Wedge here for Toots SuperGlue!
Ever had one of those days?
Nothing can withstand the gravitational forces you pass through.
Everything comes to pieces!
Well that’s when you need your Toots SuperGlue!
TOOTS is the Glue you can rely on like superstar cornerback Mackensie Alexander.
Just apply a little bit of Toots Superglue to you broken Photon Belt or your best Wide Receiver and like Magic you are back in space again or pitching a shutout on the football field.
Toots and Alexander are airtight and won’t let anything come between them and the receiver, including bombs!
Alexander was one of the most highly ranked high school prospects coming out of high school. He was talented then, he is talented now.
Toots won Space Ship Saver of the year last millennium. And it still saves Space Ships!
Some think Alexander will be the first cornerback taken in the draft! Some also think Toots will glue a moon to a planet!
Before the combine Alexander declared to the NFL “I am the best cornerback in the draft”…cocky, you bet! True….maybe!
Cornerbacks need to be confident, and Mackensie certainly is.
And I am confident Toots will permanently glue anything it touches!
Guess how many interceptions Alexander had at Clemson…
The answer is ZERO. Guess why?
Yep, you guessed it, no one dared to throw the ball near him.
Like Toots Superglue which never breaks down. Toots is permanent and not safe for your kids to play with.
Alexander is true shutdown defensive back. And Toots will kill your pets if they eat it!
Alexander is yet another prospect with Florida roots, hailing from Immokalee Florida.
I don’t know where that is but its probably full of football fields.
Toots, on the other hands, is harnessed out of the semen of dead lifeforms!
At the combine Alexander didn’t run the 40 but or really any drills at all except the bench where he benched 225 pounds 11 times.
At the Saturn New Products Fair, Toots glued an alien’s tentacles to his own pancreas 11 times!
Let’s face it, if you are an NFL Team you need a Mackenzie Alexander on your roster.
And if you are an intergalactic agent, you need Toots SuperGlue in your spaceship!
Get your Toots SuperGlue now…look for the sexy alien on the label.
Oh…and one more thing now you can get new MAX Toots SuperGlue.
Speaking of which…if Mackensie Alexander was an Alien Weapon of Destruction, he would be a bottle of MAX Toots SuperGlue!
Check out his highlights here:

Cause of Malik Jackson? lol
He’s a nice piece to add to a team with some real good pieces already.
Brent must divorce this assclown ASAP. Here he’s hitting FA looking for money & all she is doing is making him even more undesirable.
She got to go Brent, she got to go!!!
@HimmelrichNFL: Sources indicate that the #Dolphins are confident Mario Williams will be signed. As expected, they seem to be wrapping up a deal.
@jaredv87: Bro. Rotoworld putting Omar Kelly and the Sun-Sentinel on blast. Awesome. https://t.co/7wMEh0hmEe
I saw it
hilarious
LOL @ the bus pic.
if the sign mario does that mean the end of wake?
Depends on if Wake restructures to their liking. Depending on what I knew of Wake’s rehab, I’d be tempted to let him go & resign Shelby & still have money left for a vet FA OG & maybe Miller, etc etc.

I could live with many of those names.
Interesting route to go with Stanley as the 1st pick
That might be what we end up doing
I’m glad you worked in Jones
signing williams gives us leverage when dealing with wake and OV. I think ov is gone. And wake too probably. Just resign shelby if that happens.
getter,
if healthy i would think a d line of suh, williams and wake should be dominate. but these are the fins, you can give them the entire first round of draft pics and they will still under perform
BIG “if”
Seeing Jackson just set the market at $15 million per, OV will get his asking price.
BTW, with Megatron retiring, the Lions @ #16 may be looking for Treadwell. Wish They’d move up to #8 in a trade to take him. 😉
But I doubt the Bucs, Giants, or Bears are looking @ WR in the first. The Saints might @ #12.

