Just as a reminder. Those 5th and 6th round comp picks can easily be canceled out, if Miami signs any F/A to similar deals.
They won’t be. Miami wil be mostly signing cut players that don’t count against formula

I am sick.
We have seemingly somehow never handled comp picks very well.Just as a reminder. Those 5th and 6th round comp picks can easily be canceled out, if Miami signs any F/A to similar deals.
I look at the big picture; Miami has not had an above average o-line in a long, long, time, so not one of their o-linemen is irreplaceable. Just because Hunt was one of Miami's best o-linemen doesn't mean much because overall, the line still wasn't great with him in it. Hopefully, Armstead will be gone after this upcoming season (if he even makes it through the season). And, Williams can go too... Miami needs a real Center, not an injured wannabe with occasional bad snaps and penalties.Damn, that’s INSANE money for Hunt! Even if Miami had plenty of cap room, that’s the kind of contract that gets you in trouble.
I know there’s plenty of pissed off Dolphin fans today but they need to try and remember that these players are leaving on contracts that you DO NOT want to see Miami matching- even if they could.
Can't have it both ways. Some folks just hate Grier. On one side they say he can't draft for beans, but on the other how he's letting players get signed away. The value of the player is determined by what another team will pay them. With the big contracts some of them are getting, looks like Grier hit on a few picks... Just sayin' Every team has hits & misses. At least we're not the Broncos paying a cat $39M to go place for another team....Damn, that’s INSANE money for Hunt!

Don’t get me wrong, today is no fun for us, but 2 offseasons from now, you’re gonna see the Raiders and Panthers trying to find ways out of the Wilkins and Hunt contracts.
Winning in free agency always looks great at the time, but it usually comes at a heavy cost. We’ve been on both sides of this coin before.
Well said. Also, any fan lamenting the loss of Hunt will do well to remember that the dude was injured for the better part of last year and parlayed that into a $100 million.Can't have it both ways.

Still a darn silly contract . 20m per for a guard ???The cap went up.
CAUSING this.
I might have done this... maybe, but it's a lot.Still a darn silly contract . 20m per for a guard ???
I love my lineman but nope…
This x1000I look at the big picture; Miami has not had an above average o-line in a long, long, time, so not one of their o-linemen is irreplaceable.

What I'd like to see is four new starters with only Jackson keeping his job, provided he keeps improving. With luck, Grier will admit that he sucks at building the o-line and have someone else pick those guys. Either that, or he gets rid of his list of what things to look for in an o-lineman and looks for the opposite.
The only way that looks good is if they switch him to RT. And even then that is questionable. Holy smokes that was a lot of money. And that wasn't even Quenton Nelson.I might have done this... maybe, but it's a lot.
I wanted the continuity, and I was willing to overpay a bit...
But admittedly, that's more than a bit. It might look better in 2 years due to salary creep... but maybe not.
Quoting myself because I looked at this and realized that I said the same thing after the 2021 season. That year Miami had the worst o-line in the League, a historically bad o-line. And this was after Grier had ten picks in the first and second rounds of the 2020 and 2021 drafts, along with their later picks and a ton of space under the cap. I said that Miami needed four new starters on the o-line for 2022, and that Hunt was the only starter worth keeping.What I'd like to see is four new starters with only Jackson keeping his job, provided he keeps improving.
