The scrappers. That’s pretty much what we had left at the end of the season and much to their credit, they held their own pretty well. Guys like Nik Needham, Ken Webster, Ryan Lewis and a cast off like Jomal Wiltz. Xavien Howard was already on IR as was Bobby McCain, yet the secondary wasn’t a glaring weakness. Xavien Howard’s availability is still up in the air despite the charges being dropped. His physical health is also in question with his twice injured knee. I’m not even going to construct a depth chart because so much is up in the air. I suppose I could pencil in Xavien Howard at LCB if he’s healthy and there are no ramifications of the domestic battery situation December 30th 2019. I’m expecting us to be active in both FA and the draft shoring up this secondary. You can never have too many good cornerbacks,
In free agency, the first guy that jumps out at me is former Bills and eagles CB Ronald Darby. He just turned 26, and while not an INT machine, he’s a solid cover corner and a scrapper as well. Trae Waynes formerly of the Minnesota Vikings will just be turning 28 and while he’s not a guy who snares a lot of INT’s, he’s also a pretty good cover corner. Artie Burns former Pittsburgh Steeler will yet to be 25 and while still a little raw with his skills, he’s been a starter and may still have potential. Eli Apple and Vernon Hargreaves were top prospects that fizzled out in their 1st stints in the NFL but might me worth a shot. Bashaud Breeland who has been on 3 teams is only 28 and has been a successful starter.
In the draft there are a few top shelf CB’s available and with 3 first RD picks and 2 second RD picks we will have a shot at a few of them. Jeff Okudah from Ohio St. seems to be the unanimous top prospect. It really varies after Okudah with C.J. Henderson, Treyvon Diggs and Kristian Fulton jumbled in many different orders. This may seem strange but what we did last year with Nik Needham, Ryan Lewis, Ken Webster etc. etc., I’m thinking we may not choose to use one of our high picks on a CB. If we do, it’s probably for a couple of reasons, one being they feel Howard can’t be relied upon. I think we may let the best CB’s fall where they may while we shore up the O-line and pass rush and possibly RB and then look in the 2nd and 3rd at other positions. We’ll see! The combine begins later this week so the fun begins as speculation runs rampant! Enjoy!
GO DOLPHINS!!

LOL
I also like Cowboy’s Byron Jones and Panthers James Bradberry as free agent CB’s. Despite Jones not having any INT’s the last 2 years, they say he is the best cover corner and most versatile of all the free agent CB’s. Dallas used him to cover the other teams best receiver whether is was OBJ on the outside, coving a speedy slot receiver or covering a premier TE.
Mike,
Nice article. I’m also of the mindset after seeing what the staff did w/ the DBs last year and NE’s history of getting quality play from less heralded DB’s to not spend a premium pick on a corner. I’m fine w/ a safety in RD2, but corner I hope they look more in the mid to late rounds for the scheme fits.
Thanks DBolt! I think that’s possible, waiting a bit to get a CB. Watch us take Jeff Okudah at #5. LOL
I think adding edge rushers and getting more pass rush out of the DTs will help the secondary look even better. They held up pretty well when QBs had a lot of time to throw but you can’t cover a guy forever.
Okudah gets the attention!
But I like Damon Arnette a lot!
Good write up Mike E

Great take Mike E.
Have a weird take on the secondary and the DBs in general. Not trying to take away from the “scrappers” but think they showed how our D scheme can work. So I am figuring the more the merrier. …. but not necessarily the studs of the studs. Just improve the overall talent level and have more to compete and plug in. On the last as to both different looks and in case of injury.
The idea is to get better at every position when you can. Grier and Flores are looking for specific types of players. Like Flores said in the post from Wyo, they want to know what they’re made of, they already have tape on them as football players. They want to know what kind of people these guys are.
Darn sure they want to get at every position, but even with all our stuff in the off season have to pick and choose where to concentrate. On D would look more DE and edge. Not that folks won’t be coming in everywhere.
