This is what I have been thinking all along. It's not about the money anymore. Landry doesn't want to be here or Gase doesn't want him here, could be both. I just believe there is a broken marriage that can't be fixed.
Miami Dolphins will regret trusting wallet, not eyes, on Jarvis Landry

10 million a year.
Not more than the tag, which is like 15.8 million.
Use it as leverage to work out something in the 14 range with some “we love you juice” guaranteed money.
Done deal. Helps us lower that cap number and Juice gets paid.

Really? How do you compare Vernons production at his position relative to Landry at his position? Moreover, exactly how much more productive is Landry? What assessment tool are you using for determining that?
O.V. had more sacks in most of his time here than Landry has TDs. What do you think of that?
Hell, O.V. may have had more tackles than Landry has 1st downs.
12-13 million tops. That's what he will get in the end.

13 million was more than fair. He and his agent are being unrealistic.
While there are teams interested in trading for Landry, they are certainly not banging on the door to get him. If he was under contract for 10-11 million, and the phins were committed to moving on, there would have been a trade agreement already in place.
His demands are the reason why his status remains in limbo

$10M-$13M, imo is absolutely the right range for Landry. Personally, I wouldn't pay him a dime over $12M. Anything beyond $13M is nonsense.
I would pay him 12-13yr and fully guarntee his first year just to have him stay.

5 star post of the day! I couldn't agree more! When you hit on the draft and produce an A+ pick like we did with Landry....you cannot, absolutely cannot, as a team let that kind of talent walk just as he is entering the prime of his career. I don't care about any of his metrics, 40 times, none of that crap....Watch that kid on the field and do what he does for this team and tell me he isn't worth the money! We need more players like Landry not less. 100% max effort every play. A lot of you like to say well, he can't do this or he can't do that or make excuses for his numbers...well, that's crap and he did it with Jay F'in Cutler and Matt Moore! Not to mention he does a lot of things other receivers do not do. Have you seen a more physical and intense WR in the league? If so, not too damn many. Yea, his emotions get the best of him at times, but I take that all day, everyday! I want players who play with that kind of intensity and emotion and look like they love the game and will put everything they have into it. The problem shouldn't be paying Jarvis Landry...the problem is the big contracts this team has given to mediocre FA talent we have signed.

I'm not mad the Dolphins won't budge off of $13m they offered to pay Landry. It's a more than fair number, other teams have reportedly valued him in the $10m range.
I'm more upset that we even allow these situations to get to this point. The resentment, the inability to foresee a need to offer an extension in advance. We could have signed him for the $13m per year we are offering him now, and that's where the issue lies.

I've being agreeing with you more and more as of late.

Its of course subjective to some degree, but comparing TDs and sacks is obviously ridiculous. I think a fair method is to compare their stats to other players of the same position...Landrys stats are far better relative to other WRs in the league than OVs were compared to other DEs by just about every measure possible.
Landry could be kept had they not signed Cutler to his 1 year waste of time. Branch and Alonso also.
It’d be nice if they could trade Branch.
