The team wasn't winning ish this year how about not overpaying for anyone. How about thinking about the future and not overpaying free agents when your team is no where near championship caliber. How about finding aa real GM and hiring some scouts they can actually identify good players. You don't see teams like Green Bay or New England strapping their cap by overpaying every top FA that hits the market and those teams are Superbowl contenders and not teams that struggle to reach .500 like the Dolphins. The Dolphins overpay for free agents every year and can't even make the playoffs in a crappy conference. What does that tell you.
He was paid what he was worth. Not his fault he has the worst LBs in the league and zero help on the line now that Wake is gone. When Wake was healthy, it was clear what he brought when played correctly, granted not to GameCenter Stat-watchers, but to anybody who knew what they were looking at. It also didn't prevent us from signing anybody else, so your whining has even less merit. LB should have been addressed long before as it's been an issue for years. We continue to fail at drafting them and certainly fail at bringing them in as FAs.
In other words, get over it. It had literally zero impact on where this team is today. If anything, it's the only bright spot.
