Hopefully we can get Grimes to sign a multi-year deal and not have to use the franchise tag.

First round pick has to be the best OT on the board IMO. Then take a couple of OG.

 

Release Patterson for an extra 5.4 mil and sign Grimes, Starks, and bring in another OL... then have room to maneuver in the draft.

Although all that is worthless if we bring in Ireland 2.0

 

Fixed that for you.

 

I understand that, but if we try to fix the entire OL through the draft, you'll just end up with a bunch of young linemen who will inevitably make mistakes and Tannehill running for his life again... need some veteran stability other than McKinnie and Pouncey.

 

Anyone have an idea at what Sam Shields is looking at in F.A.?

 

Can you even franchise Grimes? That'd be what, 14 mil?

 

I am predicting that Brent Grimes will be returning to his hometown of Philadelphia P.A.

The Eagles are CB needy and the Eagles are cap rich.

But take heart, the CB FA market is bounteous.

I hope they find a younger guy. Keenan Lewis should have been signed to a 5 year deal last year and we wouldn't be talking about this. So glad Ireland is gone forever.

 

Closer to 10 or 11, iirc. We can always tag him and rescind it if we can get him locked up long-term in season.

 

11.25 is the projected number for a CB. I think Section suggested 4 years, 32 million. If the deal is structured correctly, then I could live with that. Still interested in Sam Shields though. Simply because of age.

 

Davis should enough in camp this year to warrant some excitement in going into his sophomore season. Jamar Taylor... He's looking like another 2nd round Ireland pick. Not at all happy with his inability to get on the field or stay healthy. I wouldn't bank on either of them though. As for Carrol, I agree. He did improve. Not sure if I would feel comfortable with him in competition for a starting job though (I think Davis should/can be the future Nickle).

If the Dolphins can fix the offensive line, get the necessary people signed, and have some cash to burn, I would still explore the Sam Shields option. Key word is explore... I'm not sure what type of contract he wants.

 

Grimes has probably played his last game as a Dolphin. Here is one piece that should be added to the secondary.

Cockrell is grossly underrated IMO. THE SCOUTS ARE CRAZY!

He will be in the Shrine game. http://www.wralsportsfan.com/duke-s-cockrell-to-play-in-east-west-shrine-game/13243817/

Another guy to consider is veteran Will Blackmon who got a lot of snaps in Jacksonville this year because of injuries. At midseason, he was actually ranked higher by PFF than Grimes. He will still be a mid to bottom tier FA because he is 29 and has never been a starter. This could be a high value signing.

 

Time to move on from nolan Carroll, no need to pay him a contract with Taylor and Davis in the fold..plus I can prove on three different occasions he pu$$ied out on tackles in important situations, like I mean totally pu$$ied out..don't want that mentality anywhere near this team.

 

well it woulda been nice if Taylor or Davis had shown us anything as rookies, but they didn't. Carroll is one of the few Ireland guys who actually developed, I'd try to keep him.

remember with a new GM in the fold, there will be overhaul, all these young draft picks that haven't shown much like Jamar Taylor, Will Davis, Egnew, Dallas Thomas etc, these guys are no longer on solid footing here, if they don't show massive improvement in camp/preseason, their roster spots are in jeopardy.

 

I MIGHT wanna give Grimes money to Sam Shields instead.

 

*re-sign*

resign = to voluntarily quit or retire from a job or position

 

Obviously. It's different when your on a mobile device, and many of us only use tablets for browsing these days. Bare with us as we battle these keyboards, as well as the infamous auto-correct, etc.

"talking bout a Hyphen ? I'm just tryna get this word through."

 

Yes, you guys truly are heroes......:shifty:

 

There's definitely reasons for optimism. Padre is dead on, that a lot of this will hinge on not only the o-line, but what happens with Grimes.... and Soliai/Starks to a lesser extent.

There's an opportunity for a new OC to come in get on the fast track to being a HC. The running game can only improve and I think the same can be said for RT. Just rebuild the line.

The Defense is a bit more complicated, but let's start with Grimes.

 

We do have some pieces in place. RTH looks promising and has made some strides. He still needs to get much better. I'm not ready to place Vernon or Jones on that list yet. Jones ranked among the worst safeties in the league last year and quite frankly was a liability for our defense. While Vernon tallied up some sacks, he was a liability against the run and completely disappeared at times. The good news is they both are young and can definitely improve.

 

I think it's very unlikely Grimes leaves. Hopefully we'll sign him to a multi-year deal, but at worst we have the cap room to franchise him.

 

We absolutely dropped the ball last year not signing Eric Winston. I think we need to bring in some bodies in Fa and not force our hand in the draft. Geoff Schwartz would be at the top of my list as a guy who could get signed at a pretty descent deal. I would like to go into the draft knowing we can take best players available and not pass on a star cuz we need to reach on a o lineman.

 

Is it really that big of a deal? If you understand what the person means, it was clear enough.

You're insulting the poor guy for something that isn't even a big deal.

 

Dictionary.com lists both definitions under resign. It's just one of those words that has been misused for so long that it became it's own thing

 

So yeah...Brent Grimes.....please re-sign him.

 

So, what are the chances that we can lure Long back?




I couldn't even type that w/ a straight face.

 

I would be the first one knocking on his/STL's door. They need a QB right? Ship Moore over.

 

I'm resigned to re-signing Grimes now that Ireland has resigned.

 

Not sure if you were serious or not but Jake finished the year yet again on the IR with a torn ACL and MCL in his right knee.

 

Still better that what we are dealing with now. When he was playing earlier this year he looked good and besides we might be able to bring him back at a bargain.

 

Why would you want him though. He came off sn injury, started terribly, heated up and proceeded to get badly injured again.

What about that sounds remotely good?

 

His market value has plummeted while still holding the potential to be a pro-bowl backer. I'm not saying throw money at him but even if he can be healthy for 8-10 games....there is definitely value there to be found. Beggars, and make no mistake we are beggars when it comes to finding o-linesmen, can't be choosers.

 

Joking or douching?

Dude, be gentle on the guy.

I've long since given out about the proper grammer in the internet.

 

He just signed a big contract, would you like to trade for him.

 

Me the same here.
