After Minnesota signs Cousins to a two year extension today, Stefon Diggs wants out.

The two of them do not get along at all.

Very bad day for me as a vikings fan lol.

U can’t win in the nfl with a superstar WR on a big contract. That’s a fact!

Hypothetical Question -

If Tom Brady was drafted this year to the same Patriots squad and with Bill as HC, could he have close to the career he's had?

Byron Jones to the Dolphins. I love it, and you have to wonder if Xavien Howard gets shipped off to, say, Detroit or Washington for a trade up.

Howard took down all his Dolphins pics on IG.

Phins make Byron Jones highest paid corner... Hate this move. Did I read that right? 2 career ints???

His lack of INTs are because he's barely thrown at. I think Xavien Howard gets shipped off, if that lets us move up to #2 or #3 in the Draft this makes a ton of sense. I can't picture them locking up so much cap space with two corners.

Wayyy too much money. His only 2 ints came off a hail mary and a deflected pass at the LOS. That low of a number suggests his lack of playmaking abilities. He’s “good” but not highest paid corner good. Howard’s value is too low right now. We trade him and our pick, we lose that trade.

We'll never know.

I was watching a documentary on Brady though - he's such an oddity. Yes, he was drafted in the 6th round - but everything about his college production suggested he absolutely should have been drafted much higher. Doubt we see the likes of him again.

Giants just signed Bradberry from the Panthers - 3 years $45m. Solid player.

Dolphins linked to free agent center Ted Karras

The Miami Dolphins have taken a look at free agent center Ted Karras, according to a report for the Miami Herald’s Barry Jackson. The Dolphins have not offered Karras a contract, as of yet, but...

The Dolphins didn't overpay Jones, that was the market. $82.5M/5 years = $16.5M average per year.

The New York Giants whiffed on Jones, settled for James Bradberry, and gave him $45M/3 years = $15M average per year.

Comparing the two deals, it's actually a good deal for Miami or a horrible deal for the Giants. The cap will go up and so will salaries and Bradberry will get more money in 3 years from now, likely bringing his average at or higher than Jones, a far superior player.