Our secondary last year was atrocious. Bottom of the league bad. They gave up the most passing TD’s of any team with 38 which is really bad considering teams could run it at will on us. our backs gave opposing teams a 101.9 passer rating against our backs (4th worse in the league) and gave up almost 4200 yards in the air. (this is with the team easily giving up over 2100 yards on the ground) They may have looked ok in spots but they sucked hard early in the year, even with X back there.
we went 5-4 over the last 9 games, we seem to get better as the season went on. that’s a good sign.
The entire defense was not ready because of a very different philosophy. No pass rush equals poor pass defense. The stats are more reflective of a lack of pressure. It’s not the other way around.
They had no Jones, X or McCain most of the season. Was real surprised at how good they did look.
And Minkah and TJ too…isn’t that like everyone? 🙂
TJ never made the team and isn’t even in the league anymore.
Jones, Minkah and TJ were still out big 3 safeties walking into the season. We worried if there were enough reps to go around.
Dick Pound
I think we may let the best CB’s fall where they may while we shore up the O-line and pass rush and possibly RB and then look in the 2nd and 3rd at other positions. We’ll see!
________________________________
With our cap space I think there may be a focus on shoring up the OL with vets in FAcy, such as the Titans Jack Conklin.
I would sure like us to get Armstead from the niners as well
The Bills Kevin Johnson would be a good pick up in FAcy.
Hi my name is Dick Pound and i am a former competitor in the 85 Olympics. I took home the gold in pole vault and a silver in Javelin.
Conklin, Peat, and Dupree/Fowler would be a nice FA haul.
Yes it would
And don’t forget Beasly
Or Yannick Ngakoue.
I can’t spell his name though
I’m going to repost what I said a few years ago after listening to Tony Dungy in an interview with Mike Francesa on WFAN radio. He said on defense you target pass rushers because you can find solid DBs in later rounds. If you don’t have a pass rush it doesn’t matter who is covering anyone.
I agree
Me too! LOL
LOL @ Piggy. Just call him Yannick… of the pass… Yannick! 😉
Stanger because we didn’t have those guys and are thin at the position is why I think we should invest in both a S and CB this draft. Maybe not one of our 1’s but early. X if he can only stay healthy is a good building block, but he is on his 2nd contract is expensive now. That was my main purpose for pointing out the suck fest by the backups last season.
the fallacy that the pass defense got better toward the end of the year is not proven out statistically. Individuals, like Needham may have gotten marginally better, but as a group we gave up more TD through the air in the 2nd half of the season than we did the 1st half, similarly we gave up more yards per game and more yards per play the second half. We SCORED more is why we won.
(Jackson’s 6 TD’s in game one really weighs for the first half of the year.
Wasn’t saying don’t take folks in the secondary. Just talking priorities. Could see a posse of them btwn FA and the draft. Just not high priced or up high.
Burrow says he’s noncommittal about playing for the Bengals, because they may not pick him. Sure sounds like, if they were to pick him, he wouldn’t want to play for them. Why else would he say that
Maybe they use the 2nd 2nd and a third, or maybe we find another Jones in the 5th.
Tim, we definitely need more pass rush which would have helped our backs last year.
^
It all starts there. QBs who get 2 or less seconds will always have less production than when they get more time than that. It’s basically physics! LOL
This league pays good and great QBs big money and the ones who hunt them down.
Ok, here’s my 3 round mock draft for February if Burrows and Tua go before we pick.
Rd 1 (5th) Derrick Brown-DT, Auburn
Rd 1 (14th) Andrew Thomas-OT, Georgia**
Rd 1 (26th) Cesar Ruiz-C/OG, Michigan
Rd 2 (39th) Damon Arnette-CB, Ohio St.
