Dolphins sign James Daniels

[Miami4471]

I'd like Armstead to come back for 1 more year and split snaps with Paul and help train the OL as a player coach type of position.
If we could sign Meyer to play C would Brewer be able to play guard left or right. With AJ at RT and Daniels already signed to start we would have a good basis. Then draft a guard to bed in slowly without the added pressure to start straight away. Any thoughts guys?

I think it will happen

So you are saying the Steelers wanted him but he would much rather play for a team that has won 1 playoff game in the last 25 years.

It's not unreasonable that he saw it as a better opportunity in Miami for this point of his career.

Andrew Meyer is already on the roster.

Did Banks opt to get paid in British pounds?

Right now, I'd use a very erasable pencil and GUESS that this is the plan:

LT: Paul, Smith, Hayes
LG: Daniels, Hines, Hayes
C: Brewer, Meyer
RG: (Banks, Campbell or Membou), Borom
RT: Jackson, Borom

Hines, Hayes, and Meyer are all young, no-resume players, so expecting more than one of them to stick is optimistic at best. On the plus side, if we do draft a Guard (and I think we will), whoever sticks will be our 9th or 10th man.

Hines as in Chasen Hines? He isn't on the roster. However, Braeden Daniels is, and is the forgotten man. Being a very late waiver claim who didn't see the field, he is easy to forget but his skill set fits the scheme better than Chasen Hines, who is a lesser version of Lester Cotton.

Yeah I meant Josh Myers lol

These Achilles injuries are tricky, they usually take two years to get past your original strength threshold

I doubt they'd move Brewer back to guard to accommodate a free-agent center. If I was betting on the next IOL move in free agency, I'd say we sign Will Hernandez.

I'd just like a C who can snap a ball to Tua's hands to be honest

Did it hurt?

TA is a possibility, but no way does he come back and play at minimum salary, so we would have to restructure that deal again.

Brewer is not good at all at guard. Just to light at the NFL level for guard.

 

[miamiron]

Damn, Hunt was a bargain

 

[BobDole]

Good player coming off a nasty injury. Will take a while to round back into form. Hopefully he's at 100% by playoff time ... even at 50% he's better than what we had. Can't complain too much about this one.

You might want to look at the Steelers numbers before making a statement you know nothing about. They still have 63 mil in cap available after the DK signing. Plenty for a Qb, Daniels @3.4 mil and whatever else they might need this season but they chose not to resign Daniels.

BTW, both the Steelers young guards McCormick (2024 a 4th rounder), who plays RG and Anderson (2023 7th rounder), who plays LG did not grade out to well last season. They both were in the mid to high 50s. So Daniels, who played 4 games last year at a very high level before tearing his Achilles, was allowed to walk. Food for thought.

Food for thought....Steelers LG is Isaac Seumalo, former 3rd round pick, on a similar deal as James Daniels, and pff grades upper 60's in 826 snaps....nice try with Anderson lol.
