Fins trade TE Shaheen. Psyche, he's back...

[Fred Bear]

Maybe recoup the 3rd rounder by letting Gesicki walk next offseason.

Possible if Gesicki doesn't work out

 

[circumstances]

HE'S NO TANNER CONNER

 

[Fred Bear]

We do need a tight end that can score touchdowns

 

[crashfan]

We are going to own the 6th round!

 

[Danny]

Miami should receive a pick around #185 and give up a pick after 240. I'll take that

yeah after a while I realized that the 6th pick could be much higher than the 7th

 

[Fred Bear]

With our new offensive minds we should get more out of Gesicki he's had 13 tds in 3 years

 

[Trifecta Nation]

So we move up a round and some figuring they're gonna suck this year but give up a player. More for the fact we have a crowded TE room and some cap savings, I suppose.

$1.8m saved and 333,000 dead cap hit

That is shocking, as Carter has done nearly nothing on offense (not that Long has been a gamebreaker either, but he was just a rookie last year).

Neither has Shaheen, but Carter is a solid special teams player. All things being equal, the Special Teams play was the difference...

 

[gofins60]

Shaheen was nothing special; I'm glad that they didn't trade Smythe. Maybe now we'll see how good Hunter Long is.

 

[Pacer]

About $22m in cap now.

$22mm now but still over for next year. With a lot of guys on one year deals and even more expiring in the 2 years after that carrying over a bunch is not egregious.

 

[Danny]

We are going to own the 6th round!

we only have one pick in the 6th round at this time

 

[Dolph N.Fan]

My Shaheen Jersey is still in transit

 

[Jssanto]

Just beat me to it!

Not a bad move for us, as I thought Shaheen would be a cut later this summer.

It's a good deal for Houston too, as they get a decent pass catching TE for a low round draft pick. He's just a bit of a knucklehead.

I thought his strength was blocking? Wrong?
If blocking was his strength I was taking it as a positive that the FO felt the line did not need a blocking TE.
When I saw the “receiving draft picks” I was hoping we were stockpiling picks as a hedge for needing to pic a QB next year. But a 6th likely wont do much.
We sure need Tua to perform.

 

[Jssanto]

Only sad part is it probably kills any gesicki trade

I think this speaks to hunter longs development personally. I hope it does

I have been wondering what the meaning behind the trade is. Maybe this is it.

True, but that is based on this year's cap #. Next year is going to be higher, possibly substantially so. The projections I have seen are in the range of +20-23 mil.