Rd 2 (52nd) Antoine Winfield Jr- S, Minnesota***
Rd 2 (56th) Clyde Edwards-Helaire- RB, LSU
** traded 3rd round pick to move up to #14.
***traded for Gurley
FA signings- 1 pass rusher and 2 OL …you can fill in the names.
The focus was OL(4), DL(2), RB(2), and Secondary(2).
Killing it in the trenches!!! Love it! I want all three of those lineman, that would be awesome if we could swing that
Only thing we ignored there is pass rushers, so that needs to be taken care of, unless we do it in FA
It was listed under FA signings in my post.
i think we take Tua if he’s there and i heard some stuff about miami trading up with their next pick to get a LT.
chris jones of the jags would be a great fa
Dbolt posted about this recently
And I will say the same thing – we should be able to get an OT at 18
chris jones chiefs
FA top Edge guy and draft one by day 2. Then you have guys like Charlton, Biegel and Van Ginkel etc… with other blitz concepts.
The bottom line is to have good QB play and make the QB uncomfortable. Yes run defense is important but big plays win more games than grind the clock these days.
Tua throws a great bubble screen.
if you draft a qb i still think you keep Rosen, this has to be Fitz’s last year if he stays with Miami, after this year you let Rosen and whomever you draft fight for the starting job.
after all you’ve invested a 2nd and 5th for rosen, getting rid of him shows you made a mistake doing that and he has a very friendly contract.
I really think Hebert would be Tannehill#2
Yannick Ngakoue
Yeah, Yeah, it still shows how brittle he is. LOL
Good!!!
Good!!!
Did he play against Brown and Kinlaw?
I think Kinlaw did not play in the game, Brown wasnt at Senior Bowl
I see we are interviewing OTs
Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Burrow says he’s noncommittal about playing for the Bengals, because they may not pick him. Sure sounds like, if they were to pick him, he wouldn’t want to play for them. Why else would he say that
——————————————————
Depends on how he was asked, but its seems very diplomatic, kinda a hedging your bets kind of statement so as not to let anyone else that might move up for him think he has his mind made up to play for them.
I think Burrow has made clear that he doesn’t want to be in Cincy, but will play for them and sure as heck hoping someone trades up to #1. At that point guess the negative on picking him is what happens 5 years down the road.
Skins cut Reed, and i would be very interested in him, but he has never been able to stay healthy. Maybe a 1 year contract, i dunno though. Its a really shitty year for TE prospects in the draft, with his history he wouldn’t be overly expensive. Ill admit though i have wanted him on our team since his draft year, but at this point he should probably be mulling retirement. Real shame, he could have been a great one.
Read has had 7 concussions. No way.
And so has Reed.
Texans released Hargreaves. He would be a somewhat cheap guy who could at least give us depth if not a starter opposite X.
trade back and then draft Jordan Love, he may be the next Mahomes
D – I didn’t read the question carefully that was posed to Hennessy. I thought it was just which DL that you faced was the toughest, so I was wondering if he played Kinlaw and Brown
Reed has Jordan Cameron written all over him! Don’t do it!
Tend to agree….I feel bad for Reed.
Tua came out of medicals lookng great. I wonder if now his draft stock will rise again.
Plenty of drafts have had QBs taken 1 & 2.
Does that mean we trade up? The Lions are at #3.
Will the Chargers try to leap over us?
They must draft a QB.
Arians is sounding like he is tired of Winston.
I don’t think TB has the means to jump over us, but they might try, which would drive up the price.
Is Tua worth all 3 of our 1sts?
Um, no. I will lose faith in this group in a hurry if they were to get fleeced like that. It would be Miami’s luck to give up 3 1st rounders for Tua and have him be the next Sam Bradford.
As for Herbert, he does seem like Tannehill 2.0. I don’t know if I can handle another 7 years of fan bitching like we had with the last Tannehill. Not to mention 7 to 9 wins each year…
Give me Burrows or Tua without being fleeced or move on to next year with our QB search.
