This is the last look at free agent offensive linemen. We’ve already covered the tackles and the guards, and now it’s time to look at the centers. This may be an exercise in futility, i get that, but there is always the possibility that we actually move on from C Mike Pouncey, whether it’s due to injury, salary, or a combination of both. So many fans are freaking out because we’re over the cap by $19M, and Mike Pouncey counts $9M against the cap, but this year his dead cap hit is only $2M, so releasing Pouncey for financial reasons is feasible. Can we replace him? I’m here to take a look at whether we can.
Ryan Jensen 6’3 310 26YO
Jensen started all 16 games last season for the Baltimore Ravens. He was drafted by the ravens in the 6th RD of the 2013 draft. He played some at LG and RG before finally becoming the Ravens center last season. He didn’t participate at the combine, but just to compare since the combine is all the rage right now, at his Colorado pro day, Jensen ran a 5.28 40, an 8’2′ broad jump, 25 1/2″ vertical, and put up 30 reps of 225lbs. Once again, I invoke the sentiment that if he can play for the Ravens, he can play for us. Spotrac projects Jensen to be worth around $9M per, so we would have to make his 1st year contract a cap friendly one, which isn’t difficult when you’re doing a long term deal.
**********************************************************************************
Weston Richburg 6’3 298 26YO
Weston Richburg was drafted in the 2nd RD by the Giants in the 2014 NFL draft. He started 47 of 48 games his first 3 seasons with the Giants. In 2017, Westburg suffered a concussion on Oct 1, (Game 4) and his slow recovery forced the Giants to put him on IR, ending his season. Richburg was a solid, if unspectacular starter for the Giants. The fact that they IRed him in his money year showed they didn’t really have any intention of re-signing him. He’s a young, average to above average NFL center. Missing 12 games in his final year before FA will hurt him salary wise, but how much, I don’t know.
***********************************************************************************
Russell Bodine 6’3 310 25YO
Now here’s a guy we should be interested in. Only 25 years old, he has started every single game in his 4 years in the NFL with the Bengals. His combine numbers were pretty impressive. 5.18 40, 42 reps of 225lbs, 29; vertical (both his bench press and vertical were tops). Bodine is a powerful guy who moves people and plays with a mean streak. He sounds like a perfect candidate here, but I have no idea what kind of salary he will be looking for.
************************************************************************************
Brian Schwenke 6’3 314 27YO
I remember watching Schwenke in the Senior Bowl back in 2013 and being impressed by the kid. Stout powerful, with a chip on his shoulder, he did really in the drills, especially the mano a mano drills. He was drafted in the 4th RD in ’13 by the Titans, but his career never really took off there, starting only 30 games over 5 years. If you go by his combine numbers, he matches up pretty well, running a 4.99 40, putting up 31 reps, running a 7’31 cone drill, but all that hasn’t translated into NFL success. He would be an inexpensive pickup, but to expect him to play up to even an injured 80% Mike Pouncey level of play would be unlikely.
**************************************************************************************
Travis Swanson 6’5 312 27YO
So we want to replace one puff pastry with another? Travis Swanson seems to me like Mike Pouncey light (very light!). Just about the same size as Pouncey, Swanson is a finesse player, but was also a 2 time captain at Arkansas. Swanson has 42 starts over 4 years for the Detroit Lions, last year starting and playing in only 11 games. He was put on IR for the 2nd time in 2 years due to concussion issues. It’s been heavily rumored we have interest in Swanson, but I don’t get it. Didn’t we learn from Jordan Cameron? Should we replace our C with gossamer hips for a C with scattered grey matter? I’ll take a pass on that one, thank you! LOL – Is it me, or does Swanson even look like he’s trying to figure out what it is he’s doing on the field?
***********************************************************************************
So this completes the O-line folks. If you have any suggestions of guys I may have missed, feel free to mention them on the blog.
Finsmob Unleashed 
Guice must have asked Piggy to go on a canoe trip?
No white water rafting. LOL
https://twitter.com/PhinsComNews/status/971868119802306561
Phins were over the cap in 2016 too…how’d that season work out?
It always works out because it has to. The only downfall is you can’t sign many players in FA but maybe that’s a good thing. LOL
Seriously though, a lot of our cap is where it is because we did a lot of re-signing our own the last couple of years. Maybe the plan is to focus more on the young players we have and the next draft class.
We shouldn’t be overspending in FA anyway, so as far as I’m concerned, the less we spend in FA the better!
