Feel better about that yet?

We got his replacement for 5 years at much cheaper, plus another 1st and 2nd round pick.

 

[REAL DEAL]

The deal was a no brain er, you can't pass up two ones and a two for Tunsil when your going through a rebuild.

 

[superphin]

I'm not going to feel good until his replacement performs well on the field. I mean if he turns into the next Robert Gallery than there are no good feelings.

Congrats to Laremy Tunsil. Great deal for him.

I mean at some time, we can't keep trading players when their contracts are up, right? You draft players and develop the, and if they're good you keep them. Miami isn't t the AAA of Football

Congrats Laremy! Great player, worthy of the contract.

I'm also happy with the picks we got in exchange for him and look forward to using the future picks to build around Tua even more.

 

[PSU Cane]

Terrible organization.

They gave him ALL the leverage buy trading so much for him without a deal in place and then letting Hopkins go and feeling the backlash of fans and probably Watson.

Too bad Watson didn't demand a trade. I would have snatched him up in a NY Minute.

 

[DisturbedShifty]

Not a member of the Dolphins so I, personally, couldn't care less what he signed for.

I watched him play twice last year and thought he was average to above average. He was certainly nothing special. I was shocked he was all-pro.

Good player, not great yet. Has all the physical too but he had 18 penalties last year and many other tackles have played at a higher level.

You only watched him twice. Watson was sacked 62 times before Tunsil, 44 times while he was there. there were 14 more games to watch and put into a framework.

Actually another 1st and two 2nd round picks. So if Miami does take a safety to with their late 2nd round pick that would mean they replaced their starting tackle and safety with another tackle, safety and three other prime picks.

Good for him.

One a related matter I would like to play poker with Bill O'Brien.

Where are all the people complaining on draft night wondering why we traded away Tunsil for picks?!


Here's all you need to know:

"The deal includes $57.85 million guaranteed and $40 million due at signing. "

Whoof

He’s the most overrated OL in NFL history if you go by this contract relative to performance on the field. He’s also lazy. W all that guaranteed money, I can all but guarantee the false starts will keep piling up, as will the blown protections. He never impressed me here - and I thought we fleeced Houston. To be brutally truthful, he wasn’t even as good as Vernon Carey or Todd Wade were for us. And he’s no where near what Jake Long was and shouldn’t be mentioned in the same sentence. Wow Houston is stupid.