I don’t see Herbert being Tannehill 2.0. I’d take Herbert in a heartbeat after seeing the shit route combinations that Oregon put together. Honestly if you stay at 5 and take Tua you could have something like this in the first 2 rounds:
Herbert
Thomas
Gross-Matos
Cushionberry
Jonathan Taylor
I think it’s kind of unfair to compare prospects before they even played in the NFL to this guy and that guy that wasn’t good or not great or whatever. None of us know how these guys will pan out yet. Teams do their due diligence on these guys and make a choice. As we know sometimes the guys who people think are meh end up being really good and the ones who were expected to be great end up being meh.
I think you can try to compare, but if you’re not honest with yourself when comparing them to each other them to each other then it’s a lesson in failure.
Unfair? Like it matters what we say or think as fans, it’s just part of the predraft fun. …whatever.😐
Don’t take it personal, I see a lot of people doing this about lots of prospects.
I’m not taking it personal, but everyone does seems more annoying this year predraft. …Fans, media, and the “experts”. Maybe it’s because Miami is being talked about a lot more with all this draft capital, or maybe it’s all this talk about giving up a lot of that capital to move up 2 friggin spots for Tua, or just the QB talk in general, but I have already stopped looking at mock drafts and I’m slowly doing the same with forums/blogs. I might just take a break and get back into all this right before the draft. I just hope Miami doesn’t screw this up. It’s not every year you get this many high picks, not to mention 2 years in a row.

Damn – Everyone must be glued to the news or laid up with Corona-virus. No one is posting.
Some interesting thoughts on the QBs
http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000001102745/article/2020-nfl-scouting-combine-biggest-questions-for-top-five-qbs
Thedraftnetwork is posting a ton of articles on players at the combine. I won’t blow you up with a ton of posts. You can just go to this link. Good reading for those who are interested or have time. After reading the article on Herbert has me thinking I have been a little critical on him. The last 16 articles are on:
OT Mekhi Becton
RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire
OT Austin Jackson
C Tyler Biadasz (talks about his injuries)
OT Isaiah Wilson
OT Trey Adams
RB Jonathan Taylor
OT Lucas Niang
OT Andrew Thomas
OT Prince Tega Wonogho
QB Justin Herbert
QB Jacob Eason
WR Michael Pittman
QB Jalen Hurts
TE Cole Kmet
WR Brandon Aiyuk
https://thedraftnetwork.com/
I didn’t realize RT Isaiah Wilson is almost as mammoth as LT Mekhi Becton. He’s 6’7″ and 350. Draft them both and we will have over 700 pounds of 6’7″ OT’s. Damn!
I’m working in a different office today, covering for my coworker who is taking a few vacay days. I always hate that fish out of water feeling when I go to a different office. There are always things that come up where you don’t know about something or you can’t find something, stuff like that. The office is aiight, just get a little anxious.
Just figure out who that other guy always goes to first when has a question…. and all will be cool.
BBMike – All that size scares me when you got guys running around or by them that they can’t get their hands on.
MikeE., I have no concerns about Becton’s mobility. He’s a freak! Some scouting comments on Becton:
-He’s smooth! Appreciate how clean his feet are.
-His punch and extension will uproot defenders and physically uproot them a few yards at a time. Pretty awesome to watch him throw hands/create space instantly with upper body power. Plenty of length to extend and run rushers past the QB.
-Top shelf strength throughout his entire frame and unlike most big guys at this stage, he’s got mobility to apply it in lateral or angular situations where his whole frame isn’t aligned. He’s terrific at the point of attack to create space.
-Folks this big aren’t supposed to move this well. He’s so fluid for a big man and as a result he’ll gear down and pick off scraping LBs with ease.
-Rare mobility through his hips and shows plenty of hinge laterally to play with forcible power on turnout blocks and when looking to long-arm edge setters out from a gap.
-Devastating power and it wasn’t often a fair fight in college. Has the raw power needed to uproot defensive linemen and blast them out of their run fit.