Isn’t that what most of us want? Draft well and keep our own? Wait….except Landry?!
Right, except Landry
How convenient we don’t hear them preaching that line this year.
It’s gonna be a regrettable fuckup, stupid really
Don’t over think it Douffus Brigade
Thanks for that info Wyo! That illustrates one of our problems. Signing big FA contracts bites you in the ass when you want to keep your own guys. Not that you should overpay your own guys either, but you don’t want the picks you get right to walk every time either. Vernon wasn’t happening, the G-men gave him a ridiculous contract, but Miller’s wasn’t, though I didn’t feel a pressing need to keep him either. Landry just wants too much, but if he comes back down to earth at around $13M or less, we should sign him.
I think Miller wanted to go to Houston. Nobody talks about that just that we let him walk. His agent and he targeted Houston for over a year preparing for FA. You lose some FAs sometimes.
We want Tannehill over Landry. Have fun with that.
No, Tannehill is under contract, Landry is a FA. We offered him $13.5M for 4 years. If you think he deserves more, have fun with that!
No. He’s under contract as we speak but the idiots are going to trade him.
Because they’re so fucking smart. That’s why.
I never said they were so smart, but paying more than what we offered Landry is crazy. I’d be shocked if any team pays him more than we offered
Sonny – So what do you propose? Paying him the $16M? Offering him more than $13.5M per?
He wants “whatever his name is'” contract in Green Bay.
Give it to him
Give him his seven catches a game
Give him a team as willing as him
Adams is overpaid, so we have to overpay also? Maybe he should take Julian Edelman’s contract instead
They offered Landry $13m and he refused. He countered with $14m and they refused. But they outsmarted him by signing him for $16m. Ass clowns
Or they know they can get a trade done. As far as the tag, yeah it’s a high number but not a long-term deal with probably 30+M guaranteed. That’s a whole different deal. Obviously we’re all interested to see how this plays out.
Which either will be restructured when he signs a long term deal or will be traded away. But right now it gives the team leverage
Everybody has an answer.
Whatever we do on offense we have to fix the OL or it’s going to be more of the ugh… I don’t care who it is, they have to play better. Have to add more of a threat at TE.
Could be a technicality like when everyone knows a guy signed with a team but it’s “not official”. That would be a really bad report to put out from multiple sources if he did not sign it.
They forgot to fax it in.
Lots of tension on this blog lately, everyone is angry
Lots of tension with our Phins lately. I, for one, can’t remember ever being over the cap (and by a LOT!) with FA only days away. Add to that, all of the trade rumors and cut rumors that are circling around our star players.
But yes, I’m with ya on lots of tension on this blog lately!
That’s what happens after having a playoff season followed by a shit one. At the same time a new HC retooling his team in his vision. We don’t know what’s up or if we’re on the right path. Some don’t think we are so they’re not optimistic. I’m waiting to see how the entire offseason plays out. You get to hone in on the potential 53.
I don’t get being angry at the unknown.
I owe you a beer. 🙂
It’s kind of funny, because we haven’t even fucked up the draft yet. 🙂
We traded for Quinn and franchised Landry like everyone thought we would weeks ago. It’s like we’re trying to stir up more anger about things that haven’t happened. LOL
Landry is worth whatever you pay him
Tannehill ain’t
I say that with no zero nada anger
A few beers maybe
There will/should be another QB brought in. Whether they can unseat him instantly or need a year, who knows.
RT17 makes average QB money and that’s where he’s at. They can move on 2019…
I look at what Glennon got last year and feel RT17 is a bargain
Tannehill has nothing to do with Landry except for most of his “historic” production since he’s been in the league. 😉
Their contracts are not at odds though, Landry being re-signed or not has nothing to do with what Tannehill makes.
Piggy’s next jersey already has man goo on it
Someone offers Landry a 4 or 5 yr deal that pays him 8 to 10mil a year he ain’t going to take that even if it is a long term deal because Landry feels he’s the best wr in the league and should be paid like one. So, he’s playing this year for the $16M.
He would rather have $30+M guaranteed and more security. Then he can take care of his family. 😉
but he’s not getting that.
if he plays this year under that tag he’s already got more than half that $30M guaranteed in one year.
Sure, 5 years $58M/$32M guaranteed. $11.6M per range is probably what it will be. LOL
I have no idea. But I do think the guaranteed money from a longer term deal is what he’s looking for.
again, he’s getting half that guaranteed in one year under the tag. he’d be getting that over three of the 5 yrs in a 5 yr deal.
