Hill was worth the 1st. He's made Tua look good.

Apparently I misread/didn't know what I was looking at. Apologies.

 

I guess they have:

Their 2nd rounder

Their 3rd or the *Patriots 3rd

Their 5th (just traded to the 9ers)

The Bears 6th

Their 7th

Honestly it's probably better than using them since they're terrible at drafting.  It's going to be interesting to see how they manage their cap going forward because those guys have to be their core.

I saw a Tweet a bit ago that said they were 23rd in the league in cap space for next year. Which means they are going to have to be creative because in all likelihood, that isn't much.

I don't like that the Dolphins are acquiring these premium players but I'm wondering how far they think they're going to go with no QB.

They are going to have to get really creative to be able to pay people or gut that team and still be in cap hell I believe

How many QBs did Miami have?

 

 

 

 

Trick question, right?

 

The correct answer is the same as they have today, which is 0.  Right?

I'll be honest. After watching him play for us during the '17 and '18 seasons, I thought what the &#%$ are we doing? I had misgivings about the new regime and thought we would be on to the next in a couple years. Happy to say I was wrong. Still don't understand what the hell the Benjamin thing was all about but, that's okay. He was the offensive equivalent of Vontae Davis, but he figured he could collect that paycheck each week just by walking in the door.

 

From a results standpoint, I agree with the comparison between Kelvin Benjamin and Vontae Davis. But from a character standpoint I see a big difference.

 

Vontae Davis held himself up to a standard. When he became too old to meet that standard anymore, he retired at halftime. Cost himself a lot of money in the process, because the Bills would have had to pay him the rest of that season's salary, had they released him. Because he retired, they didn't have to pay him that salary.

 

Kelvin Benjamin, on the other hand, did the following. Show up, collect the paycheck. Put in just enough effort that they can't technically accuse you of quitting.

Right. I believe I said as much in my subsequent posting on the matter.

I'd like to see the breakdown. According to Spotrac, they only had $12.5 mm in cap space next year.

Waddle is going to be a problem

When the Fish get a QB, that team will be dangerous.  But, having 2 burners plus Gesecki don't really flip the game when the Fishies version of Chad Pennington is trying to get them the ball.

 

Hoping the Fish never give up on Tua.  He's the thing keeping this rivalry from getting back to Kelly Marino quality.
