Despite all the denials here…We are aggressively trying to upgrade our RB room

Denial isn’t a river in Egypt

Report: Dolphins made call to Raiders about trading for RB Josh Jacobs

This is the third veteran the Dolphins have been linked to this offseason.

I don't think anyone denies we are trying to upgrade the room. The question is at what price?

And right now, we seem to be pretty frugal at that position.

When you don't pick elite RBs in the draft - ever - you're gonna need to upgrade the room with trades at a much higher prices.

Aggressively might be overstating.

If we can bring in superior talent at a discount price, sure. That's just common sense.

Is the fact that we contact teams for a chat a sign of desperation? I would say not at all. More due diligence with an eye towards value, IMO.

this is the big question mark, we are def kicking the tires but super low lowball offers won't get it done with a top 3 back so I am a bit confused. If anyone thinks we can get a guy like Cook or JT for 4 mil not gonna happen. Look at what we are spending on our current stable of backs, I think it's like 6 mil for the top 4

One of Griers strengths is that he is constantly hunting for ways to upgrade at reason cost. it doesn’t mean he always pulls the trigger. A good GM is always hunting

I wonder if he is hunting Trey Lance?

Doesn’t make sense to me. The room needs upgrading and yet you wonder why they re-signed everyone so quickly in the Spring.

I don't know but the Dolphins seem to have the leakiest organization in professional sports, or people just make up s*** for fun

I've been wondering the same thing. Coach McD knows this guy better than most, so it'll be interesting if he thinks he can get anything out of LANCE. And, of course, at what price?

The price has to be very very very low.

Well our RB room is blah.Fast but can't stay on the field a full year.
With good reason he is searching

He's a 3rd string QB as of now, his value couldn't be lower. I'm thinking the 49'ers might regret that move up considering they got their starter in the 7th round, what an odd situation there

We were pretty frugal at WR until we got Cheetah. Then we got Cheetah. What you see as a trend stops being a trend really quickly.

 

[circumstances]

Start Chris Brooks and bring on Devon Achane as 3rd down back/change of pace!


That'll teach 'em!!!!!

The latter.
