Per Adam Shefter.
This was no fire sale. Ajayi has been feast or famine. Aside from 3 200 yards game:
this is what he has rushed for since the Pitts game last year:
111
79
77
45
61
48
51
59
33
122
16
46
77
130

64 yards a game - over 16 games. 1,029 yards

Just wait to see what our other backs average lmao! You will be begging for Jay to come back.

I would've preferred Juice being traded, he'll be gone in the offseason or he'll be back with WR #1 money he doesn't deserve

Gase loves Landry. Parker is the candidate to go. Let's see how long he stays healthy for this time

And you act like ajayi is responsible for not being consistent when it is entirely the fault of the oline and gase's predictable playcalling.
Ajayi is the best back in the league in terms of breaking tackles and yards after contact. That tells you all you need to know about whether it's ajayi that is inconsistent or it is gase and the oline.Last edited: Oct 31, 2017 -

Some gold in here today. Jay is someone elses problem now. A change of scenery is probably best.
This is all on Jay Ajayi. He's got a lot to learn about being a pro and the writing was on the wall from week 1 last year.
As for Landry, he'll be gone because someone will overpay for him.
Therefore, to me, that means today while he was "available" we likely never got an offer over the 3rd round compensatory pick we'd likely get if he walked. I mean, afterall, why would anybody trade more for the guy unless they know they're going to be able to sign him to a deal. -

Honest question, do you think a player could have a problem learning and studying the plays?eltos_lightfoot likes this. -

With Carroo getting more playing time, I think it is very likely he will be the slot WR in 2018 , with
Parker and Stills as the outside WR and Landry will likely be playing elsewhere next year.
It will come down to who Gase wants, Parker or Landry going forward. Because both of them will not be Miami Dolphins in 2018.
Personally I like Landry and would love to see him stay. Yet he is pricing himself out of what the Dolphins can afford to pay for slot receiver. The reality is that in nearly three and a half years in the league, Landry has average less than 11 yards per reception and scored only 16 TD’s.
These are nice stats for an above average slot WR in the NFL but is no where near the stats of what a top tier WR averages.
If he is willing to sign for $6-7 million a year, then the Dolphins should try and sign him. Anymore than $7 million a year, he just isn’t worth it, IMO.danmarino and Dolphin North like this. -
Why is williams still here he missed a lot more assignments than ajayi, what about tunsil? Pounced? Gray? They all have missed assignments.
The problem with the offense has not been ajayi, it has been bad oline play and very bad playcalling by gase. He should demote himself from being the playcaller and let the QBs audible. That will do a lot more to get this offense turned around than trading away your best player.
But then again letting somebody else call plays and letting the QB audible will hurt gase's ego and his aura of being an offensive genius and we can't have that.CanGasePlaybook likes this. -

Bottom line is if he stays another year you get some production (even if he misses time) and you're off the hook with no dead money.
