Restructuring Suh and Tannehill would be a mistake imo. Suh is being paid like a QB, and restructuring Tannehill gives no flexibility if he's injured again or if another QB is drafted who the front office thinks is better.
agree. we gotta eat these deals, esp Suh's. Tannehill's has a ton of flexibility.

ST aces will be resigned.
 
I am not re-signing Jermon Bushrod or Sam Young under any circumstance.

I am not signing any RB's for anything other than the minimum. In 2018 we just can't pay our RB's when you got Drake coming cheap for the next 2 years.

I'd like Fede and Hayes back, depends on the $$.

Jarvis Landry excluded, Cody Parkey might be the most valuable player on that list.
 
What's wrong with Sam young? He's looked pretty good at RT since James went down. Oh and he's like 8 mil dollars cheaper

Agree. $2.5 million is too much for Damien Williams.
 
Sam Young has now played pretty well against Von Miller and Justin Houston.

Why aren't you signing him under any circumstances? You're saying that depth tackles who can put up a decent performance against two of the NFL's elite pass rushers aren't worth getting paid league minimum?
 
I don't know about paying Williams, but Miami needs to sign a back for more than league minimum to compete with Drake and also need to draft a decent back, not talk about a 7th round after thought. Drake If you ignore the position and Drake gets injured you're screwed. Until Drake has had a full year or two as the starter with missing much time due to injury you can't assume he's going to be able to carry the running back load alone. I'm not saying he can't, but you can't assume it.
 
Also confused on the Sam Young hate statement... he has filled in well.

Actually think Brendel, Young, Smith, Davis and maybe Larsen or Asiata would make for great depth on the o-line. Now If you had that group behind a decent starting 5 I would have no worries up front.
 
Young has started 19 games in 9 seasons with 4 teams
will be 31 next season...Career back up at best

I think Davis and Brendel can be solid starters in 2018 actually.

Ozzy rules!!
