Active Roster
if he stays i very much doubt he will see significant playing time, after they way he played last season. so if you can trade him and in some fashion minimize the capt hit by all means
This is not directed at anyone here, more Armando than anyone, but WHY do people keep missing the point about these salary issues?
Seriously. It's frustrating.
Being forced to keep Reshad Jones has nothing to do with "dead money". It doesn't. Period. Exclamation point.
It has everything to do with the fact Miami would be forced to issue about $11 million worth of game checks to Reshad Jones in 2019, cash money coming out of Steven Ross's accounts and going into Reshad Jones's accounts, while he's playing for ANOTHER team.
Dead money is about what has ALREADY been paid, but not yet officially "expensed".
This is about guaranteed salary, which is money that HAS NOT been paid, but will come due in the future. Miami doesn't want to pay the guy to NOT play football for them...unless they're getting a draft pick in return.
If they can find a trade, I suspect they will execute it. Keep an eye on Jacksonville.
Jones is basically untouchable right now with that contract
So was Tannehill. It all depends on how much more they are willing to chop off in terms of big contracts vs. available replacements that are as good or better.
I sit corrected.This is incorrect.
As I and CK have both pointed out, there was no guaranteed money left on Suh or Tannehill. That is why they were able to be purged.
Right now you have a full $13 million dollar base on Reshad that has to STILL get paid, whether he is on the team or not. On top of that in 2020 there is another $2.1 million in salary already guaranteed.
Never mind the $12 million in dead cap from bonuses. If that was the only issue he would of likely . . . no . . . would of been cut already.
Tannehill was very willing to facilitate a trade by taking less money . . . but he had no bargaining chip, he had no guaranteed money as leverage . . . Reshad does.
If Tannehill was guaranteed the $19 million dollar base he had coming in 2019, he would still be a Miami Dolphin, unless Miami ate a good 12 million of it.
Tied for team lead in ints???https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2019/03/29/dolphins-purge-may-not-be-over/
would I be surprised.... no, but I don't think jones is going anywhere. next year is a lot more likely.
Armando has been off lately. he is on the tank train, and has let it blind his judgement on a lot of things imo
If the money is guaranteed - money is already technically outside of his account! :)
Already in a trust!
Only to our Franchise QBif cut post June the dead money is still over 17mill
In 2020 thought he can be cut and the dead money would "only" be just over 4mill
in 2021 we'd take another hit of just over 4mill
If we manage the cap correctly from now on then we can afford the 4mill in 2020 & 2021
But like it's been said already, we're stuck with him for now. I could see a trade right before the regular season or even after but we'd still get a hit(which we can afford) but getting a pick would be nice. I hope this FO never gives out a contract this bad again.
I'm ok with a big contract to a young great QB but what they did with several older players was horrible.Only to our Franchise QB
Actually they've done it once with Tannehill. They're not paying for any of Quinn's salary unless you're talking about the 1.1mill they paid him for the roster bonus.Dead Money? IRRELEVANT
Post June 1st? IRRELEVANT
If you are exploring these lines of analysis with respect to Reshad Jones, you're already off-path.
He's un-cuttable. That is unless you think he has SO LITTLE value that you'd literally rather give his roster spot to a 53rd player who won't dress on Sunday.
However he may well be traded. We'll see. I see healthy skepticism about it due to his contract. Miami could facilitate that though, as they've done twice now.