I mean he’d be getting the $32M over three of the five years. He gets half that in one year playing under the tag and then he could get a contract from someone next season. There’s no incentive for him to take a long term deal right now.
and then if he gets that long term deal next yr and he gets $30M guaranteed from someone that’s $46M guaranteed he just got.
Or, if the phins do trade him they’re going to end up trading him with a pick in order to get rid of him just like the Texans did giving up Osweiler and a 2nd to the Browns to get the Browns to take the contract off their hands.
Granted Landry’s tag isn’t near what Osweiler was getting but it’s $16M the team can’t afford to have on the books.
Marcus Peters and Aqib Talib, huh? That’s a damned good tandem.
Rams are another team making the moves to make their team better. Meanwhile in Miami it’s Tannenbaum killing the team like he did with the Jets. What a group of incompetent morons running this team. LMMFAO!!!
I do think there will probably be a surprise release or two, or a major restructure with someone. There almost has to be. I can’t see us paying James his 5thYO at $9.3M either.
Lou, $32M guaranteed over any period of time is more than one year at $16M. What if he gets hurt or his stats aren’t so great and that moment never comes again? He wants it now. He should call J.G. Wentworth… 877 CASHNOW!!! LOL
but nobody is offering that Tim.
———-
😆
😆
😆
Maybe we could sign Case Keenum. Decent money with knowing at the least he’s a backup.
Then try to draft Baker.
If so trade Tannehill during the draft
Or
Case and Tannehill battle it out
We have 2 QB’s either way
Case is expected to fetch around $22M/year; we can’t afford him right now.
Who’s interested?
Any team looking for a starting QB. Latest rumor I heard (early this week) was that the Broncos may be going for him. Trading Aqib to the Rams just freed up $11M to possibly make it happen.
And remember, the Broncos damn near signed Case two years ago when Kubiak was still with them. I’ll bet they wish they had now.
Broncos are in on Cousins first, until MIN signs him, then to PLAN B
Totally agreed, but it’s all but a done deal that Cousins will be going to Minny.
They’re interested in trading for James too.
YUP!

Why the hell would we cut him instead of trading him? $#!t, the Browns still have over $100M in cap space as we speak.
Discussion…..
“So what about cutting Suh?”
“No”
End of discussion
Pretty much!
If they don’t know the divisions when they’re pups…
Cutting Suh to save 4M…..seems to me he’s worth having for that extra 4M.
Cut him next year if they want.
And the post June 1 designation is stupid because you can’t use that money til June and you have another big dead money hit in 2019…..so no thanks
Without looking at the cap, look at Quinn as an addition to the defense along with the changes we made last year. Very new defense. A mix of vets and youth. Wake is the only one mid 30’s. Most are in their 20’s. We need these guys to come together quicker this year. Too much miscommunication last year. You could see it. They shined at times and looked like Swiss Cheese at times.
First time DC Matt Burke had a challenging season like everyone else. New DL and DB coaches added.
Gase hasn’t proven who he is as a HC yet, but he sure as hell isn’t complacent. 5 major coaching changes heading into his 3rd year. Personnel changing too. It’s part of what hiring a new HC is about. The roster changes.
Piggy, have you met Wedge’s new friend? It’s a little odd the resemblance don’t you think?
Lol
Ha ha
This is going to be a fun offseason. LOL
Cutting Suh this year would only free up 3.9M in cap space. They still will have paid 18 odd million against the cap.
See I knew deep down you love Suh
Can’t do it this year. Nobody is listening to me. We will try to compete this year to be a contender. Depending on what happens will determine the future. If we have a bad season, I see a lot of purging regardless if Gase is still HC. Results rule the day.
Tannehill you do realize New England isn’t a state, right?
They do kind of love themselves under that title, like Great Britain. 😉
Son, I think Suh is a good player. I never hated the player. I hated the deal. He is not worth 17% of the salary cap. Any team that would tie up 17% on one player and leave 83% to be split up between the other 52 players made a bad, bad stupid deal.
It has “nothing” to do with Suh, but since we signed him we have been bottom of the league against the run, why?
Must be Tannehill’s fault huh?
In large part yes Tannehill but I digress…
We need thirty points a game or at least close. We’re not close. That’s the NFL today- first one to thirty
We hold em under thirty
then you agree that wasting 114 million was stupid because it does nothing to get you to 3 points?
