Jarvis Landry has virtually all the negotiating power right now, even with the Dolphins putting a franchise tag on him. He can go negotiate a deal with a new team, which is a necessary first step if the Dolphins want to trade him. He can agree to a new deal with the Dolphins, though you assume that ship has sailed since the tag was put on him.

The Dolphins only real issue at this point is whether to rescind the franchise tag before the March 6 deadline, as Charlotte did with Josh Norman a couple of years ago. He became a free agent and went to Washington.

We’re in limbo land of waiting to see what Landry and the Dolphins do. It’s hard to see the Dolphins being happy to pay $16 million for Landry. They tried to trade him last spring to prevent this unfolding scenario and haven’t negotiated with his agent the past couple of months. At various points, team officials have said they were going to sign Landry – and that he was too expensive. So who knows?

If they want to trade Landry, a couple of things have to happen. Landry has to negotiate a deal with a new team. That leads to the issue of who would pay him in the annual $14 million range and be willing to trade a draft pick to the Dolphins.

The teams with the most salary-cap money to spend, via overthecap.com, are Cleveland ($110 million), Indianapolis ($77 million), San Francisco ($74 million), the New York Jets ($73 million) and Tampa Bay ($71 million).

All of them other than Tampa Bay need receivers.

See who draft analysts have the Miami Dolphins taking with the 11th pick in the 2018 NFL Draft on April 26.

Cleveland has a lot of picks to trade – but would Landry want to go to a team with no quarterback (as of now)? San Francisco and Indianapolis look to be teams he’d want to play on, considering Jimmy Garropolo and Andrew Luck are the quarterbacks, respectively. Do they want to spend that much on Landry (and a draft pick?)

Would those teams simply wait to see if the Dolphins drop the franchise tag and see if Landry comes free?

In 2009, New England franchise-tagged and traded Matt Cassell to Kansas City for the No. 34 pick. Kansas City traded defensive end Jared Allen to Minnesota for the 15th pick and two third-rounders in 2008.

This is a quandary for the Dolphins. It’s hard to see the Dolphins paying $16 million for Landry. It’s hard to see them losing one of their most talented players. It’ll be interesting to see what happens.

Cleveland would be the ideal target since they have a lot of picks and cap space.

If we couldn't nab a 2nd round pick from them, I'd settle for a 3rd and 4th this year, and a 3rd next year.
 
Correct me here, but I thought there was a rule about tagging a player for the express purpose of trading him, doesn't the NFL frown on something like this? Just asking guys.

Maybe based on potential but the results have not translated to the field or the win column.

Most of Miami's downfall have been players acquired outside of the draft.

In certain cases, yes, but since it's the first time Miami has tagged Landry i doubt there would be much of a case.

Miami could also argue that it wanted to tag Jarvis early so they could show him in good faith that they wanted him here, even if they'd be OK with trading him.

Maybe I expect too much but to me a good draft is when you draft a couple marquee guys. Pro Bowl/All Pro type talent. Like in the 90's when we drafted our core defense in 3-4 years with Madison, Surtain, Thomas, Taylor, Bowens. All pro bow type players that were top 5-10 at some point in their time here. Maybe Howard and a couple of other will turn into that but until that happens I wouldn't rate this a success if all they turn out to be is decent. Unless you have Bill Belichick coaching you, you need more than decent players, you need a mix of dominant all pro's sprinkled in. imho.

Thanks Mud......
 
The FO(Who I'm not a big fan of) have drafted better the last couple of years as far as getting solid players. In order to call those draft great, we would need some of those players to become great. At least two or 3 of them. So far all we've gotten has been solid to good. Time will tell as it is too early to tell at this point. To be fair it takes about 3 years.

Ozzy rules!!
