Here is a thought, or more of a wish.

Offer Philly an even trade Wallace for Jackson, and package it with a trade for Jordan for their 1st round pick.
That would give us the firepower to move up and take Evans or Watkins.
 
I will do that deal anyday !

If Jordan is traded, he will cost us a $12M cap hit this year. Who, in their right mind, wold do that?
 
Why do SO many want to dump Dion?? he's just one season in, and a lot of professionals believe he has the potential to be a great player for years to come. I don't understand it.
 
If they wanted Wallace for Jackson straight up I would do that in a heartbeat... Jackson clearly the better player it's not even close..

If this is a serious question then I'll tell you why. Opportunity cost. The first and second round draft picks used to get Jordan represent two potential starters on a team that was one win away from making the playoffs. Given what he cost to obtain many fans expected that he would not only be a starter but also a dominant player from day one.

Now I don't think the Dolphins are in any position to trade him, but he MUST win a starting spot and dominate next year or he will be nothing more than another Jeff Ireland bust. The NFL is a "what have you done for me lately" league and the word "potential" is just about the worse thing you can say about a player: it means the player hasn't done anything noteworthy yet.
 
U have any idea of the dead cap space we would have? Both Wallace and Jordan are going nowhere this year or our cap space would be gone

Take a look at how many times Wallace was wide open deep last year and Tannehill missed him because of underthrows and bad pass pro. Wallace isn't perfect, but he did his job- he got open deep, plenty.
 
Who in the right mind would trade a athletic freak like Dion Jordan? He will Out rush OV and Wake in his third year. he can cover any TE in the league and he will become a great leader on our Defense.. Just play the guy Coyle!