Hickey will always have Landry
That’s pretty cool, Jarvis is special
BTW Son, your 30 points is inaccurate.
playoff teams averaged the following points per game last year
Pats 28.62
Buff 18.87
Pitt 25.37
Jax 26.06
Ten 20.87
KC 25.93
Etc, etc, etc Not one team who made the playoffs last year averaged 30 points Most were closer to 25
Actually if you look and manipulate the different orders, accending / decending points for points against
https://www.nfl.com/standings/division/2017/REG?sortField=overallPtsAgainst&sortIsAscending=true
you will see that points against or “defense” is a stronger indicator of who makes the playoffs or not. It may be anecdotal but the correlations is stronger than that of scoring.
Anyway I said 30 or close to it
18 or whatever ain’t close
Juice got a Touchdown or First down on 62% of his 112 receptions. What if that number were only 42%? When you you factor quotients and what not that makes us 4 1/2 and 11 1/2 at least.
Consequently when we start scoring properly his 62% gives us 11 1/2 wins with a good chance of 12. It’s simple mathematics.
$397K per tackle…..
Money well spent
Now get a Quarterback
$658K per solo tackle……
money thrown away with no effect on the seaons’ record.
Son, serious question. Tannehill and Landry have played together for 2.75 years or whatever and somehow Landry is special but the guy getting him the ball is an afterthought? You gotta balance it out a little bit. 2017 was Jarvis’ worst YPCA at 8.8 but he had 9 TDs. Like that number is dominant. Stills did it two years ago and most think he’s solid with speed.
What has Landry done to change our PPG over 4 years?
I love his style of play and his intangibles, but he doesn’t dominate games on the scoreboard. Very good football player, not a top dog.
The style of play and intangibles are the most important part with Landry. You win with guys like him. And because I know you’d yell at me I won’t say “and you don’t win with Opi Taylor” so
Oops
YAC is where it’s at
The blocking is pretty good too
Oh and likes to win
We’ll see what happens, Son. I’m not a fan of mocking names for players especially on our team. Every fan and pundit still talks about the OL but it’s still Tannehill. Until they see Moore and Cutler go through the same thing. 2017 was as bad as it gets. Nope, not Tannehill, but let’s kind of make it seem like that. LOL
Go Phins!!!
And don’t give stats
You’ve seen him with the ball in his hands
Jarvis isn’t your slot receiver
Or your 2 receiver
Or x
Or y
He’s your Juice
Don’t be stupid
Yes and we don’t score so much. He’s not Julio Jones, dude! LOL
Well it’s not in spite of Landry we’re fucked without him.
Fixing the OL is a given
Even though… never mind lol
Like Sam Madison said, add a TE to be a threat and Landry’s value is not the same. That’s the team’s thought. Utilize the RBs and TEs in the passing game more rather than a dominant overpaid slot receiver.
But… you either re-sign him at your number or trade him. If he plays on the franchise tag, I think that’s a negative for the org. Neither side is all in and you do it again in 2019.
Yeah we’ve been so good at drafting or acquiring TE’s
Couldn’t possibly make do with a guy who’s here and proving himself by setting team and league records.
All of a sudden we’re gonna have some special TE.
Same with QB.
You can’t just cut RT17 and expect an upgrade.
Get a QB in here to compete and go from there
And for the record…
I’m still holding out that a deal gets done and Landry is here for a long time.
When we resign Branch, who we got as a FA, they say, ” see we take care of our own”. When it’s Jarvis, not a peep, just trade away a 3 time pro bowler that we actually drafted. SMFH. Dumb
3 days to the legal tamponing period. Get ready for the big kielbasa in the can.
Kenny Stills got a 1st down or td on 72% of his catches. Rishard Matthews, Antonio Brown and Cooper Kupp had better %’s than Landry also. The list goes on and on. What’s your point?
They tried to take care of their own with Landry. But Landry only cares about the money and turned down a fair offer. That’s on Landry and his agent.
^
Gase hasn’t proven who he is as a HC yet, but he sure as hell isn’t complacent. 5 major coaching changes heading into his 3rd year. Personnel changing too. It’s part of what hiring a new HC is about. The roster change
________
Sparano and Philbin weren’t complacent either by that definition
They were more stay the course guys though and it seemed that their hands were forced by upper management a few times.
Totally agree with ER above. I still think Landry is going to be here and it is not as easy to replace Tannehill as some people say it is.