Armando Salguero @ArmandoSalguero
Adam Jones and Dolphins DC Vance Joseph are tight. Pacman knows the D, has said he thinks there will be interest.
gdp,
I think both miller and OV are gone. I heard the texans are going after osweiler as well.
They were like top 5 of teams with the most Cap space, so I see them as heavy FA players.
Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter · 7m7 minutes ago
The Broncos have released veteran TE Owen Daniels.
Why not, coming off a SB WIN. Time to purge the old players. Manning retiring set the course for that.
seems like CJ anderson is leaving broncos as well. They gave him a low ball offer

Collins and Henry would be luxury picks, id love to have them but im afraid they will be too expensive id rather draft defense in the second. Tim if you are wanting Ajayi type runner but a little more speed, you want Drake, and on top of it he could handle return duties
Reply
I like Drake. I took him in one of those mock thingies.
gdp,
I bet the texans became interested in miller right after we played them last year 🙂
No doubt. That was a sick beat down…lol
Go Phins!
@AlbertBreer: Both CB Byron Maxwell and LB Kiko Alonso are at the Dolphins facility today to get their physicals, wrap up the trade.
Jackson signed by the Jag, who were supposedly the frontrunners to sign OV, maybe OV isnt as attractive as others….
New York Giants Buzz @giantsbuzztap 1m1 minute ago
http://sny.tv >> Giants expected to re-sign Pierre-Paul to one-year, $10.5 million deal http://buzztap.com/-132uen
—————————————–
OV may be short on teams pushing to get him.
There’s still plenty of money out there.
Would be kind of interesting if most the other teams fill their pass rush needs we pull the tag and then re-sign him for less than the transition tag was going to be for.
LOL, would serve his OVerly inflated head right! 😉
D, I’m with ya on Elliot, Henry, & Collins being luxury picks @ RB.
Since we have a lot of promise in Ajayi, I’d wait like we did for him later in the draft & go with a Keith Marshall or Daniel Lasco to be in tandem with the Jaytrain!
Bunch of later round guys who flash on film. Lasco, Green, Ervin, Ferguson, Washington, Smallwood….lower round heavy RB draft.
I think if we sign Mario, OV is gone for sure. Ov will get a good offer from someone, maybe not $15M per, but at least $10M per
Question becomes then, do you re-sign him at 10mil per if you are us?
I have said all along 10mil per is the cutoff for us.
I don’t think so, not sure we can fit that under the cap. Do we know how long Super Mario’s contract is?
Armando Trolling Miko & Omar HARD😂
@ArmandoSalguero: 57. https://t.co/RlteMtP7i5

What do you think of Marshaun Coprich?
Didnt look at him a lot to be honest. Small school guy with red flags for drugs, i didn’t dig too deep. He finds the endzone, 23 rushing TD’s so there is talent there im sure. I did look and there wasnt a ton of stuff to look at so i kinda cut him short/off my list.
He’s got some big production. Supposedly he’s a good pass catcher out of the backfield too. I don’t mind his lack of height, he’s about 210 at 5’8″, so he’s got mass.
Phins/Cuse/Trump16 @PhinsDiehard 3m3 minutes ago
Im hearing the eagle/phins swapped the 8th & 13th pick in rd1 and miami got a 4th rd pick.
That’s what I was predicting yesterday….that would be huge if that’s the swap +1….WOW!
Go Grier & Tbomb!
you think? I’m not sure if those 2 are worth a 2nd round pick. we could have gotten a solid starter with number 8. And we still can with 13 but we need to get real lucky. Are either one of these guys a solid starter? Alonso was at one point but not anymore. I haven’t watched maxwell enough to form an opinion. I know tanny had a good day against the eagles last year.
if this true wow we got shafted IMO. That’s basically a 2nd round pick.
Means we got Maxwell and Alonzo for whats equivalent to a late round 3 pick if this is indeed how it goes down. Im not likeing the trade back in the first but two starters for a increase in cap of 3mil (as it stands now) and a 3rd round pick is not bad at all.
how did you get 3rd round? If you go from 8 to 13 that’s a 2nd round pick. Then we get a 4th back so that’s a late round 2nd round pick.
D, yeah Lasco is real interesting. His combine numbers are all near the top!
Plus he’s good in the passing game as both a blocker & receiver. The Cal Bears were a pass heavy team.
Bills re-signed LG Richie Incognito to a three-year, $15.75 million contract.
The two sides appeared to be drifting apart at this time last week when it was reported the Bills were “frustrated” Incognito wouldn’t take a “cut-rate deal” and give the team a discount. But it got done a day before the market opened, and Incognito will be back between franchise player LT Cordy Glenn and C Eric Wood after making the Pro Bowl this past season following his year away.

