The NFLPA's membership is taking a dump on the Dolphins.
If the Patriots had asked Van Noy to take a pay cut, he would have. I guarantee the Dolphins asked him to take a pay cut and he told them to GFTSelves. So, we cut him and the Patriots get him for half-price.

Ted Karras couldve easily got 6 a year. Pats call and he takes 4.

What's going on here?

There seems to be Zero faith or belief in Tua, league-wide and even on the Dolphins roster.

So, outside of who we can draft, this season is trash. The guys we draft will have their rookie growing pains.

So, the only good thing that can come of 2021 is that Tua shows he's for real.

If that happens, the sky is the limit for 2022.
If that doesnt happen, then another 3 years go down the drain.

Gotta double back to this: Ted Karras taking less than market value to go back to Belichick is a VERY BAD SIGN.

Ok, good story
 
So because Van Noy, Karras and the entire league supposedly have no faith in Tua those two decided to take less money to go play for the Patriots with a washed up Cam Newton as their starting QB. Since a declining LB and average C are gone, the Dolphins 2021 season is doomed to be "trash". Yeah all that makes perfect sense. I mean we know for a fact that Ted Karras took less to go back to the Patriots and not because teams watched him play in 2020 and didn't believe he was worth offering more money.

Exactly how is the Dolphins cutting Van Noy and not signing Karras a reflection on Tua? Van Noy was cut because he wasn’t good enough in the Miami defense and Karras obviously couldn’t get any team to offer him anymore than the one year $4 million contract he got with the Patriots.

Van Noy stated he was, “shocked and disappointed “ when he was informed he was being cut. The Dolphins couldn’t trade him because no other team in the league thought he was worth trading for. So him ending up signing back with the Patriots for far less than he would have been paid in Miami if they hadn’t cut him certainly doesn’t appear to have anything to do with Tua. The fact is Van Noy was overpaid when the Dolphins signed him last year in free agency and they cut him because he wasn’t worth the money he would have been paid if he was on the team next year.

Karras is an average to below average center in the NFL who has been a free agent for two years in a row and yet no team in the NFL is willing to offer him a long term contract. He isn’t worth more than the $4 million a year he signed to return to the Patriots and that is why he went back to New England.
Obviously you are the only only person in the world who thinks he is worth $6 million a year. Because no one in the NFL thinks he is worth that much money or else he would have happily signed for $6 million instead of the $4 million he signed for. The market value for Karras is exactly what he is being paid in NE because no other team wanted him for more money than the $4 million the Patriots offered him.

The coaches and the players now on the Dolphins have faith in Tua and that is all that matters. The fact you seem to think that two players the Dolphins obviously didn’t want to spend a lot of money on returned to the Patriots is somehow related to the entire league not having faith in Tua seems to be your own issue and has nothing to do with Tua.

Is there hyperbole in the OP?

Certainly.

Is it justified?

Feels like it.

Funny how you responded favorably to you own thread. Because otherwise I don’t think there are going to be many posters who agree with you. So I guess you wanted at least one response in here that supports your absolutely wrong conclusions.

Hey man. I talk to myself sometimes, too. But I usually sound crazy when I do.
 
Maybe we didn't sign Karras because we didn't offer him even close to 4 million. He was garbage and I hope he starts for NE, Davis will eat him alive 2 times next season.

Van Noy is getting slower... and he was slow to begin with.

That's along the lines of Derek Carr's line not blocking for him because of his political views..
I swear some of you are just too much 🤦‍♂️
 
Stupid ridiculous take and I'm trying to be polite.

Another thread started that should have gone through a review board first.
