SI.com reports Ronnie wants Contract Extension

Not extending him would be a major FO failure IMO. It is good that he wants to stay in Miami.

Yeah, nice to see he doesn't want to test the market too. He loves playing here, and we love having him. The FO needs to get this done, asap.

get a deal done! hopefully soon

we need to lock him up, he's on pace for a huge year.

I hope he sticks around. He is a glimmer of hope for the future.

I hope its a long term contract, not those 3 year extensions they gave some of our players this past offseason. Ronnie is the man, hopefully they get it done.

Ronnie is not a FA next year so no need for a franchise tag. They won't have a new collective agreement by then. So Ronnie won't opt out of his contract (if he even can....not sure if their is language in his contract that accounts for no cba). He will make more by not opting out of his contract which is much more then a first round restricted tender as he would not be a FA with no cba but a restricted FA. Hence no opt out.

If his contract is more than a 4 year deal in reality, I'd be concerned.

we cant afford to lose Ronnie until they improve in the passing game.

Honestly people on this site will freak out but I would say sign and trade him..

We have some depth at running back, ricky can play again next year, Cobbs is a stud on the burner and we got more talent behind him..

Ricky is a good player, but honestly were going to get a few more years of the same with him. We got alot of holes to fill and that money and the trades can help this team much more than a split back player...

Im going to go hide from all the haters who will bash me saying no way hes the bestest everiest...

I don't think you're getting enough compensation if you trade him. That's my main issue with trading him. I've criticized Ronnie Brown as much as the next guy, people will tell you ehre that, but he's an integral part of our offense and at this point, getting a third rounder for him just doesn't do it for me.

And take a very large cap hit in the process.

Ricky is calling it quits after next year, I'm pretty sure that we have a thread here with that article. Cobbs is a good backup, but is he really good enough to be a starter? Is he as good as the starting RB's in our own division? I don't think he is.

Im going to go hide from all the haters who will bash me saying no way hes the bestest everiest...

Noone said that he was, but he's better than any RB that we've had in a long time and players like him don't come around often. Ronnie is our offense, love him or hate him, noone can deny that he has been the only player that we've had that other teams fear. Why take a chance in being left without a very good and productive player?

Yeah, you probably should hide. Why is it that every year Ronnie has been here, there has been the minority of posters saying we should get rid of him? Ronnie is #3 in the league for yards coming into today. Ricky is what he is, but he's not gonna carry the load. I don't see Cobbs being a feature back. Ronnie is the best player on our offense, and you want to dump him? Great plan.

You trade Ronnie and all of a sudden we have yet another hole. I dont have confidence in Cobbs and Ricky to carry the load.

Yeah, no doubt. My buddy is a HUGE Pats fan, and he is just hoping that the Phins don't resign Ronnie...it's his little wet dream.

They have great depth at Rb because of Ronnie Brown and Ricky but Ricky said he wants to play one more year.

Trading Ronnie instantly makes running back a huge need....

Sign him for a 4 year extension, IMO. I want him here long term, but I don't want to commit too long for a running back when they usually burn out when they reach the 29-30 year mark...

Nah, nobody should be made to feel like they have to hide because they have an unpopular opinion. With that said, if you knowingly post an unpopular opinion, expect there to be some negative feedback and take it in the spirit of discussion rather than an attack. :)

I only said it because he suggested it. LOL. I only meant that he's prolly gonna get alot of negative responses to that idea.

People should feel free to post whatever they want, no matter how little sense it makes. It keeps stuff interesting (if not a little frustrating) around here.