-It’s surprising to see him operate under such smooth body control and balance given his measurables. He breaks all the stereotypes for blockers of his size.
Wilson, is not that mobile actually and it is said he plays with “heavy feet”. He is projected around 4th or 5th round. I would rather have RT Saahdiq Charles or Prince Tega Wonogho on the right side opposite Becton or Thomas.
It’s smoke and mirrors time, but some how have a feeling not how Brady will work it.
“Tom Brady is currently operating under the belief that he will enter free agency to play somewhere other than New England next season, a sentiment the quarterback has shared with others, sources told ESPN’s Jeff Darlington.”
I’d be real funny if no one wanted him. LOL
Teams will want him — but will it be a team Brady wants to be on is the real Q. Dude has crazy money cause he married rich.
I used to traverse waters like that in my Haitian canoe. Ain’t nuthin’!
Mmmmmmmmmmm-Kay
Stop doing drugs. Drugs are bad Mmmmmm-kay
Idiot just can’t help himself. Mark Walton arrested again.
He really just needs an 11th chance
Yeah Phish that actually might be Caimans
I don’t think they are as dangerous as 🐊 but they probably aren’t nice either if they are hungry
I heard they are a great live show! The one on the right is the baritone
That’s a fact. They somewhere between a gator and a croc on the aggressive scale. But when there is that many in a frenzy, anything else in the water is a snack.
They live on a diet of Phish….so….good luck buddy
Lol…I’m a predatory Phish…
I have mocked Josh Uche to us as a later round edge guy several times in my mocks the past few weeks. I didn’t realize that his old position coach at Mich is not the Dolphins LB coach…I may have been more accurate with my mock than I knew at the time.
https://www.miamidolphins.com/news/michigan-linebackers-rave-about-new-dolphins-assistant-coach
***is NOW the Dolphins LB coach
I’ve seen plenty of Alligators in person (one walked across my parking lot here in the middle of town yesterday so women in the office refused to leave) and I’ve seen american crocs way down south around the cape and the keys (salt water only) but I have never seen a Cayman as they don’t live in Florida.
I’ve never seen a Cayman either
I’ve seen hundreds of gators and some crocs too where the salt and fresh water meet in the keys
but that video was in Brazil
So we are guessing that’s what they are – and they look a little smaller than crocs or gators so it makes sense
Well Goddam Rock, if I had known that’s all you had to do to get women to say around…
If that’s all it took to be Harvey Weinstein…
Do Caymans have all those shell company accounts?
Did you guys see the video of the Javelin running in Arizona?

Tanny lining up for the Pats….. man would that be a trip.
Gonna go with Brady either retires or plays in Vegas though.
You lads and lass ready for the collapse of civilization and the rule of law?
You like hitting the board like it is Tinder and looking for preppers? 🙂
Only if Herd is a prepper. The rest of you are too…hairy for my tastes.
What’s happening now?
Corona-virus. CDC says you should have at least two weeks of food on hand. When everything shuts down.
Got me an Epipen and a 50 lb bag of rice. So I guess I’m ready for an allergic reaction and some stirfry.
Problem is I don’t have any allergies, and I’m kinda sick of stirfry, so I guess I’m screwed.
But what about the bananas?
I’ll have to learn to live without 😦
Gonna go get a shit ton of steaks and bacon. If I only have 2 weeks, they’re gonna be 2 good fucking weeks!
That’s the spirit!
LMAO!!!!
Phelon — It has at least hit the next stage. If they can’t figure out why that one guy who never left the US got it….. least means some cornavirus dogs have jumped the fence are running wild. Dog and Cav are closest to the fence that was jumped.
And apparently you can catch it twice
My 2 mid round favs with 4.40 forty times. Devin Duvernay and Antonio Gibson.
Actually, their official times were sub 4.4. Get one of them! Both play the slot. Gibson is also a returner and plays running back. Gibson’s offensive plays were about 50/50 running/receiving. Very versatile.