Boulder, its more like a later 3rd round in value.
how did you come up with that? see my response above.
Boulder, I don’t follow you on the swaps & getting a 4th, plus 2 vet FA’s. ???
If thats the move then it probably takes us out of play for Hargreaves.

————————–
difference in the value of pick 8 and 13+110 is about 176, which pick 83 is 175 value. pick 83 is round 3 pick 20.
I have a draft calculator that has the numeric value of every pick, the math i used is above.
I’d be ok with the extra 4th. If we needed to, we could use it in a trade back into the 3rd.
13 isn’t bad. Spence, Conklin, Dodd, Ragland should all be there. If we move Alonso to WLB, draft Ragland, that’s an improved LB corps right there. Hewitt, Jenkins and Misi can fight it out for the SLB spot
Its not bad, dont get me wrong im not butt hurt over it, i just would have rather done the trade a little different, i would have liked to stay put at 8.
If true I hope that’s kind of how it shapes up.
I see you guys finally started discussing the swap in the Philly deal. It’s been discussed on the other blog. I look at it like 3 starters and a 4th to move down 5 spots. There’s plenty of talent in the middle of the 1st round and it’s likely that our board doesn’t say #8 is so much more than top 15.
There’s another blog? lol
Yes it’s in a far away place on the rings of Saturn. LOL
You sure its not in Uranus?
D
I guess I’m just glad we have all our picks, and now we get a 4th too. I’m totally cool with that.
good way of looking at it.
GD, im sure TBaum will wheel and deal with that extra pick so its likely we move back up some in the first if we really see a guy a couple picks up from us and use the extra 4th as compensation or maybe we move our third into the second, which late second could be prime real-estate this draft.
Malik Jackson 6 years $90 million $42M guaranteed. You don’t think inside DL are highly valued? 😉
Yeah, cause Suh set the bar in Miami….lol
Gerald McCoy set it prior to Suh at 6 years $95M and $50M guaranteed. You don’t hear people barking about that.
The Bucs fans are after last year’s down performance….lol
Lovie is gone now tho. Fighting Illini hired him. So he’s back near Chicago area.
Id leave Jenkins at WLB, have Alonzo man the middle and if i took Ragland id play him at SOLB.
I like that idea. CB and DE is high priority too specially if we don’t resign wake and grimes.
I’d play Alonso at SOLB then again we could move all of these guys around.
He’s been the Mike & Will, not sure he’s suited as the Sam.
Maybe with that extra 4th we take a TE, like Adams or Higbee.
All of our current TE’s (Cameron, Sims, & Stoneburner) will be FA’s in 2017 next year.

Everybody sucked under Philbin & especially LAZOR!
I see a bounce back year for both Sims & Cameron in a Gase offense.
Hey, pass the kool aid on down. Take a swig first. You look thirsty.
GD, I meant I don’t remember the NFL media going bonkers over McCoy’s deal but Suh’s was what are you doing?
I remember at the time saying to myself, WHOA, on the McCoy contract. Then I watched him more closely & came away unimpressed. He flashes great at times, then disappears.
Colts waived OLB Bjoern Werner.
A truly colossal bust as the No. 24 overall pick of the 2013 draft, Werner was a healthy scratch six times last season. The German Vernon Gholston, Werner has 6.5 sacks through 38 NFL games.
____________________

