You guys act if though a QB in 2020 if going to turn this franchise around in spite of an OL upgrade, they're going to screw this up trying to trade you best player, sunlife stadium will be empty next year for sure.

I love X and I hope he is on the team for the next decade. But, if trading him helps us acquire draft capital for the next Rodgers, Mahomes, Luck, etc........then it needs to be considered.
I'm sick of mediocracy. We've had plenty of good CB's over the years......no rings though.
So this is the new thing? We draft a player good and no one wants to pay them when it’s time? You guys are some of the most ridiculous people I’ve come across.
But he isn't a lock-down CB, not yet. He has some seriously great ball skills and instincts for a CB, but his coverage isn't elite, it is good, not great. His run defense is what I really appreciate, but you don't pay corners 16 million for their run defense.Uuuuugh. This conversation legitimately drives me bonkers, because both sides make sense to me.
However, I don’t think the Fins are going to need additional first-round picks to get a top QB in 2020 or 2021, if they plan this rebuild properly.
Lock up X, in my opinion. QB is clearly the most important position in football. But having a lock-down corner is pretty freaking important, too. LT and CB are two of the more important positions in the game, and the Fins have two legit, young studs at those positions. They should be there, in their primes, when the rebuild is complete.

If he gets in the top ten next year and repeats 5 or more interceptions, then.......then, you pay him the big bucks.
What's ridiculous is making the 20th ranked CB in the NFL the highest paid CB in the NFL before his contract is even up.
The Dolphins have three legitimate years left of team control over Xavien.
This year his contract year,2020 franchise tag,2021 2nd franchise tag.
If he wants to hold out this year for a contract, that may actually be beneficial to the Dolphins future plans.
Dolphins aren't trying to win this year and it would give the Dolphins a chance to take another look at Cordrea Tankersley, Jalen Davis, perhaps a couple draft picks.
This all based mostly on interceptions. What if this year the QB's we face don't make bad throws to his area??
What if his stat line only shows 2 interceptions next year and he again ranks in the twenties??
Giving him a monster contract in 2019 would be risky, reckless, and needless; they have stated they aren't going to do that kind of thing this year.
So then who do we ever pay? If don’t pay our home grown talent, who gets the money? What mythical thing do you imagine we do with all this unused cap space if it isn’t being used on our own players?
