I understand where you are coming from. In the end, I just believe Jarvis didn't want to be a Dolphin anymore and that's all there is to it. There was no way for him to mend the relationship with Gase and play for him.
I think he wanted to be a Dolphin. Absolutely. He loved it down here and he is very active with events down here.
But the Dolphins put themselves in a cap position to where he was no longer able to be kept.
They signed all these guys last offseason and Juice didn’t even get an offer. That is insane.
And then most teams they franchise a guy like Jarvis and have enough cap space to negotiate something longterm come June. Of course we don’t have that cap space so you cant even hostage that money until June where you can lower the cap hit via extension.
Tannenbaum looked at Jarvis’ base, like he looked at OV’s base, like he looked at Lamar Miller’s base and said “I ain’t raising that, I can buy other stuff and deal with it later”
And that ultimately soured Jarvis, all season, but yet he came to play and produce, and became a Go To option in the redzone while all these expensive groceries Gase brought in (Cutler, Thomas) did ****.
He was mad, and yea maybe that is some immaturity on his part . . . But Miami **** the bed and now we bring in two WRs with a 14 million AAV but because you can fudge the cap in year one to screw us later, they are better fits than Jarvis who was a direct hit to a poor cap in 2018.
We are a mess, and I can say winning cures all, but who am I to predict we start winning when we are so lost at the top.
