8. Chase Edmonds, Dolphins- 2 Years, $12.1M, $6.1M guaranteed

How bad was this addition? The Dolphins traded him away as part of the Bradley Chubb deal after paying out nearly $5 million of his $6.1 million salary. Prior to the trade Edmonds was averaging a paltry 2.9 yards per attempt and had just 120 yards for the season. The team just misjudged everything about this one from the contract total down to the fit with the offense.

3. Cedrick Wilson, Dolphins- 3 Years, $22M, $12.8M guaranteed

Wilson had the few breakout games in the second half of last season which caused the Dolphins to aggressively go after Wilson in free agency. Unfortunately for Miami, Wilson has more or less gone back to matching his earlier years in Dallas with just 6 receptions for 63 yards on the year. He is only logging 20% playing time in Miami and it is looking less and less likely that this changes. Miamiā€™s passing attack has been on fire with the addition of Tyreek Hill so they arenā€™t sweating this miss too much, but it was a clear miss. $5 million of Wilsonā€™s salary in 2023 is guaranteed which probably makes him a strong ā€œpay and tradeā€ candidate next offseason.
 
To be fair, they graded the signings as a D & C+ when they happened. Edmonds is probably a decent player who hasn't been able to adjust to a new system & Wilson has been injured and of course Hill was signed after Wilson, maybe we were going with Waddle, Wilson & Sherfield.

So what, not our money. Lets keep churning until we get the right players. Edmonds was not good at all, and I thought he was decent at Ari. CW is not that good suprisingly.

Just curious, when we "so what it's not our money." are we taking into account that it does impact the team's ability to sign players this year and next year? It's not so much about the money to me as it is about how that money impacts the salary cap.
 
I canā€™t fault them for the Wilson signing. He came on and made a name for himself with Dallasā€™ depleted WR group last season. At the time of the signing we only had Waddle and Parker under contract and obviously they had other intentions with Parker. He was widely considered a guy trending up who only needed a more consistent opportunity.

There werenā€™t many better options out there at the time, and we didnā€™t know that Tyreek Hill, AJ Brown, and Hollywood Brown were all about to be made available. Ironically, the big name trade target at WR we all speculated on was the one who wasnā€™t really available (Deebo).
 
What it means by itsourmoney is keep trying to sign players till we hit on the right one. Without injuries this is as close as a superbowl team weve had in a while.we gone hit on some miss on some.

Salary cap is fictitious. When has a team ever been over the cap. Can always force money into signing bonuses, extend players etc.
 
The Wilson signing may still pay off... he's on a relatively cheap three year deal, and hasn't really played badly... he's just missed time due to one minor injury and now isn't getting an opportunity due to our obtaining Hill.

Heck... he's looked GOOD on Punt Returns... the first guy to look good this year.
