Merged: The Official Miles Austin Thread

They expect Miles Austin to get a 2nd round tender and I can't see Dolphins ponying up that kind of compensation for him.

Article also talks about Canty and Burnett, two FA linked to Dolphins. No way Canty should get that kind of coin, but I think a good chance Burnett ends up in Miami.

They are smiking crack if they think anyone ponies that up but they do it just so they can control any trade. Personally I dont think they would have traded for Williams if Austin was all that.
 
I remember BP saying we needed more firepower, so I have to think we will find a WR. I don't know if that's through the draft or FA. I guess we shouldn't be shocked by the addition of a WO, but I think we should be shocked if that includes any trade involving DP's. My guess is we either draft one or sign someone like TJ Hosmazode, who's an upgrade but doesn't cost anything other than money to land him.
 
He ain't going anywhere if it cost a 2nd rounder.......
 
why would they do that. Dallas isnt prepared to offer him that kind of money, at least they shouldnt, since he is like their 4th or 5th guy. TO is def gone
 
Dallas is stuck. After spending all of this time grooming him they don't want to just let him go for nothing. If they gave hmi the lower tender there would be zero draft compensation. The second round tender offer is just so that they can establish leverage and try and trade him. I still think the top of John Beck for Miles Austin straight up will be discussed.
 
damn. i hope we can work out some trade involving beck to get him.
 
IMO, Miles is in the same boat as Cam Wake. But he would cost a draft pick and I dont think he's worth a 2nd...

My problem with this trade is Dallas's side. Why not sign a free agent qb like Boller, Frye or Losman as your backup then get a draft pick for Austin if possible. hell even keeping Bolliinger as your backup seems smarter than trading Austin for Beck. I know you like Beck better than Bollinger but Bollinger has shown more at the NFl level than Beck and they are basically the same age. It would seem that Dallas needs a backup and not a backup in training.
 
I just threw-up a little in my mouth thinking about giving a 2nd round pick for Miles Austin. Im with other guy. Why would they have given up 3 draft picks for Roy if Austin was good or even starting material. Why wasnt he playing over Crayton if he is decent.In 2008 Austin had 13rec, 278 yds, and 3 TD. For his career he had 18 rec, 354 yds, and 3 TD. So in the other 2 years he played he had 5 rec, 75 yds, and 0 TD. Here are some other players I would rather have in the draft that are 5th round or later.
#1 Darius Passmore-Marshall--6'3",186 lbs, 4.48/40 ---5th round
#2Mike Wallace-Ole Miss--6'0",289 lbs, 4.35/40--5/6 round
#3Brennon Marion-Tulsa-6'1",185,4.49/40--5/6 round
#4Marko Mitchell-Nevada-6'3",210,4.45/40--5/6 round
#5 Mike Jones -AZ ST.--6'4",203,4.51/40--6th round
#6 Aaron Kelly-Clemson--6'5",190,4.53/40--6th round
#7 D Byrd-LSU--6'2",195,4.45/40--6th round
#8 David Richmond--San Jose St--6'4",203,4.54/40 7th/FA
#9 Jaison Williams-Oregon-6'5",240,4.53/40 7th/FA
#10 Greg Carr-FSU-6'6,211,4.63/40 --7th/FA

Just saying I would rather have any of these guys for a 5th round pick or later rather than trading a 2nd for an unproven 4th stringer from Dallas. Id say there will be a few good WR fall to UDFA this year like Bess. IF not I would rather us try to sign , Nate Washington, Devrey Henderson, Mike Clayton.

Oh yeah and the Rams are trying to trade Torry Holt who we could get for a 2nd maybe even a 3rd. And maybe Chad Johnson can be had for a 2nd. Its not logical no matter how much BP or anyone else likes Austin

Well I doubt Dallas thinks they get a 2nd. It just makes sure that a team will have to make a deal to aquire him. They would like to get any kind of compensation.
