When, when and when

When are ZT and JT gonna rework their contracts?

When is Booker gonna get lower his income to reflect his production?

When are the phins gonna fire their cap guy?

Aside from Ronny brown, Taylor and Thomas (and Surtain but gone) Phins never sign these big money contracts, Seattle has signed two this year, Washigton does it every year, Dallas does it every year and the cap hammer never seems to fall on them - 27 year old probowl players are worth the big money. Miami never overpaying for these players and still little room under the cap? There is a problem here!

I guess to try to clear this up some

1. It was reported earlier the JT and ZT were gonna rework their contracts to create some cap space, it hasn't been done. Was asking when that might happen. Don't think thats an absurd question.

2. Brooker getting 3,100,000 this year for a 2nd receiver with his production. Don't think thats absurd to question that.

3. The only huge FA offering I can remember miami offering was to Olin Krutz a probowl center that we lost out on. Culpepper has a cap hit this year of a 1 mill base and 1.1 mill bonus, not really a big money signing here, just a big player signing. Further this board has been flooded with folks wanting all the top big money free agents inwhich we have aquired none of them. Granted we has signed alot of players that I like and belive Saban has done an outstanding job with that.

I was not implying that Saban has not shopped and aquired some great BARGIN talent, he has but that should reflect in in our available cap moneys and it doesn't. We are never way under the cap like minny (and they signed a ton of good expensive players last year) Somehow these teams keep spending big money and still are able to spend more. We should be able to do this too some how. Not saying just go over spend, but if we have a chance to sign a 27 year old probowl LB like Lavar or Peterson we should be able to do it and not be scared to spend the big signing bonus. If we can't afford to do this for just one player here and there Ithink we have a problem with how our contracts are designed to make best use of the cap.

Ouch, that Jets fan thing did hurt.

Wtf?????

wtf is right!

Let's fire Nick too, while we're at it, huhyuck huck.He's ultimately in charge of personnel decisions.

When the media asks, we'll say he was fired because a "Puffboy(ricky)" didnt know the names of a high enough percentage of the players he signed.

Are you a Jets fan in disguise? :wink:

Don't be jealous of others teams free spending. We do it aswell we are just more economic about it. Remember Saban is still trying to fix what Wanny and Speilman messed up.

Well Saban's not fixing Wanny's and Speilman cap situation, they actually left him in good shape on that, remember all the fA signings last year..this is now Saban's cap job, and I don't see the problem really..:confused:

Some??? Sometimes most of them!!! :sidelol:

Do you want to spend like Washington, and get their results?

Or

Do you want to spend like New England, and get their results?





Saban's going the NE route....

First of all, they will probably only rework their deals if they need the cap room.

Second, Daunte Culpepper is a big money acquisition.

Finally, how many of these teams that spend so much every year actually succeed in this league, sure hasn't done much for Washington or Dallas. Bear in mind Seattle let Hutchinson go, so they replaced one big money deal with another, Washington let Arrington go...same thing.

You win by building a team, not by signing a couple primadonnas.

Whoa, whoa, hold on fella. I think u r going overboard in your assumptions. But I also wonder, "Where the hell has all our money gone?" There r teams with higher paid players and in better condition than we r.

What would you rather have?

four 5 million capable guys
or
three 1 million scrubs and one 17 million star

it looks like saban prefers the first option

I actually agree with some of the things the guy brings up. It does seem like the Dolphins rarely spend big time money on free agents but are always in cap hell every year and I have always wondered why also. You never see them have cap space like the Browns or Vikings do this year.

Yeah, Culpepper is big money... I don't think going out and spending 55 million on Peterson or 49 million on Hutchison is very smart... We have many holes to fill and we can't spend it all on 1 player that when he gets his money might not perform like he used to.