Damn Tannehill guy!!!!!
@caplannfl: #Vikings announced release of WR Mike Wallace.
Steelers should sign him back on the cheap cheap….lol
Sign him to the practice squad.
Sign him to a futures contract let him make the 75 just so we can cut him again at the final 53 lol.
Because Bridgewater can’t hit him with the deep ball. 😉
As i have said plenty of times recently, speed isnt everything anymore. Days of just being able to leave people behind ya are gone, NFL is a much more complex place with a lot of great athletes on every team. You have to be nuanced to be competitive.
Why would I bark about the McCoy contract, he’s not on my team . . .
No not you or us, the NFL media world.
They just pick on us because we always seem to be spending in FA. Can’t deny it.
Lions could now go big after Matthews, since Jeffrey’s is wrapped up. (smart by the Bears, but man did they way over pay)!
Also Marvin Jones or Rueben Randle are comparable to Rishard.
My guess is they go for Randle.
Just thinking of Alonso, Ragland and Jenkins/Hewitt/Misi sound so much more promising, especially with Super Mario at DE
I agree. Don’t leave Vigil out of the mix. He might provide some nice young depth and STs.

Seems like the striking range to get a RB :/.
Yeah im likeing the 4th for a RB, but now we have 2 we might also take a TE there. RB is in most my mock drafts, TE usually there if i pick up an extra pick. I dont think TE is a dire need for us but getting a guy to be a better 3rd than Stoneburner would be nice.
did we win the off season Super Bowl yet?

His brother might even be a Dolphins too 🙂 though I admit that it happens only if he goes undrafted
That would be interesting.
D,
With Jordan Cameron restructuring, I think there won’t be a ‘need’ for a TE in this draft though the team does need to find a 3rd wheel who’s better than Stoneburner. Cameron/Sims duo isn’t bad. Both had disappointing 2015 season for different reasons but similar with injuries.
Hback is something the team needs I guess but those kind of TE have different qualities than what Sims/Cameron have
Then maybe one of the brothers….like baby gronk. Big gronk apparently not happy with the 4th year option being picked up on his contract. Maybe he would get so mad he would come play on a team with his little bro lol.
Cameron only lowered his salary about $1-1.5M. He did not add years.
So he’s still a FA as of 2017. Would be nice to groom a guy like Jerell Adams or Tyler Higbee about now.
D says:

——————————————–
in the article it says we are picking up his bloated salary for the guaranteed yrs and it says the eagles were willing to trade him because of the bloated salary and he never measured up.He was ranked in the bottom 1/4 of all CB
There was a report that we were working to re-negotiate his contract, so it may change, but even if it doesnt the 8.5 he is due next year is the only guaranteed money. If it turns out bad we could literally cut him next year and walk.
I really dont think though it was a matter of him being bad as muc as his role in that defense was to be the island CB and he isnt that type of CB. He’s a press/zone CB so he would fit what they ran in Cincy, and what they seem to be indicating they will run in Miami better. All in all its a good trade though i think there will still be a high CB pick to start opposite as i think he is more the no 2 CB vs the no 1. Alonzo is all potential, his rookie years was nothing short of disgustingly sick, he comes back to a 4-3 and goes back to that level of play and oyu could easily forget that the Maxwell part even happened.

Sounds like Schwartz is getting the band back together. 😀
I really like the RB class this year in terms of depth.
There is alot of value IMO.
I really like Paul Perkins from UCLA (projected 3-4 RDer by nfldraftscout) as a complete back w/ great vision; Tyler Ervin from San Jose State (home run type RB) DeAndre Washington from Texas Tech (short but very stalky ala Ray Rice) intrigues as a combo RB with Ajayi.
I see Keith Marshall coming up in discussion; I don’t know much about him but the tape I’ve seen, man …looks like a Miller clone.
Like i said early its a deep class, its just not a deep elite talent group, its more bottom half heavy.
Aaron Green from TCU had a run at Senior Bowl that if i had not know who he was i would have said looked like Miller was out there. Was first TD of the game and he really weaved through the middle of the field to catch and outside lane and kick in the speed and get the TD.

porbably depends on the back

Its probably just having a price set for RB
unless its AP
then you can pay more
but the RB position is not one you pay a lot of $$$ too
Teams do do it though.

