N Suh..would you go for it?

Nooooo.

Of course, but if we sign him let Odrick walk, he ain't THAT much better than Earl Mitchell, get another DT in the draft, we could get an Eddie Goldman in the 2nd or even Carl Davis in the 3rd

Who else you gonna cut to clear the cap space?

Ellerbe, Wheeler (Jun 1), Starks, and Shelley Smith, that's 13.3 mil saved, 16 mil if you designate Ellerbe a Jun 1 cut too.

I agree LB..cut everyone, and find him a young player with hi upside in the draft like goldman to make up the talent loss and where you don't have to drop a first round contract on..

Exactly, you gotta think having Suh here would raise Earl Mitchell's game as well, along with Wake and Vernon.

As much as I would love to see them sign Suh, I just don't see it as a possibility. He is going to be looking to be paid more than $15 million a year at least and the Dolphins just don't have that type of money to spend on one player. Especially when they have so many needs on the team at this time.

I believe the best place for Suh would be with the Colts. They have the cap space to sign him and with him on their DL, they would probably be the favorite in the AFC next year and for the next several years.

That saves 13-16 million, 7 of which goes to Clay for his 1 yr deal. Subtract the cost of replacing the guys you listed, say 3-5 million total if we sign scrubs, leaving maybe 3-4 million, half of which will be needed for draft picks.

Cut Mitchell to and go with the youngster anthony johnson...

Gimme Suh. I'd love it.

We already have enough money for everything you listed without including the guys LBsFinest did. Not that I think signing Suh is a good idea.

Yeah my mistake. With today's moves we are about 2 million under the cap.

You think Suh, Francis and Johnson > Odrick, Starks, Mitchell?

Did you include the 8 mil carryover from last season?

Good point.

No, tbh Philbin and Co have not shown they know what to do with elite talent as it is.

Yup I'd do whatever I can to land him as long as he comes a shade cheaper than JJ Watt. Probably the best DT in the game. This kind of player does not hit the open market too often. Elite!

These clowns can't handle Wallace and you want t o give them Suh??????? No thanks.

Okay I fooled around a bit at overthecap, after Clay's tag we currently have 9.5 mil in cap space, you cut Shelly Smith and Starks, Ellerbe and Wheeler for Jun 1, that gives us approx $26.9 mil. But 11.4 mil of that wouldn't become available until Jun 1st, so we'd have about 15.5 mil for free agency, then another 11.4 mil clears in June which is more than enough to sign all our draft picks.

if we just cut Ellerbe outright we'll have 21.1 mil for the immediate free agency period. And obviously we can sign Pounce and Clay to long term deals to lower those $7 million cap numbers and free up a little more space.

I dont have a problem with it..That defense with all three healthy didn't do anything of substance, and none of them require a double team..

lets look at this from a team perspective...He is immediately the leader of the team..he's the most dominant at the position..He matches up well with the pats..no injury history..

I have a feeling, just a hunch, he's not gonna ask for more than JJ watt, maybe a lil but not as much as some are saying.

Went to fanspeak's free agency simulator fanspeak.com/mtc/ ...restructuring Wallace and Albert's contracts free up another 12 mil. 33 mil for FA, now we're talking.

I would love to go all in on suh
