Ogbah is a must keep, so is Duke Johnson. I really wanna keep Needem, Smythe and Lindsay. Other than that im okay with loosing the rest of them honesty. Gesicki would be nice but he might price himself out of contention. What do you guys think will happen? Who would you keep?
 
-Ogbah
-Lindsay or Duke for rb. Maybe both. This one could be up in the air
-Hollins
-Needham
-Symthe

I’d say those are the main ones for me. Pretty much everyone else is replaceable / special teams / depth

I’ve decided I’m down to move on from Gesicki. Would be awesome to tag him in some way and get compensation. Dalton Schultz- a much more complete TE and maybe not as expensive either
 
I think we bring back a few others to compete and be available in case of injuries:

1. Needham and/or Perry for CB depth.
2. Tommylee (keep Waddle from returns) and Ford as depth.
3. Biegel and Eguavoen for specials and depth. The latter for the 3rd preseason game. Maybe Roberts for the right price.
 
Oddly enough Smythe is the only one in that group that I would pay without any questions. You know what you're going to get from him.

It would be hard to lose Ogbah but there's no way I'd offer him a 5 yr deal unless there's a 2 year out for the team. Hes had his ups and downs with the Phins and has been inconsistent enough in his career that it would be really tough trusting him with Byron Jones type money. If hes happy with a 3-4 yr deal that the team can get out of after 2 I'd be thrilled to see him back.

Its going to be a fun ride. Another year with a whole lot of turnover, for better or worse.

Why so down on MG? The guy is a matchup nightmare when used properly and an 800 yard receiver in an offense with no direction and no downfield capability.

I get he's not a great blocker or tackle breaker, but he's a matchup problem and potential 1k+ receiver.

Just get rid of the Brisket...Dont really care as long as I NEVER see him under center as the Fins QB in my lifetime.

Absolute hot garbage every outing and I suspect a friend of Flores...

Him, John Beck, and Josh Rosen are the stuff of nightmares.
 
I'd be happy with a mid-late round draft pick on a QB to give Tua adequate incentives. Chances are Tua won't play all 17 games with COVID and Jesse Davis under contract.

Need more

He’s an okay receiver but he’s not out of this world.. he’s not a good route runner. He’s basically big, fast, and good at catching the ball (usually)

That's really all you need though.

Most separation comes from scheme for bigger players, and he doesn't really need much.

I guess I just feel hes been incredibly misused and with his skill set should be a 10+ TD and 1k guy in a good offense.

I don't think his skill set is so easily replaced as people make it seem.

A guy like Mike is never going to get separation in 2.5 seconds, that's just unrealistic for even the best route running TEs in the league.

Right he’s not a terrible player

But like, wouldn’t it be nice to have someone who could break a tackle for once? Someone who could half ass block sometimes ?

The blocking I really put on our coaches. I don't care if a guy "wants" to block or not. If hes going to be on my team, I'm making him learn to block at least to the point he isn't a burden.

I do think it would be interesting to try things like lining him up closer to the LOS and using a pulling guard on run plays to the outside. Having Mike peel off and helping seal the edge on the DE (with the tackle) with the guard pulling around the outside as a lead blocker.

Random thought there and irrelevant haha.

I actually believe McDaniel has a chance to improve his blocking though, especially if he can communicate how important it is and what it would do for his game and value.
