Hats off to Tannenbaum.

I've heard Wallace and a 7th for a 5th but original report has the 7th going the other way.

Either way people are not getting the value of the cap space. We save $5.5M AND his replacement only costs $600k. That means we just relieved $4.9M and got basically the same player except younger and this guy can actually catch and high point the ball instead of waiting for it and comes in w/o the history and can establish chemistry with Tanne from scratch. Even w/o the cancer, just based on play and savings, I would have pulled the trigger.

We also cleared the path to one of the WRs in the draft and recouped a pick we can use to trade up fewer spots than it would have taken. We got a fifth, lost a third but at the same time we now have to trade up fewer spots to get any of the top 3 WRs.

You might want to hold off any jersey purchases if you are a Parker fan, cause he'll be a Dolphin soon.

AND this guarantees we keep Clay AND force the Bills to draft a TE with their second, yes their second, they don't have a first AND they already cut Chandler and the Pats signed him.

Imagine what Rex must be feeling like?

Only downside is Walford is now a lock to be a Bill.
 
I wouldn't buy any jersey at the rate we lose/trade/cut our players...

Lay off the crack pipe with TanneBum. Kenny Still is not worth a 3rd pick and 5th for you best wr is a great! lol

Some people?!?
 
Well, I'm glad you brought up the whole salary cap savings thing, because it's the reason I like the approach so much.

If you want to build a winner, you need to follow the Seattle approach and look at how you invest money in your football team and the type of production you're going to get vs what you're going to spend. I always felt like Jeff Ireland had no ****ing clue about how to assign cap value to players, or just picking up replacement level players in free agency all the time but never really improving the team.

The way we've handled the receiver position this off-season tells me a lot about the 'analytical' approach that Tannenbaum is trying to bring in, and I think it's a reason to be happy right now. No longer are we going to be handing out 6 million dollar a year contracts to guys like Hartline and then sticking with them for unfathomable reasons, it seems. We're going to pay guys based on how efficiently they can produce yards and points (or stop other teams from doing those things) rather than just handing out contracts for who knows what ****ing reason. And we're going to constantly be looking to trade guys whose contracts don't match their production for guys whose production exceeds their contract.

This is an interesting, good, and encouraging approach.
 
Masterful... You guys have really low standards.
 
Why are so many people upset about unloading Wallace? Sure, he had 10tds last year and that was great, but he obviously just didn't fit here.
 
If reports are true that Miami wants to try and have a two te set like patriots did with gronk and Hernandez, then this trade make perfect sense. Clears cap for clay and if we are running a lot of two te sets we don't need a ton of WRs especially that expensive of ones.
 
This seemed impossible to pull off.

Why in hell the Vikings even bothered paying anything for a player everybody KNEW was getting cut is beyond me.

The most difficult part was actually managing to convince all of us and the league, press and other FOs we were willing to keep Wallace after what happened during and after the Jets game.

How a team is willing to take a player who celebrates his stats after losses and quits on his team after Clay scored a touchdown for the lead is beyond me. And don't get me started on the Gibson interview.

You can see the weight Tannenbaum's networking has. Hickey is the better talent evaluator but Tannenbaum brings this Wall Street attitude to the FO.
 
So people are upset at getting a 5th for Wallace, when they were going to cut him anyway and risk getting nothing? People are really going to bitch after all the moves that have been made? When nobody thought we were a player in free agency? GTFOH. Always going to be complainers.
 
3/4 of the GMs in the NFL would have just cut him. Look at Kelly and Jackson. Value was spot on too. Marshall got a 5th and had a better 2014 and a friendlier contract.
 
Have to give some props to Aponte.

When Ireland went in his spending spree before he left, Aponte made sure the contracts were positioned in a way we could get out from under them in 2 years if they didn't work out.

2 years later, EVERY player Ireland signed that off season is gone!

That's what you pay Aponte for.
 
AND we somehow managed to survive the purge. Look at the Saints! Their cap people screwed them and they had to dump actual good players with 0 attitude problems. AND they keep effin it up trading the few cheap players they have. We robbed the Saints for Stills. $600k, 22 yo 1000yd WR for a third?! You must be kidding me. Tannehill must be SO happy and supported. I'm actually glad Tannenbaum was stupid enough to extend Mark in NYJ cause if he liked Sanchize he must have wet dreams with Tanne. You KNOW that if you support your QB like this AND offer him a nice contract there's no way he'll leave but had we forced him to go through the type of situations TO used to forced his QBs into, Tanne could have become disgruntled.

Thank you Mr Ross, for Mr Tannenbaum and Mr Hickey and Dawn Aponte. Now if after all the hard work the FO puts in the product on the field fails, fire Philbin, but please keep the assembled FO in place. We have such a HUGE edge with these 3 in.
