Miami needs better players. If they aren't making a splash, then reaching out to 2nd contract players, on the 2nd tier, isn't a bad strategy. As long as they fit, Gase can coach em up.

Miami must show prudence with spending

Because you may be right and I somewhat feel like that, too, only in that I felt we had too many holes to adequately fill in one offseason and letting Albert walk (which I'm not necessarily disagreeing with because of his injury history) created another. -
This team is going to have a steep drop off next year unless they make some serious additions when 4 pm comes around in a little bit. There are just way too many holes all over this roster on both sides of the ball and not enough resources and the names that can help are dwindling. TJ Lang or Hightower needs to be added. They are the only real impact names left at our 2 biggest positions of need. Our offense has a ton of weapons, and it wont matter one iota when our guard play is continually bringing down the entire offense, especially if Mike Pouncey keeps getting hurt and bringing down the entire interior OL. Guards are desperately important because of the way our lack of guards the last 3 years have completely ruined our running game. Ajayi was good in games that we were fully healthy, but our lack of continuity in the run game leads to bad first down runs, which short circuits our offense and puts us in 3rd and long situations that we just are not equipped to be able to convert consistently with the best teams in this league.
As far as the LB position, we can invest in the draft, but we desperately need an impact free agent addition as well at LB that at the very least stabilizes our terrible LB corp because you simply cannot count on a 22 or whatever pick to be an impact immediately and this team cant afford relying on only a first round pick to immediately upgrade our LB corp. Alonso, Hightower, and a first round LB or DE would be a great way to go forward. Then we sign a guy like Chance Warmack for a smaller price at Guard who has been ok and has potential, draft another guard early, maybe sign another one closer to training camp, and we fill a lot of holes.
But we cannot not sign either a top guard, LB, or DE. There has to be a move coming soon. -

Sorry, but we arent filling 2 G's, 2 LB's, a DE, 3rd DT, CB depth, and possible need for a starting S through the draft. -
This FO isn't going to put themselves into cap hell, so don't be disappointed when they don't swoop in and get every high-priced FA out there. It should also be noted that free agency hasn't even begun til right now, and it often takes a week or two before all of the notable signings of a team are complete. -

Again with the counting stats. Keep them coming. -
Or, is it possible that maybe your overreacting a bit. I'm not being a smart ***...I'm curious. -
Just keeo in mind that last season was a contract year for him and he was single teamed pretty much all season cuz wake and suh took up all the double teams on the other side of the line, and he still only managed 5.5 sacks and was terrible at setting the edge and stopping the run.

Do we know what his guaranteed money is and cap hit for 2017?

You're like a broken record except at least the record will just be chance alone produce a moment where it's in time and makes sense. Unfortunately you're more akin to a pot calling a kettle black than you are to anything else.
It's hilarious. Keep it coming. :rolleyes: -
We are now still needing another quality starting Guard, two starting linebackers a starting free safety and a run stuffing DT.
