Will Miami have to "Over spend" for lineman?

[KingHydra]

The Bengals, will probably get the pick of the litter due to their success this year. The Dolphins organization is a bit of a mess momentarily. Who would sign with us over the Bengals? Is our organization a bit of a black sheep as far as player acquisition?

 

[Ben Had]

I think we have a few bucks to spend...

 

[superphin]

Money talks and we have a lot of it.

 

[danstilldaman]

Depends on the coach we hire imo.

yes, we certainly do.

Yes we'll have to overspend but who cares - we need 2 top tough tackles yesterday!

weather, no state tax, and $$$ will determine where they go. (not in that order, lol)

Honestly, great point. No state tax is pretty huge for millionaires.

WILL they? No

If you were a Lineman, where do you go? To a team famous for disfunction or a team that just made the AFC Championship game? Thats kind of a "no brainer".

We will directly compete with the Bengals for Lineman this year.

 

[Retro_Marlins]

Nah I'd go O line in round 2, 3 and one 4th and see if we can hit 2 starters on it.

Get off the plane in Cincinnati in March.......it'll take you 5 seconds to get back on the plane.

Miami's advantage will never go away.

Agree with all that. The key is "overspend." There are quite a few holes. I think they'll fill as many as possible with quality players. If so, there's little to "overspend

The Bengals are known to be a cheap organization when it comes to giving out big contracts. I don't think that will change as long as Mike Brown is the owner regardless of their success on the field this season.

I don't think that they need to spend big bucks on the o-line. Instead of going after the high-priced elite Free Agents, I'd pick up some second tier veterans who may be a little older but are still competent. These guys would still be a huge improvement over what they had, and they can start while the young guys (and any draft picks) can learn and improve and slowly work their way into the line-up. This is what they should've done for last season; going with all youth (+ Davis) was a HUGE mistake and helped get Flores fired.
