Akeem Spence To The Fins

[FinPhan54]

Looks like we just traded Detroit a 2019 pick (undisclosed)

I guess we liked him better than the FA DT's out there. Only 26 years old.

You fast.

Familiarity with our DL coach probably helped a bit too, I imagine. Seems like a decent pickup.

Still no word on compensation, but Kris Kocurek knows what he is doing

An article from this morning about how Spence was asked to take a pay cut after his best season as a pro. I am reading through the comments, there is over 1000.

I know nothing. As long as the DL coach is happy, I’m happy.

 

[sunworshipper]

I assume for a conditional pick.

 

[dolfan91]

I believe in Coach K, if he pushed for him, I’m happy. Still only 26 and coming off his best season as a pro, under Kocurek and still has 2 years left on his deal. I’d say it was worth dealing for him.

Armando says its a late round pick -
Spence, 26, has been traded to the Dolphins for a late-round draft pick in 2019, the source said. Another source said the Dolphins will give up a seventh-round pick.

Ok that was fast

 

[circumstances]

Welcome young man!

Well we knew T-Baum was itching to give up a pick after going all draft weekend without a trade.

 

[SCOTTY]

More Lions trash. He should not be trading future picks. Doesn't matter if it's late round. I can't stand Tannen-bum. I would like to go one draft with all our picks.

 

[AL R]

Well we needed another DT, alot of us felt that way, and they went after someone the D coaches have a connection to.

 

[Fintastic2124]

Can’t beat that. Takes some pressure off the DT unit for a bit.