Devin Duvernay is like a powerful running back playing slot.
With sub 4.4 speed.
I would love to have Gibson!
Stang,
Yeah, the community case was at UC Davis which is about 15 miles from my house. Meh, I got the H1N1 when that happened and it sucked, but my family are a hardy bunch. I’m not too worried about any of us getting a cold virus, even an amped up one.
Might want to think about getting flu shots for you and yours. Won’t help with the new bug, but symptoms are similar. So if have the shot and they come up helps sort out if the new one.
I wouldn’t worry about the bug. It’s the dopes that will riot when food and gas get short for a couple of days/
That’s what I thought you were alluding to in a sarcastic way. Not making light of any strain of flu/disease/epidemic. But we’ve seen this before every few years and the world doesn’t die. Hey if it happens to me, oops! LOL
I was being semi-sarcastic. The upper end of average.
LOL @ upper end of average sarcastic.
Yeah, the over-reaction is worse than the actual pandemic (at least so far in my experience with H1N1, etc). I don’t stress about it, but have the same mentality as you Tim. If it happens to me AND it kills me, oops!
I just got home and the wife told me the college she works at has COVID-19 exposure, so we’ll probably get hit at some point. I’ve read up on it. It’s mostly respiratory, treat it like a flu, push liquids, ride it out. From what I’ve read, a large number of people only experience mild cold symptoms, so shrug.
We’ll take it as it comes. I’m not stocking up like it’s the end of the world, lol.
Me either on the stocking up for the end of the world. On the other hand, I always have lots of ammo anyway.
Why waste money on 2 weeks of food when you can just kill your neighbors and take their food
Release the sick Piggy!
Or at least the squirrels and. Deer in their back yard.

The U75 on the radio this morning says, Burrow debunked all the rumors that he doesn’t want to play for the Bengals, by saying so. That’s like saying Bloomberg apologizing for his racist comments means he’s not a racist.
do we dump rashad jones?
if we do he hits our cap at 10m
if we dont he hits it at 15m
a difference of 5 m.
i think they keep him if they can’t trade him.
Albert Wilson, he hits our cap at 10m and if we dump him it’s 1m
I can definitely see wilson gone unless he restuctures his contract to team friendly
I agree, but with Jones I don’t think you can get anything for him, except a negative return.
I’m fine either way stays or goes with both.
It would be nice to keep some vets on this team that have been loyal to this franchise, like Jones
I think it sends a good message to the other players
There’s a pragmatic argument about $, but do we really need to try to save every penny right now?
If anyone would trade for Jones, I think we would have to agree to pay a large portion of his salary.
I think Jones sticks at those numbers unless he is traded, which doubt is possible. And we do need safeties.
I have a strong feeling Baun is going to be a Dolphin
Walton got arrested again….. how stupid can this guy be? He has now had six criminal cases in about a year.
—————————-
“Walton’s latest arrest was Thursday morning for allegedly violating a protective order [in place from previous charges for assaulting the Mom of his kids]. Officers responded to a domestic dispute about 3:30 a.m. at an Opa-locka home near the intersection of Northwest 32nd Avenue and Northwest 132nd Terrace.”
Reminds me of Cecil “The Diesel”
Read the story before you comment

You were expecting journalism?
And get past the headline , through the Tua so unhappy parts and at the end is — ““It doesn’t change how he feels about Miami,” the source said. “Miami is the place for him.”
And ultimately what’s it matter? It’s the draft and not free agency.
Who gives a flying fuck what he feels? He’s not on our team yet and we don’t need to announce to the whole world that we’ll do whatever it takes to get him.
I thought maybe they let Rock in on the interview
Lol…… I think Rock and a bottle of homeraid could land any FA.
Stanger, I wouldn’t risk a prospects health by letting them sample that poison. LOL If I wanted a guy on my team the last thing I would do would be to give him any Homeraide. That shit will shut down your organs.
