Dolphins trade for Aqib Talib

[thenewloon]

I mean...not like we don't have cap space...I want to know what the pick is though

 

[Locke]

LOL

What is even happening? There doesn’t seem to be a cohesive plan. These moves seem to be happening independent of each other. It makes no sense.

 

[Daytona Fin]

How old is he, 55?

 

[hoops]

They need to re-sign Ramsey.

Ok but why would we at 0-7 want to help them out with that?

 

[The Ghost]

He’s 33. We just took on salary for nothing and gave up a pick in the process.

We bought a 5th round pick this year and likely will send back a future 7th.

Makes sense.

The bonuses cap of flexibility.

Rams getting out of money probably to acquire/sign something else

I think it is related to being able to resign Ramsey.

 

[BennySwella]

X. Howard must be done for the season.
This team befuddles me. Tank be damned. We are never gonna be good with Chris Grier as GM.

 

[hoops]

I guess this means whenever x comes back Eric rowe becomes a full time starting safety

We bought a 5th round pick this year and likely will send back a future 7th.

Makes sense.

The bonus's cap flexibility.

Only way it makes sense is if the are sending a lower pick. Otherwise its a very dumb trade.

 

[LordTua]

How does this not make sense? We get a big salary and a 5th and give up a 6th or 7th rounder.

Also, I wouldn't be surprised if we only took this on after he agreed to restructure his contract.

Edit: Didn't realize this was his last year on that deal, makes this even sweeter!

 

[HarryBagpipe]

Is it like a mini osweiler deal? We take the hit for one year and they give us a pick for our trouble?

 

[13marino13]

X is gonna get put on IR, just a hunch

 

[tommyp]

so we get Talib and a better pick?????? i'm ok with that

 

[The Ghost]

It's called getting value and it's part of a brilliant bigger picture plan. Using our cap flexibility as a weapon.
