Did Miami really win the Texans trade?

[Tiko377]

What do we have to show for it? Austin Jackson or Noah? Kindley?

Only player that is promising is Waddle but even then you traded a Pro Bowl LT for a WR.

We won just didn't capitalize like we could have. It's like winning an Olympic gold medal but getting disqualified after the fact for a banned substance.

I would like to say that I would have preferred Tunsil instead of the guys we drafted with the picks in that trade but paying a guy the money he is making when said guy is not one of the 3 best tackles in the game would not be a win in my book.

I guess it's like winning the lottery but then blowing the money on crap and being broke again after a couple of years.

 

[Delvin]

No, and worst thing the Dolphins did was give me hope.

 

[fishfanmiami]

Of course we won.

Now it can be argued we did not do well with our winnings (the players we drafted) but that is yet to play out

 

[Jamesw]

No doubt. We won. Tunsil's salary and the fact that he is an above average LT but not top tier settles that debate. But we need to definitely "hit" on more of our OL draft picks.

The Pitt trade was probably worse. We traded minka for Austin Jackson

And there it is..dude is not the all world player he is some people's eyes. He's good. Nothing more...Holland will show what a team player can do...and do it better.

Holland has 2QB hits and a fumble recovery in less than half the snaps of MF. MF gave up a 66 yd score. It'll all even out...but I argue we won by attrition with that trade. But bleh to the homerun it could have been.

That being said...using Jackson to kick me is just...painful.

 

[MrChadRico]

NO to this point we take the L

 

[GhostArmOfMarino]

We won the trade itself. The trade and what you do with the picks are two entirely different propositions.

 

[Birdmond]

I think Waddle and Holland are both future pro bowl players. That alone is a win. I’m not giving up on Iggy. Way too much talent. Could it be our secondary is just that good?

 

[Stoobz]

Won the trade but did in no way or shape capitalize on the profits.

 

[ThePeopleShow13]

Consider the fact that Watson has been sacked almost 100 times in the 2 seasons Tunsil has been there. He now makes roughly $22M per season. The reality is having one good OT doesn’t make your OL that much better when the rest of the guys suck. We’d be paying the guy $22M a year and the rest of our line would still be JAGs. Not to mention he wouldn’t even be Tua’s blindside protector as he wouldn’t play RT.

 

[John813]

Short term? Yes.
Long term? NBD.

I believe Tunsil is getting 22mil because Bill was an idiot and gave him tons of leverage in negotiation talks by giving away the farm for him.

 

[JayFin327]

Even when we win, we lose. So fins-like…