So you just share it with your friends instead. 🙂
Pretty big sense of entitlement there.
Except don’t assume it’s even remotely close to accurate
He’s quoting some one (a “source”) who is telling him what Tua was thinking…wtf
At best that’s hearsay
At worst it’s made up
That’s all journalism today. No facts, just unverified sources and the thinking of someone close to or in the same room as the subject at some point. I trust meteorologists more. I even trust lawyers more…lol.
Who the fuck is the “source” that knows how Tua felt? The part in quotations, are they quotes from the source or quotes from Tua? Omar is such a fucking hack. Word to Tua. The PRESS and dumbass fans have been all over your jock, not the team. Did the “source” say if Tua expected the Dolphins staff that he met with to gush and tell him that they were going to pick him? THAT’S NOT HOW THINGS WORK IN THE WORLD KID. Fucking waste of 3 minutes of my life reading that trash.
Bookman, he would not have left the meeting feeling unsure if I had been there and the headline would have been totally different. Headline – “Tua learns that the Dolphins never had any interest in him and it was only the stupid ass “reporter” Armando from the Herald that started BS rumors”
Didn’t need to read it!
All I had to see was the “Braided coconut’s” name at the top!
The video of Omar glowing during Tua’s press availability the other day made me want to puke.
It source was probably Tua’s fucking mom. nuff said
I’m betting the source was Herbert’s agent.
Oh, Mr. Tua, it is so nice to finally meet our savior face to face. I have been waiting for this moment my entire life” Brian Flores gushed when he came into the room after dropping to his knees. “I cant tell how excited I am (giggles like a girl) would you please be our quarterback sir?”
I mean I’m sure Tua a will get a warm fuzzy interview with Oakland then Later when he thinks back about John Gruden telling him”I’ll treat you like my own son just like I did with Chris Simms.” he has the fear of God placed back in him.
If the source is accurate, this would not be the first red flag for me on Tua. What did he expect the Dolphins to roll out the red carpet, give him a big hug and say you’re our guy! Have a sense of entitlement much??
Now, knowing Omar, the source could have been another team who wants to draft Tua, picks after #5 and doesn’t want to trade up for him. They saw how the gas mask thing worked for us so they are trying to sour the Dolphins on Tua. LOL
I do hope someone trades ahead of us to draft Tua and that was before this questionable article.
The thing with Reshad is does he fit the culture of team first and do what is needed to win, and not worry about snaps and stats?
Or is he taking up a spot from a young upside player could be using for development? Jones will go down as one of my favorite defenders from the last 10yrs, but probably best to move in a different direction.
Now would be the time to go young and I’m sure the team would like to move on but his cap sucks so I’m not sure what they will do.
Much chips to play with this off season…… only so much you can do. And Jones could be the savvy vet leader in there. Hope the team sorta of leaves it up to him. Maybe he wants to play for a true contender.
It’s the reverse of divorce:
Expensive to release him, but more expensive to keep him😂
LOL @ DBolt!
LOL ditto!!!
Good one for sure….. but man do I wish had my first wife on a contract with a set ending time. Coach’s decision was to cut her and live with the dead money. 🙂
The source isn’t accurate guys
And it says nothing about who Tua
It’s just Twitterella speaking in a mirror to make a story
Read the quotes. The first quote states “how am I” emphasis in the word “I” as if it is Tua
The second quote says “he felt weird” emphasis on the word “he” as if it’s another person
There was not a “source”
The quotes must come from two different people if they are accurate
Or at a minimum One is projecting what Tua felt
But the reality is – it’s probably bullshit
And Omar just can’t keep his story straight
There is no reason to put that stuff in Quotes if it actually wasn’t said by Tua
I smell bs

LOL, I wonder if the reporter asking the question had a name that rhymes with Doh!mar Jelly
Sounds like Okudah is a shutdown corner in more ways than one.
