Getting strong vibes from #NFL folks I speak with that @MiamiDolphins will ultimately rescind transition tag on @oliviervernon50. We'll see

 

[Sean]

Yes they will.

 

[MARINO1384]

No point in wasting cap, no chance he signs back anyways, why tie up the cap

 

[TheJetsBlow]

No question they will.

 

[Wishfishin]

Is there a deadline to rescind the tag?

 

[dlockz]

Seems like a team that is really trying to go all in for one year, none of these deals have any good long term implications

 

[Travis34]

Seems likely. I bet we keep Williams / Wake, and Mario goes to Vernon's side. Maybe sign / draft someone more of a run stopper.

If we can come out of FA with Miller resigning (seems unlikely), a starting guard, an average safety, and maybe a cheaper cb (patrick robinson?), I will be content. maybe Soliai too

I think maybe we are just trying to "coast" along for a couple years. Build in the draft for the future. Someone else mentioned it and it made sense, there are going to be huge contracts going down tomorrow, so maybe for once we are trying to be frugal a bit

Good. Not worth 12 nevermind the 15 odd the jags will give him

When is Mitchell getting cut

what are you talking about?! I mean, imagine if Mr Alonso plays great in a contract year and then we sign him long term and have to pay a huge gtd chunk to a player likely to get injured aga....oh wait...

yea no definitely no long-term "vision" here...as a matter of fact it seems like the one young miami guy is going to run away over an extra $1m per year and meanwhile we're taking on a byron maxwell rental at $9m....shheesh

Alonso is an RFA after the season and Maxwell likely restructured for less but to stick around after the season.

Prob not anytime soon, his cap hit is not significant at this time - if they do I don't think it will happen till things settle downs some..

Get the comp pick.

Get the comp pick.

Said that in another thread - you don't pay the 12M or the 15M and get the comp. pick ..

I feel like we could say this *every year* and it'd be true.
