MERGD: Zach Miller to Seattle

[Nublar7]

Did you see the contract he got? No wonder the Dolphins didn't sign him.

No way we could have afforded Miller with what Seattle offered him unless we cut some good players.

As nice as it would have been to get Miller, we still have holes that need filling.

Miller is a great pass catching TE and average run blocker at best. Why pay him $7 million year for 65 touches?

 

[Buddy]

OK, I concede that we had no businesssigning Miller at $34 million over 5 years. He's good but not that good.

Does Miami really need a $7 million per season tight end?

 

[hoops]

i have no idea what you guys are talkin about...there's nothing wrong with that contract $17 mil guaranteed on a 5 year deal is pretty much 3 years pay and you can get out...if he plays 3 years your ok pretty much...he's a 4 year player right now no reason to think you won't get your moneys worth

miami could have made this deal easy...they opted not to get involved on a good young football player

Plus he had 60 catches as the Raiders top receiver. Here he would be a 3rd or 4th option and maybe get 50 reception compared to Fasano who had 40. Now is $7 million per year worth 10 more receptions?

****in team sucks.

the raiders are strange...decide to bring back kamerion wimbley for some $48 mil deal instead of zach miller...anyone know the terms with seattle??? if its 4 mil per year i'm barbara walters

Miller got paid! Heard the deal was just above the franchise number for 5 years! 5 years/$34 million...a lot of "straight cash" for a TE.
