Batlejuice, Batlejuice!
So if we lose Clay do we draft another TE. Maxx Williams? O’Leary? Funchess to be a tweener?
who needs a TE when you have suh
I know you want to beleive that we will lose Clay b/c of Suh
But if the Bills offer Clay more than 7.5M a year we would be stupid to match even if we had the $
He is just not worth that
Has nothing to do with Suh
You forgot to mention walford
O’Leary is very similiar to Clay
Except his name is spelt different and doesn’t help me. 😦
I doubt it, because both of those guys are 2nd RD picks, and we need that pick either for LB, CB, S or OL. That’s what I think.
I am really not a huge fan of Funchess. He is really a WR and will have to transition to being a TE in the pros. He will take some time to transition imo.
No projects!
Ngata to Detroit
Suh is leaving
That should ease their pain after losing Suh
That’s a good deal for them
I don;t know that Ngata is what he was – but it softens the blow
everyone is reporting now that the Graham/Unger tarde is a done deal

Tim you need to get that jersey altered and have the name changed to Warfield and it can be a vintage jersey
It’s the new jersey and logo.
Shhhh
Randy loves Unger
Randy loves Unger’swear.
There I fixed it for you.
Good move by the Lions. Ngata is probably the closest thing to Suh. Not as good and gettig older but still a high quality DT
WOW, crazy FA start.
‘what they are encouraging would be a crime in most states.’
what some of those women look like in yoga pants should be also.
but i get what you mean, i half heard something on the radio the other day about letting ‘transgender’ kids use either restroom in grade school now.
Alright here we go:
Happy Suh Year
3, 2, 1…..
Dang
I’m not sure what Chip Kelly is doing.
He traded a perfectly healthy QB for one that’s never healthy

I hope Suh gets down to Miami and starts to acclimate. That transition is a bitch. I think it would benefit him to start it sooner rather than later. I do realize it gets hotter than hell in Oklahoma, but the humidity I’d nothing there.

Stanger, you can come in off the ledge now. Fields is staying. I always thought he would. He’s really linked to the community in Miami area.
The Saints traded 51 TD’s (in 5 seasons) for a Center.
Way to go Brandon Fields so glad you are sticking around.
I hope his new deal has him at least one more pass attempt
no news about Clay is good news i hope.
Chip Kelly is either going to be coach of the year this year or back in college next year.
I’m not sure why you trade for Bradford. You could pick somebody up off the street to come in and go on IR every year.
This is all I think about as I read of all these new free agents the Colts are signing to their offense

He is clearly gearing up to draft Mariotta. Bradford and Sanchez are just insurance in case he doesn’t land him.
Yeah, it’s starting to become evident Bradford was the bag of balls included with the draft picks.
Kind of sad to see Starks go. He gave us some quality play and durability for 7 seasons.
He still could be back. Big factor may be whether he plans on retiring here. A move for a year or two would seem bigger if he does.

makes a lot of sense
I’m surprised this far into the league new year that Daniel Thomas is still available
Shocking!
HEY STANGER! Fields re-worked his deal. He will stay a dolphin! Celebrate!
Rock — not only is he still here, the redo probably adds years. My jersey has a lot of shelf-life left. 🙂
I still laugh at you for having a punter’s jersey. LOL

The #Jaguars have traded TE Marcedes Lewis to the #Saints. In less than an hour, New Orleans ships one Tight End out, trades for another.

If I’m Tennessee or Oakland, I’m calling Philly to see about a trade. I would take swapping 1st this year, both 2nd rounders this year, and next year’s 1st and call it day if I was those teams.
…or Jacksonville for that matter.
LMAO @ Jags paying 8.5 mil to Odrick. 2 years from now Odrick will be a cap casualty.
I think we have to realize the market changes and obviously that is the market for Odrick. Maybe not 3-4 years ago but it is now.
Some of it is Jax and Oakland both overpaying guys because they have to use up so much cap space. Odrick was smart enough to stay in Fla instead of funding all those liberal agendas in Cali er a I mean paying Cali State tax

I like this young developing DB, he has played CB & then did well as a safety filling in for an injured Eric Berry.
You brought him up a while ago
Ken,
At $22 million guaranteed, I would think he lasts at least three years there.
TEN might be in the market for Mariota too.
By all indications they are not. They are apparently going to give Mettenberger another to season to develop. They supposedly like him a lot.
They requested a private workout with him after his pro day.
WOW, someone that likes Coyle 😉
James Walker ✔ @JamesWalkerNFL
#Dolphins LB Kelvin Sheppard said as soon as the season was over he told the team he wanted to re-sign. He likes the fit.
“According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter the Philadelphia Eagles are swapping quarterbacks with the St. Louis Rams. Nick Foles for Sam Bradford and some exchange of picks.”
And that would mean the Jets don’t get the rumored sweat heart deal from Philly.
Stanger
Now is your shot
Ask the Dolphins to include a “Dinner with Stanger Clause” in the modified contract
LMAO — Would have to ask Brandon about that one……will do next time we have lunch. 🙂