Landry is gonna have to compromise, or I guarantee you he won’t be here long term. I still think he’s all but gone, and he can thank himself and his agent, and people need to STOP blaming the FO. They have done a lot of shit as we know, but this one isn’t on them
I also understand Landry not jumping at the offer we made to him even if it sounds like a fair offer. This is his one chance for his best payday so he is not going to take the offer. He is going to maximize his his earnings
Like I’ve said, I understand Landry wanting a long term deal to “take care of his family”. But if the numbers are correct in what the Dolphins offered, then I agree it’s on Landry. Heck, they offered more than what I would have. I thought 12m/yr was what he was worth.
A lot of talk about cutting Suh, and his 2018 26 mil contract, it looks as if he has 22,200,000 in Dead Money? so from my understanding if Miami cuts him they will eat that number against the cap, is this correct???
I like Suh, i hope we can restructure
I like Suh, but that 26m really hurts.
i don’t think there’s an option unless we restructure, 26 mill with him turns into 22 mill without him, or at least that’s my understanding of the situation
https://www.yahoo.com/sports/m/aebdf552-0698-3b83-ac48-dd3a4e482e62/ss_report%3A-dolphins-have-not.html
I can’t see them cutting Suh this season. Next year his dead cap hit is only (LOL @ only!) $13M, so we would save $15M in cap space if we cut him next season.
Yes. Suh’s Cap hit this year is $26M total. If they cut him they would save $4M in cap while taking a $22M dead cap hit. As I understand it, if they designate him a post June 1 cut, they a little more than half that dead cap into next year, but can’t use the money saved until after June 1.
IF they were to cut Suh, I think Da’Ron Payne suddenly becomes one of the possibilities in the draft.
Vita Vea? Either way, I’m so scared we’re not going to get one of the better OL prospects if we don’t go O-line in the 1st. Then I’m worried we won’t get one of the better TE prospects if we don’t go TE in the 2nd. Odds are, we won’t and we won’t.
I agree. I hope I’m wrong, but I have a feeling we will miss out too.
The only way I can see it working, taking a defensive player in the 1st, is if we get a 2nd for Landry. …Then we take OL and TE in the 2nd, guys like Braden Smith/Billy Price and Hurst/Gesicki/Goedert.
rgs – I also liked Harrison Phillips, who we may be able to get RD 3 if he slips a bit.
I like him too. Former wrestler with great strength, hands and balance. BJ Hill is another guy I like.
I like Suh but hated his contract from day 1. He or any DT just doesn’t impact the game enough to warrant that kind of money. It’s a cap killer
Other than a franchise QB, I don’t think any position warrants that kind of money.
Exactly
That’s what I was trying to yesterday.
rgs – Yeah, B.J. Hill is another guy we could get later on, which is fine with me. I don’t think we’e cutting Suh, so we probably are wasting time with this, but . . .
Yea, it was more a what if…
Ken – I think almost everyone with the exception of the Sonshine St. fan would agree with that sentiment
Yes!
I sure hope so….
That would be ideal for our team Wyo, but I get the feeling unless we move up, it’s not going to happen
Hope a vid of him in a bong mask comes out.
Piggy can photo shop one for us !!
We could make that happen all together……bash the internet with it about pick #5 with a secret message to the Phins that it is just us.
There will be a good prospect @ R1P11
You have to pick someone.
And heck no we ain’t cutting Suh, even if we might trade him that was an option. Wake is the more likely guy on the DL to get traded. Even if hope it would be because he wants a chance at the ring.
At the end of the day all we want as fans is to know we have a chance to win the game each week and to watch exciting football. Not go in worried about this and that and that we have no chance. At least that’s how it is for me. Regardless of who’s on the team, if we play exciting games and win more than we lose I think we fans will be okay with the status of the team. And if we ever do make it to the big dance, I’m not sure how we’ll all be able to handle it. LOL
Imagine if we played the SB against the Philadelphia Lougles
Thank God you’re not the GM of the team
It was a fan based post. I would take a team who’s in the mix every year for the playoffs over where we’ve been for over a decade. Instead of some seasons when you know it’s over with say 4 games left. Sports are suppose to be entertaining and exciting, not constant bitchfests about players and the FO.
It’s pretty wild that Drew Brees is set to be a UFA.
When I bitch about these huge contracts people say: “Well, that’s what the market dictates, so that’s what they’re worth.” But, then everybody wants to complain about them and claim the player isn’t worth it. None of these players give you $20+M “worth” of play. Make up your damn minds. Lol

When I bitch
***************
Whaddaya mean WHEN? lol
MikeE,
Dilly, dilly! Now fuck off! Lol
🙂
Why does a QB we take…or might take…in this draft have to immediately replace Tannehill? You guys have been saying “wait until next year…” with Tannehill his whole career. Doesn’t a new kid get 7 years to develop too? Lol
I’m on board taking a QB. I think it’s time. If Tannehill plays well the next 2-3 years and remains the starter so be it. If not maybe the new young buck beats him out at some point.
