Dolphins trade for Aqib Talib

[Rowdy1972]

We got a 5th rounder too. Probably took the salary off the rams. basically buying a pick. We are sending a pick back. Probably a 2024 9th rounder.

 

[RobertHorry]

Sounds like we wanted to buy a pick and Rams sold us one. Probably sending. a 6th or 7th back

 

[SkapePhin]

How does this not make sense? We get a big salary and a fifth 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.

They didn't say what pick the Dolphins sent back to the Rams. If it is anything higher than a 6th rouder it doesn't make sense.

 

[hoops]

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

Makes sense.

The bonuses cap flexibility.

I’m glad I’m not the owner. Taking on salary for 5th rounders lol

Finally, someone get's it.

This type of thing happens in the NBA all the time. We just payed some money to turn our 6th or 7th into a 5th ...ANY team in the league would pay money to get a higher draft pick on draft night.

 

[hoops]

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

Brilliants a little rich lol

 

[bane]

makes perfect sense actually. Howard probably shut down for year. We take the salary because we can. Get a 5th pick too. Probably send back a 6th. need a corner to finish season

 

[WCUPUNK]

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

lose $8m in cap space for a 5th rounder though? this is something bigger. i think X's knee is worse than we have heard.

 

[Bob512]

yes it does. Salary dump to sign Ramsey.

I would agree....we likely come out ahead on the picks and have a body to play in the secondary.

 

[Andyman]

Perhaps they will flip him to another team.

 

[Turin]

Isn t he on ir?

 

[hoops]

Cap space we could have rolled over I imagine.

This isn’t as warm and fuzzy as it’s being made out to be.

Not at $8 mil it’s not.

 

[NJ Dolphan]

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

No, we get a fifth rounder for taking on his salary. This is found money.

 

[A1.]

It’s not that much money for not that good of a draft pick.
Carry on

 

[Highzenga]

Will Talib even play this year?
