Pouncey vs Clay vs Odrick?

[So Be]

Pouncey is guaranteed $22M, and we kept him.

Odrick is guaranteed $22.5M, and we paid over twice as much for Suh.

Clay is guaranteed $24.5M, and we have Cameron.

Are you a fan of all 3 decisions by the team?

Yes

I'm pretty indifferent when it comes to Pouncey. I think he's a dick and overrated as a "team player" (I believe he was attempting to show his versatility to up his asking price and it backfired a bit), but in the end, at least it means I won't have to read calls for yet another high draft pick to be used on a center. That's a big plus in my book and a fair trade off. Hopefully he grows up at some point.

As for Odrick and Clay, I'll take Suh over the two of them combined every day of the week without any hesitation, because that's essentially what we did. Not even close. Add in the fact that we landed Cameron and a developing Sims and it becomes an even easier decision. In hindsight, should we have franchise tagged Clay? Maybe, but I can't fault them for the direction they went.

a HUNDRED MILLION times YES...YES...YES...YES...YES...YES

Great moves, all 3. Hickey and/or Tannenbum doing a great job of continuing the excellent work Ireland did in terms of acquiring franchise cornerstones not named Matt Ryan.

You mean "the blue balls QB" ?? You're right.. cuz who in their right mind really wants to pay $105MM for 1 (just barely) postseason win in 7 years. :idk:

Something Dolphins fans should never really make fun of.

 

[FSU Truth]

Crazy to think Clay is getting more guaranteed then Pouncey....

 

[susser2000]

If we didn't make changes that would be the definition of insanity, so yes I am excited about these decisions.

 

[Csonked Out]

That Odrick contract is gross. He will be released within 2 years in Jacksonville and same with Clay in Buffalo. I am happy we didn't overpay to keep them. Suh we overpaid for but he is a force at his position so I'm ok with it

 

[Mudder1310]

The first two, 100%. Cameron v. Clay is up in the air for me. Cameron is better as a whole, but his concussion history troubles me. If the training staff if sold on Cameron then great.

In principle you're right, but would be even more so if the fins roster consisted of two of the top 10 Wideouts, another 1000yd receiver as a second or third option and the GOAT TE.

And a terrible o-line (though not as heavily invested in it), terrible coach, and terrible defense. Wait...

 

[Dolfan2364]

Yes, Suh big money but he will make us much better on defense and Pouncy will keep the O-line from being much worse. IMHO, Clay and Oderick were way overpaid!

 

[So Be]

I liked the Suh move, am 50/;50 on Pouncey because of his contract structure, and will cry a bit over spilt milk in not signing Clay, at a much cheaper rate when we had the chance. Maybe going after Graham had something to do with it. Don't know but, I would much prefer him to Cameron.
