Report: Kiko Alonso could head to Miami with Byron Maxwell

I don't like the swap of picks in this deal at all. We are talking about two big risks. Alonso may never be anything more than just a guy after his knee issues and Maxwell was awful for Philly last year. The two guys are gambles to even be solid players and we swap picks? Especially considering that Philly wanted to dump both guys, they should have been happy that we gave them a 4th. Heck the swap alone should have netted us both these guys and a pick from Philly. Tannenbaum sucks sometimes. I just don't like the way he builds a roster. And why are we not making moves for a guard or two if we want to swap picks or make trades?

 

Miami gets:
- Maxwell
- Alonso
- Pick 1:13


Eagles get:
- Cap: $11M freed up
- Pick 1:8
- Pick 4:???

Cost us a 4th, but gained us 2 potential starters, 2 cuts (Grimes, Sheppard (potentially)), and the #13 pick.

Would have rather a 5th than a 4th...

 

Here's hoping that Gronk (the Fullback) is available in the 5th.

 

What sucks is that I can now see the Eagles picking Jack.

 

I see no legit websites saying this is the deal.Just.watched nfl network talk about signing and williams and they said we still have 8th pick

Thank u

 

lol @ twitter.

 

Damm that does make sense.It might not be official until the league officially opens at 4pm tommorow.So much for any chance at myles jack.

 

No Jack can play outside, put kiko inside.

 

Let's just wait til the final word..I said this when I heard the same tweet.....no freakin way is it true...no...no way...lol

 

Most of the mocks I have seen have Jack going 4th to Dallas anyhow.

 

I hate that we are swapping firsts. Ugh.

I'm not convinced that's what the plan was. I'll need the team to confirm this before I am.

Byron Maxwell LOL.

 

Just a terrible trade. dropping 5 spots in the draft to trade for two injured players LMAO. It will never end.

 

Deal is dead if they're injured, according to PFT. Miami won't make the deal because of Maxwell's shoulder.

 

Myles Jack most likely won't be at 8, and Haregraves might not be either....if that's the case, not much difference between 8/13.....while also gaining 2 starters...Not as bad as a trade, especially with Maxwell restructuring

 

Big "IF" though.. What if it turns out Jack is there at 8 after this trade. Would make me SICK!

 

No, you can't be sick. I am sick.

but seriously, we aren't losing anything but position here. We get 2 players, and STILL get a top 15 player in the draft....pretty nice move. And speaking of "If" Jack is no guarantee either. Remember Aaron Curry? Mr. Safe pick? Jack didn't play last year, and is coming off a torn knee.

Now the question is - is he really cleared or are the Dolphins too embarrassed to back-track and are gambling he'll be okay?

Jack played 3 games last year



If this deal is dead I agree with CK(twitter) to go after Prince now. I felt once we got VJ they would add Pacman.

 

ooops did see the twitter posts

so we are trading for a guy that cannot even do a pushup?? WTF?

 

Trading down in the first round to get two injured and very unproductive players last season makes no sense at all to me.
I woud rather the Dolphins stay at 8 and draft a better player than they will get at 13.

With Tannebsum making these moves, it is likely both these players from the trade with the Eagles will be gone by this time next year and the Dolphins will end up with a worse player at 13 then they could have drafted at 8.

 

it is possible they both could have been cut too.

Where is the OL help?

 

the draft, we slid back, now we can grab the OL ??????

 

Just wondering how everyone feels about this trade now?We did get lucky and end up with tunsil at 13 but who trades down for players instead of draft picks except this sorry *** franchise?

 

The fact we got the best OL in the draft goes a long way in masking this FO error. But it was certainly a bad move.

 

We really got lucky on that one.The eagles suspect move trading up with Browns might have been the best move in the draft.To bad we didn't have such vision.I would take a true franchise qb over any Ol no matter how good.

 

dolphins did that, at least the FO had that feeling. Now everyone hates the QB.

 

If you're picking in the top 10 of the draft you never move down without acquiring picks. Eagles GM will win executive of the year based off this trade.

 

Pumpdogs nailed it. Much maligned but he nailed it
