Dolphins sign James Daniels

Torn pec was in 2020 and he then played 52 of 54 games before the torn Achilles.

Takes 30 seconds to check that but saying he got injured 4 years ago and last year doesn’t sound as “good” as saying he’s been injured 2 years in a row as it doesn’t paint the correct narrative.

When he hasn’t been nominated for a single pro bowl in his NFL career and someone says we are getting an All-Pro, that doesn’t paint the correct narrative either. 😂

Dude is coming off major injury and is being asked to play in a zone scheme, you don’t think there is any risk with this signing considering his former team, which is a pretty well run organization (Steelers) that has $65 mill in cap space, let him walk instead of resigning him?

Are you just looking at a number and using it as a thesis? DK just ate up a whole slew of that and they have a lot of other work to do.

I didn't call him an All-Pro, I was just pointing out that it took 30 seconds to see that his injuries weren't in consecutive seasons and the poster that said it has a penchant for doing things like that especially when complaining about the GM or QB (which is 99% of his posts).

I think it's a risky signing, very risky and it's what Grier does. He sees value in getting good players cheaper due to injury history than they should be then cries about being injured at the end of the season. I'm guessing he's never going to learn and the injuries come in handy when explaining to Ross why the season went down the crapper again.

I saw a few Steelers fans on Reddit saying that they already had a guy to take his place but would have liked to re-sign him at this price.

They have 63 mil and DK’s cap number is 18 in 2025. That leaves them what 45mil , I think they could afford to pay Daniels the 3.4 mil we are paying him for 2025 and still have a boatload left over. Nice try though.

My bad the Steelers have the 63mil in cap room still left after accounting for the 18 mil cap hit to DK. Plenty of coin for a Qb, a 3.4 mil contract for Daniels and way more than we have currently left over for whatever else they may want to acquire.

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.

Betting odds on this guy making it through camp?

You can’t celebrate a nimble behemoth coming off a TORN achilles or you shouldn’t, I should say. But this is Miami, where we’re so thirsty we’ll drink the sand & swear it’s quenched the thirst.

I don’t care if his Madden scores are 99 across the board. You bought a badly crashed Porsche & now have to 🤞 the repairs hold up.