Tim,
Minnesota failed to pick somebody in the draft one year, do you don’t necessarily “have” to pick someone….but it’s encouraged. Lol
LOL – I thought of that too, that was insane. I thought about the mayhem that would ensue if T-Bomb and Grier did that.
LOL, that was crazy.
They are really looking to retool their defense.
Would anyone else be willing to take Derwin James if he’s there when we pick? I know we have two good safeties right now but they are both more strong safety. James just looks like he might be a really good player and has a lot of Versatility
I’m sure he’ll be on the board and an option. I’ve read various reports about him. Some people like him a lot and others don’t think his size and athleticism shows up enough on the field. He is known to be the alpha in the room with leaderships skills and he does seem to fit the new sub package type player teams are gravitating too.
Tim,
I just started watching film on James a couple weeks ago. I don’t understand why people would say his athleticism doesn’t show up on the field. There’s lots of film that I watched where he was the best player on the field. I agree though. I think he fits with how the NFL is trending toward hybrid safety/ linebackers.
I think if Tremaine Edmunds or Roquan was there, I’d rather take one of those guys. Nelson would be my choice, but we’re probably S.O.L. for him at #11
Well he always seems to be in the top 15 of the draft so he is highly regarded.
Back to the salt mines….enjoy your Friday, people!
Have a good one Randy!
I know we have our own experts, but?
So Suh might get cut cause we paid him too much and Landry may stay cause we franchised him for too much…….least we know something is gonna happen though.
Does Suh have a no trade clause in his contract?
I don’t think those are allowed anymore
Because if he doesn’t have a no trade clause and you’re saying he may get cut you’re basically telling all the other teams he’s available for trade. Trading him gives another team a cheap option since we’re taking the majority of the hit on the cap and they’re getting a great value. So, we SHOULD get decent compensation from a trade like that.
The problem is when the rest of the league knows you have to cut him they are not going to offer us jack shit and just wait for us to cut him
Yep, that’s how it usually goes, although if there is a team that really wants him, they will make the trade to guarantee they get him, rather than risk a bidding war.
We must be idiots to be fans of this stupid team You mean to tell me this brain trust has decided that the best way for us to get better is to get rid of our best player on offense and our best player on defense.
And commit to Tannehill.
It’s honestly unbelievable.
I think it’s all “speculation”…just something to drum up people to read their stuff.
I said it yesterday….They save 4M cutting Suh….I think he’s worth having for that extra 4M. Lol
you were just Oxymoronic. Get rid of our best player on offense and commit to Tannehill…..
It’s rumor central time.

Browns trading two draft picks to Dolphins for WR Jarvis Landry, sources tell ESPN.
Dumb Fucks
Just remember – The dumb fucks were 6-10 with Suh and Landry, and no Tannehill.
We had Cutler of course we were 6-10
That’s true
Uh oh
PKT said according to Ian Rappaport that it is a 2018 and a 2019 draft pick
“PFT”
Why do I have a feeling we are not getting a 2nd round pick out of this.
Maybe this team is building for a few years down the road. Getting ammunition to move up in the draft, possibly, because if you are trading away your best players(Landry and Suh…and Ajayi too) to build for a few years from now…you draft a QB now…so he’s in year 3 or so when you really believe you will be competing for a serious playoff run. Tannehill still has a year to prove he’s actually a franchise QB. If he does, great! If not, you have a guy who’s already had a year to sit and learn….and the team has had a year to see if he is THE guy to build around. Just spitballing.
This is the Paul Warfield trade in reverse. We’re going to regret this.
All we ever do is build
Build
Build
Build
That’s all the hell we’ve done since we started blogging
Hickey starts bringing in a higher grade of talent and they couldn’t wait to run him out the door.
Now we purge again because our punk coach can’t get his bullshit message to elite talent.
Fuck em all
Sadly, after going into retirement…without a training camp…having no rapport with his teammates or time to learn anything…playing behind a bunch of backups on the OL….receivers who seemed to take the year off….a RB Corp that forgot where the end zone was…broken ribs….Cutler still threw as many TDs as Tannehill did in the previous year in which many on this blog thought was a really good year for him. So…there’s that.
