I would be shocked if any of these guys were on the roster next year. Maybe Wake if he really wants to stay in South Florida and takes a pay cut.

Only the Dolphins’ actions will reveal the club’s true intentions on tanking vs. playing to win. It will happen soon, with NFL free agency starting next week. And it will be reflected in what Miami does with its three biggest-name veterans: Running back Frank Gore, defensive end Cameron Wake and, oh yeah, quarterback Ryan Tannehill.

In tank mode, all three will be gone.

If they’re actually competing, all three being back for one more season (under the right circumstances) might be the smart play.

I REALLY hope that we keep Gore and Wake around as locker room presences and at the very least mentors for the young guys. They both have some gas left in the tank, and I'd especially love to watch Wake finish his career as a Dolphin unless he goes to a Super Bowl contender (not the Pats) and gets the ring he deserves.
 
the whole "tank" BS is so ridiculously nauseating...

Here's the truth:

We're "proactively competing for a top 10% draft position

(aka top 3) in 2020!" We have every intent to WIN

based on the aforementioned goal!

Go My Yammie!
 
If they were planing on having those guys back then we'd have kept Amendola too. Those 3 guys are gone

Right. Some folks around here are excellent at overstating the obvious.

Maintaining roster positions for players like Gore, Wake and Thill is

antithetical to the "mission statement" Grier detailed in his intro GM presser.

So unless he wants to immediately expunge his defined POA -- the first step to

credibility is consistency!

I'd be shocked (like 10-million volts shocked) if the new regime backpedaled on the directive...

No. It's not an organizational conspiracy to deliberately lose games -- it's just the reality

of implementing a strategic POA to build a perennial winner...

I'm like totally sold.

>>> Please stay the course! <<<

NO DEVIATIONS!
 
I'm not giving tannehill the chance to win even a few games for us. I don't want his average *** playing out of his mind and tricking fans into another year. get him out.

I love Gore and Wake. fun guys to follow but they need to go elsewhere. good luck to thwm
 
It is crazy. All three are as good as gone. That is why this team is in the position they are currently in due to perpetually giving bad contracts to washed up veterans or trading for them. Times are changing around here. We are in a complete rebuild. People need to get over players of the past and look forward to the future. It is all about drafting, drafting, and more drafting. That is how you build winning foundation for years to come.

My God, if Tannehill somehow managed to stay with the team, the FH servers are going to melt to the ground. Lol
 
Why did I waste 5 mins of my life reading that crap. What an awful article.
 
I still think we have too many playmakers to tank effectively. Wilson, grant, and Drake can win games by themselves.

You’ve got to be kidding me with this.

In tank mode all three will be gone? Get real. This is so far off base it’s not even funny.

Plus 30 players with contracts that outweigh their production being cut is not anything new for good teams or poor teams. This is the reality of today’s NFL.

Tannehill will be gone for this reason.

Gore and Wake well if they take pay cuts they could stick. But likely they will sign elsewhere for more money.

This is nothing to do with everyone’s favorite buzzword lately which is TANK. Which I don’t believe in the first place.
 
Maybe I'm the only one thinking this, but wouldn't it be better long-term for Miami to keep Tannehill for this season, regain his value, and then trade him? The rumor is that Miami is waiting until 2020 to get their qb of the future. Why not have Tannehill be the qb in 2019 then and maybe trade him for a 3rd/4th round pick after the season. Just a thought. I understand that he most likely won't be kept. I also hate the idea of releasing him for nothing, which is probably what will happen.

How do you expect tannehills value to increase with less talent around him, learning a new system and getting another year older? And if by some miracle he did have an amazing turnaround and won a lot of games we wouldn’t be in a position to draft his replacement
