Miami Dolphins, Kiko Alonso to work on extension

why are we extending a guy when we have his rights for max low $3 million in 2017?

what the heck
 
I'd rather wait until next year and see if he can actually stay healthy before committing to a long term deal. We have his rights now so why bother? Take care of Jones, Landry, Stills, and Branch now.

“I think Kiko’s flexibility is the best thing about him,” Grier said. “He can play mike (middle), sam (strong), will (weakside), he can play all of those. So for us, he allows us to just pick the best players. So if he ends up at middle linebacker again next year, he’ll be surrounded by good players on the outside. But if he moves to will, which is what he played in Buffalo, either one. For us it’s really not an issue.”

translation- our problem isn't kiko its finding things to pair with him

You're right, given his injury issues this is too early to be looking to lock him up long term ... And he won't even cost $3 million this year, more like $1.8M with the low tender

what tender is that? 3rd round or something?
 
I'd do it now before his price goes up even if it doesn't seem smart. I personally love Kiko. I think he's extremely valuable.
Imagine last year without him lol Worse than it already was. He does have special athleticism that won us the Chargers (GW Int) and 49ers (GW stop)

The guy did enough for me to want him to stay a Miami Dolphin for awhile. I think the deal will be team friendly and cheaper than we believe.
He's better than we all believe. Give him one more backer or a "real" Nose tackle and let him make plays.
PHINS UP!!!!

You got that right!!! He needs help. It's far from Kikos fault. He was a bright spot
 
If we wait until next year then we have to compete with 31 other teams for his services. Or we resign him this year to hopefully a team friendly deal.

According to some...well really just one poster. Kiko is the worst LB ever!

If he's in their plans going forward, at least they're learning from past **** ups and locking him down before he hits FA. That always backfires. He's versatile and has a knack for making plays so I'm okay with this. He'll be much less exposed vs the run with better players around him. Wish there was more thump to him though. He'll always be a go around and not through type of player. But beggars can't be choosers ... and we are destitute at the position.

Might as well do Landry and Jones while they're at it ... the cap situation is very workable. Sims too but don't go nuts. Stills is as good as gone IMO. Sucks.
