We already have a thread for this.

This is a very bizarre story. Supposedly Ross doesn't know squat about football and how much money do you really save by trading down in the 1st round? Seems like chump change to him. His interference at this point, of all times, is very odd to me.
Maybe Minkah just wasn't splashy enough for him?

I think this smells like Lamar Jackson to me. I think Ross wanted to trade back and take Jackson. There is your flashy. It had nothing to do with money.
Well since Ross doesn’t know about football scouting and was smiling ear to ear when we spent $100M on a DT, I would say this is good news.
He wanted splash players, as said above. He bought in on Miami’s QB smokescreens, since he was probably in NYC the whole time, lol.

That sounds about right. Collect a few picks while you're at it, too...can address the FS position with Reid or someone like it further down too.
Personally I was disappointed that we passed on James and Goedert so I don't blame him for not being 100% sold. Though its a good thing in the end he didn't overrule the football people like some owners would. Whilst they have shown incompetence on many occasions, while they are in the role they shouldn't be overruled.
On the other hand... if this shows he is starting to lose faith in the front office and we could get a new one? well... the future may be bright afterall

let's just say i'm glad he's not making any more decisions relating to the team than absolutely neccessary.
his best attributes are his wealth, seemingly genuine desire for franchise success, and staying out of the god damn way

Losing faith in the FO because he wanted a qb? No.
I think once Ross sees Minkah on the field and Mike G he’s going to be happy. They were the 2 best at their positions in the entire draft.
Miami hit a homerun.
Im extremely interested to see how Gaine does with the Texans. He should have been given the Dolphins job years ago instead of Hickey. Tough first year with no first or second round pick though
