Its that simple.
I was not planning on turning Surtain into Walter Jones and franchising him every year. You simply "franchise" him so he cant hit the open FA market. Try to get a late round pick from a team so that they do not have to go into a "bidding war" against another team. Or we could let him leave as a free agent and recieve a compensatory pick. Depending upon what we do in FA, that Compensatory pick could end up as high as a 3rd round pick.(ala KC)
Da 'Fins said:And then we need to find and sign a #3 WR. I doubt Saban's just going to dump Thompson - he probably would have already.
And then Surtain decides to sign the tender immediately. It gives him $18 million these two years and that's close to what he'll make if he goes on the market today. This is what Woodson did to Oakland and it really hindered their cap.
We have to first guarantee we have roughly $10 million under the cap. We had to release guys this year just to get under. We'll have to do the same next year but it won't be quite so bad. Then, if he does sign the tender, we are seriously hindered in free agency. And, trading a player who has signed a tender is not so easy. This is the reason teams do bonuses, so that in the 1st few years, where they hope the player is productive, they aren't getting big cap hits.
Again, it's not so simple as you try to make it sound. The NFL with its cap issues never is. Saban and the Dolphins fully realize this.
kcphantom said::redx: Who honestly thinks that Saban wont settle for something other than a second round pick for surtain? I think he will take the fourth that he was offered and then take another pick next year and that is to be determined on the performance of surtain whether it be a second or third.
But if you honestly think that he will get a second this year now that is funny:roflmao:

My Tip
4th This Year
2-3 Cond. Next Year and Saban has his 2nd.
mattgilm said:Surtain is better than anybody we will draft this year in the second round. He has been our best CB for years. If he can be a team player and take a small cut in salary he would be invaluble to our defense. All players are subject to injury. If Madison or howard get hurt we only have Poole. :evil:
fintimtc said:One of the big gripes I have had with our FO the past few years is our inability to get something in return for guys who are about to decline.Now I know Surtain is still relatively young,but now is the time to recoup something for him.
I think what is funny is how all your KC fans think by coming here low balling you actually are going to do anything positive. Personally, I hope we decide not to trade him so that you can watch your nasty CB's get toasted again for an entire season. Your piece of crap defense should be offering us two #1's for Surtain based on how bad you were.kcphantom said::redx: Who honestly thinks that Saban wont settle for something other than a second round pick for surtain?

Not to mention he'd be the best defensive player on the KC roster. In fact he'd be the best since Derrick Thomas.AquaAssasin said:yeah but not a 4th or conditional pick. Pat is still at the top of his game. You dont get rid of a pro bowl corner for peanuts.
