this team is at a crossroads. There are too many bad contracts with the same players as last year. same players will have same results. Miami should indeed be sellers and position themselves for being more competitive in 2019.
Confidants of Ross" informed that Stephen Ross "was ready to move on" from DT Ndamukong Suh.

So are you saying IF we cut him then we save 17 mil and lose 9 mil (net 8 mil) and next year net 2 mil?...
So we lose a player (another hole) and have 8 mil to replace him?....Would you do that? If so ...
What would you do with an extra 8 mil and the hole it created?
Just curious.....I don't think I would do that...looks like we just need to continue building through the draft with an eye on the future...we made our bed and have to lie in it....IMO

The way I’m understanding it (forgive me if I’m wrong, contracts aren’t my strong suit) we would cut $26 million, have $9 million in dead money, leaving $17 million in net gain
Exactly.
If the team is a mediocre mess this year, I don't think you blame Gase. To me, it seems like Ross has gradually been pivoting towards Gase more and more, and more and more away from T-Bag, so we've got that going for us. In fact, I think he overruled T-Bag originally and made Gase "his guy", so he's got that going for him.
Should the team continue down this stretch it's on, I think T-Bag gets the axe, and I think Ross gives Gase either more personnel power, or brings in a guy that wants to work with Gase, like Brian Xanders, for example. Something to shake up the proverbial bottle of salad dressing a bit.
Gase is the guy least on the "hot seat", I see T-Bag getting dumped before I see Gase.

I don't know if we are at a "crossroads" but I do agree we will be shedding these terrible contracts after 2018. That is why i'd like to draft a DE, LB, and OL early in this draft to have in place to take over for next yrs roster dumps like Alonso, Branch, etc

I think the entire organization is on notice for 2018. Miss the playoffs again and I could see Ross pulling the plug. I was just looking over some of our biggest contracts on our 2019 cap:

2019 projects to be a good year to blow it up. So, I'm curious just how much spending Ross will approve for this year.
If Jones and Stills continue to play well, I have no issue paying them those 2019 numbers. Tannehill needs to elevate to late 2016 status or I pull the plug on him and everyone else on that list.

Here are my thoughts. Hang onto players who are durable and productive. Suh and Landry are both. Miami needs more players like that, not fewer.
Can anyone seriously believe that a discreet billionaire like Mr Ross really rushed to give the scoop on ditching one of his top players, Ndamukong Suh to Jason LaCanfora? Mr Ross has adopted a policy of consciously not interfering in football matters, leaving it to the people he employs.
This is just another bogus article by JLC. How does this idiot still have a job?
