free agency to actually start?

 

Jesus, you guys are like a pack of rabid dogs. Instead of dumping on his thread why dont you point him in the right direction? You know, that way going forward he makes threads more to your liking?

First of all what other teams are making moves Aqua? We made as big a move as anyone short of the Bowe signing and the Alex Smith trade (for whom we were never a player)....

Free Agency starts in about a week or so. We have time. Nows the time we should be looking at a Harvin trade in case Wallace and Jennings fall through. Who knows, maybe JI is doing just that....?

 

lol, sorry dude.

To Aqua: Nothing is guaranteed in free agency, which is why no one should get their hopes up too high beforehand. Sure, it's fun to look at who is available in FA in juxtaposition with the easiest team that said player projects to, but there are too many competitive and financial variables that it's just personally damaging to assume someone is going to land somewhere with any definition.

 

Boik apparently doesn't like my milkshake

 

Fin-o said it tastes like doo doo. :rimshot::crapstrom:

 

As if right on que, rotoworld posts this from yahoo sports:

 

What is wrong with these guys? Have they noticed that typically the more humble you are, the higher you end up getting paid? i.e. Calvin Johnson

 

Then he won't need the complimentary set of Samsonite luggage when he signs a new contract.

 

And here I thought you were reporting Hartline being resigned despite 1 TD all year.

Wait, WHAT!?!

 

Well, having 7 starters come up for free agency makes it unlikely we will even adequately fill all those holes.

How long should we be patient? As long as we can stand to, I suppose. Or until you feel there is something more rewarding to spend our time and money on. If Los Angeles gets a football team and I respect the front office and owner, I may try to put some attention and time there. But Miami will always be like the girl who took my virginity, and broke my heart and gave me the clap, and yet kept luring me behind the bleachers and I knew she was no good for me but I kept going back there to lie in the soda and popcorn detritus until she teased me by showing them to me, then saying "No. You can;t touch." and pulling her sweater back down and doing up her coat buttons with the loops and wooden pegs, then leaving me there all blue-ballsed as my self-esteem slipped away. But someday, I tell myself, it won;t be like this. Someday she will treat me nice.

Like that.

 

If Harvin thinks he deserves that much, then he can keep his crazy *** away from Miami. He should get a new agent too.

 

Yeah, we don't need that headache! (See what I did there?)

 

Let me guess Aqua.....you're a 'glass half empty' sort right ?? Why don't we lament this FA period after it actually starts ??

 

16.5?? REALLY????

This is EXACTLY why you build through the draft.

 

I look at it this way. If we miss out on both receivers (Jennings and Wallace) that most think we're after, then that will force us to turn to the draft. Which wouldn't be a bad thing imo.

 

Who are those seven? There's two left that matter right? Long, and Smith. Everyone else has been resigned, tagged, or replaced.

Whether you agree with signing Mike Wallace or not Miami being interested in him has been one of the worst kept secrets this off season and he's one of the top free agents out there. Calm down and take a deep breathe. Miami has "money and picks" and they're going to use it/them

 

What bad news ? Teams can only sign their own FA until March 12th. We cannot even start negotiations with FA, other then our own, until tomorrow, March 9th. Why the friggin panic. And lets just say Minn offers Wallace 100 million dollars. Does that mean to make fans happy we should offer him 120 million dollars ? No f'n way. Then we go thru the draft and find a few WR. Sheesh, people have the tub warm and new razor blades ready and FA did not even start yet.

What other moves should we make ? Pay Smith a kings ransom to keep him ? No way. Pay Jake 11 million a year to keep him ? no way pay Reggie Bush 5 million a year to keep him ? no way. What you would then have is the same exact team we had last year.

 

I think those reports are that other teams are interested in certain FAs (like Minny and Wallace), but they can't do anything (technically) until midnight tonight....the exact same time that we can begin to negotiate with them...

 

Yeah, and it could really be that either Irish wants folks to think that way or that most anyone who is relatively familiar with the NFL and the Fins would put 2 and 2 together and come up with Wallace as a prime candidate for us....

Lets see.... dire need of a WR (Miami - check). Enough money to potentially sign a guy wanting top 5 money (Miami - Check), the top FA WR available (Wallace - check)....I mean, it all fits...so us being attracted to Wallace is pretty much easy to connect...

 

My post was an attempt to get aquafin to take a few steps back from the ledge. Not an attempt discuss the potential pursuit of Wallace. He seems worried that Miami hasn't been linked to any free agents when in actuality they have been linked heavily to both Wallace and Jennings. Whether it's smokescreens from Ireland, other teams, agents remains to be seen. It is lying season after all

 

FA hasn't begun, this thread was over by the 2nd post.

 

That's nice of you notice, but if you don't mind there is a bit of carcass left over there, and well being a rabid dog.........





It's kind of appealing. :shifty:

 

Dude, its all good man. Everyone here screws up. The reason Todd (Phinsational) noticed first is because well,......basically he's the resident lunatic. So its kind like of finding a kindred thought for just a second. And, well the rest of us, being fairly tight-knit just gave you the business a bit. Its not a bad thing, just means you belong.

You know, like monkeys, when they throw their poo at you...........

O.K. so maybe not like that exactly.....but..............ah **** it.

 

Just to let you know- I removed the fist bump I gave your previous post..... and I may or may not remove a handful more if this attitude of yours doesn't change real quick.

 

Jeff Ireland,......is that you again?

 

I'm dead serious. There are lines you just don't cross, Richard.

Spoiler

 

You tell 'em young walloper. I'd go back and unfist bump every single one of those posts you fisted him on. That will learn him real good. :yes:

 

Blood in blood out, pappy. If we all band together I'm sure we could remove 8 or 9 thousand of 'em.






PS: I'm anticipating adding Matt to the list as well. Gonna be a long night, ole timer.

 

He probably fist bumped Richard quite a bit. Todd's new name is going to be Dick Beatus :pointlol:

OK now back on topic....:)

 

That's what we should do till Con comes crawling back on his hands and knees and begs forgiveness. What sort of double standard is it, if we get warnings for using the word 'idiot', but 'lunatic' is ok? :confused2:

 

A lunatic by definition is someone who cant help their illness. An idiot is a stupid person and calling someone that is therefore insulting.

 

You said that with such an air of authenticity :cupid:

 

Neither one can help it. Some people are born lunatics or have it thrust upon them later in life, while some people are born as idiots, or later get dropped on their head by accident. :hi5:
