Dolphins to trade for Trumaine Johnson?

I wouldn't mind this at all. Gives Miami an elite corner to pair with Howard. May release Maxwell after.

Use the first pick on a LB or DE.
 
Just don't see that happening. Not with a loaded corners draft.
 
2018 second round pick? I think I could deal with that. Keep our top picks in the 2017 draft.
 
BTW. I don't believe this, but it's fun to speculate and a guy with 170 followers isn't making something up for glory :lol:
 
Twitter is blowing up about this :lol:
 
No way...if miami makes a corner play this offseason it should be of the nickel variety
 
From a salary perspective this makes no sense.

Dude is on a near 17 million dollar number in 2017 being franchised twice in a row.

Even if you could work out less than the required franchise amount in draft pick compensation, why on earth would johnson backdown from that salary number unless you throw him an extremely meaty extension.

Not to mention Maxwell aint getting cut as he is already guaranteed 5 million so cutting only saves 3.5 million in 2017.

Doesn't add up and I never took the rumor seriously.

Maybe as a FA in 2018 this will make more sense.
 
Maxwells thing is highly money related...he needs more of the single high range safety play type to offset...but the bottom line is money talks and bs walks and the corner market especially boundary starter corner market says keep him for 2017

Also ithink miami feels ok with lippett its #3 boundary option...more likely to look nickel slot and 4th boundary


Greater need...although defending quick in cuts is gonna be important to lippetts development overall considering miami is gonna have trouble getting depth with the lbs