You said “doo doo”
As long as we dont get another DE in FA to replace him. Williams wont count against that since he was an off the street signing.
I think it would be a lower level signing like William Hayes STL and then we’ll draft one to go along with Fede, the CFL dude and a couple of other dudes on the roster.
So cutting Wake to replace him with Williams would basically come out to a 400k savings, with a younger, better replacement. Win.

———
Regarding Maxwell’s original contract structure, the Fins are on the hook for $11.5 million in pay outs (8.5 million guaranteed in 2016 YR base salary + 3 of 10 million guaranteed from 2017 YR base salary) and cap wise have to record the pro-rated amount from his original signing bonus (1.2 mill yearly allocation for 5 years so 6-1.2=4.8 mill left to allocate against the team cap.
I’ve read discussions that the restructure could involve paying out the 11.5 mill in guaranteed money remaining as a signing bonus and then pro-rating that across 5 years or whatever which reduces his cap number by reducing the base salary structure.
From over the cap it shows Maxwell as a 0 dead money cut.
The next 3 years.
D,
Aaron Green is another good option too as you mentioned.
Even in the late RD to UDFA pool you got backs like Peyton Barber who intrigues and is thirsty for NFL success due to family reasons.
Brandon Wilds
Doug Moore @DMooreNFL
Ok, to finally clarify (per @AllbrightNFL):
#Eagles get 8th overall pick, 4th rd pick.
#Dolphins get 13th overall pick, Alonso & Maxwell.
_______________________________
Ouch! I got heartburn now….smh
they must have not liked the player they would get at 8. Maybe they think they can get the same value at 13. Its a big gamble. I guess we’ll see
Not if our board has 8-13 as the same.
Perhaps Allbright is wrong but this doesn’t seem good
I heard it the other way around
that the Eagles gave us a 4th and we flipped 1st rounders
Basically for taking away their salary purge
I think its a shit trade if we gave up a 4th round pick and dropped 5 spots in the 4th round
for dropping 5 spots in the first round you recoup a 2nd rounder
When I first heard it that’s what I thought it was.
It’s really we swap our 1st rd picks and we take on Maxwell’s contract, and a 4th for Alonso. Two starters and we still have a high 1st rd pick, our 2nd and 3rd. It doesn’t bother me. People need to focus on these guys are looked at as starters, not camp fodder. LOL
That is hilarious & so Bernie, Hillary, Obama, Rubio, Cruz, Romney, & Kasich, the establishment party stooges. 😉
D,
http://overthecap.com/player/byron-maxwell/1535
I’m using overthecap data myself… For 2017 it shows $6.6 mill in dead money if cut (1.2 mill x 3 years remaining after YR 1 & YR 2 + 3 mill of the 10 mill guaranteed from the 2017 base)
you know he’s gonna wanna stick it to Rex next year.
YEA, now don’t you quit on the Phins too Stupor Mario!
Don’t worry, he’ll be playing DE not OLB and dropping in coverage. LOL

Outsiders could say the same thing about us trading for Alonso who is replacing Misi 🙂
Alonso replaced Sheppard. Misi is still here.
Ha, touche’
now that we have williams we have to try and keep wake now and re sign shelby.
I love watching fans get crazy over draft picks. Without that 4th our entire offseason is fucked! LOL
By the end of today we could have 3 new starters and FA hasn’t even started yet. Horrible offseason. LOL
Tim
if we are building through the draft
we aren’t building anything
its one thing to bring vet players in
its another to give away draft picks to do it
We need our picks
LOL, right….however it kinda butt rapes the build through the draft concept. 😉
We have a new starting DE, LB and CB and FA hasn’t started yet. Obviously performance is the key but we’re in better shape than we were a day ago.
Tim
If Alonso starts at MLB, he will have essentially replaced Misi.
Doesn’t make sense since Misi is a natural OLB who was playing MLB only out of the team need from that position. I saw he looked alright at MLB (had his hiccups like anyone new to a position); saw where instincts weren’t there but he did solid IMO given the situation. I thought the Fins should have left him there this year to see if he grows into the position but in classic Philbin fashion they put him back somewhere like they flip flopped OL the last 2 years (Pouncey to OG back to C; DT everywhere, etc).
Misi played SOLB, not MLB.
GDP,
I just saw some highlights of Brandon Wilds after looking at his attributes.
Attributes look good on paper but when I looked at the film he looks like he runs a bit choppy. Maybe cause he’s tall for a RB. I just get a Daniel Thomas feeling about him lol.
As long as we don’t trade up for him…lol
He may even be an UDFA.
If thats the case now then we basically lost a 56th overall pick, or whats equivalent to round 2 pick 25.
For me even if we lost a couple places in the first, we maintained, no increased the overall number of picks we had, i would have been ok with also maintained the number of picks, but to drop back 5 spots int he first and give up a pick, even a 4th rounder to me kinda hurts us. We esentially had the leverage on the Maxwell trade since we were assuming his contract, Alonzo would have bene worth a net loss of a 3rd on the trade but i dont feel that he’s worth a net loss of a 2nd in a year we could really use the picks, shoulda been either or, either we swap 1st rounders or we lose a 4th not both.
Yep, can’t build through the draft with a 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7 and 7. It’s that’s 4th that really puts it altogether. You guys kill me. It just fucks up your mock drafts. LOL

I’m fine with the idea of replacing OV with Williams
(if that is the case)
I think that’s an upgrade
I’m fine letting Miller go
but picking up Maxwell and Alonzo and giving up a draft pick is a problem to me
We gave up a chance to get a young player by giving up a 4th round pick
and I donlt think that is how to build a team
^ Agree
I’m not cool with losing our 4th RD pick. Not at all. This is why we will never build through the draft, because of moves like this. Things will never change.
Its a cycle
next offseason we will undo all the moves we made the last 2 years
instead of building upon the moves we made
its one thing to bring in vets
which I’m fine with
its another to give up on chances to bring in young players to build your team
Dolphins agreed to terms with DE Mario Williams on a two-year, $16 million contract.
The offseason is the Dolphins’ postseason. Their March dynasty is approaching Belichick-esque levels. Now 31, Williams was widely accused of quitting last season before being released by the Bills last week. Williams is one of the best pass rushers of his generation, and is well worth a flier, but it will be a risky deal for the perennially cap-strapped ‘Fins. His addition will almost certainly mean the release of Cam Wake.

Im pretty down on it and its not because of losing a 4th. I already didnt like trading down in the first, but it was acceptable when we gained a extra pick. That 4th round pick wasnt going to make or break any mocks i had, and im not so narcissistic that it makes a difference to me about MY mock. When it comes to my team and what i feel is a bad move, im going to call it that way. We have many a need and while the 4th might not be a big deal to you it likely at least represented a depth player, potentially a starter, and we could use some of either.
….and as I said earlier, that extra 4th represented a chance to move back into the 3rd or maybe even 2nd round if paired with another pick.
Agree 100%.
Is that a official details or is that another fucking reporter saying what their “source” says…. They cant do anything official until start of the year so just wondering. I hope its inaccurate.
There are a lot of good players ranked between 90-135 that would probably be available in the 4th round
2014 4th round included players like
Devontae Freeman
Martavious Bryant
Bryan Stork
Andre Williams
Logan Thomas
Russell Bodine
There are productive players in the 4th round every year
Lamar Miller…
Tbomb isn’t the negotiator I thought he was. This now becomes a sizable gamble on two injured players who’ve yet to reach their full potential….and we’re a team full of holes still.
Maxwell makes me queasy. The deal for KIKO I like straight up cause I think his knee won’t tear again (tore his ACL in 2014 working out; in 2015 suffered a grade II sprain of his surgically repaired ACL during WEEK 2 and missed WEEK 3-8). Looked blah the rest of the way in WEEK 9-17 but finished on a high note in WEEK 16 & 17 recording his highest tackles total of the season in both Week 16 vs Skins (8) and 17 vs Giants (9).
I read he partially tore that ACL again.
Maxwell acquisition reminds me of the Richard Marshall acquisition from a few years back LOL
