Tanenbaum is simply atrocious and has to go. You're right, a string of bad moves somewhat boxed Miami into the situation they were in with Jarvis. If they don't give bad deals to Alonso, Suh, Branch, Pouncey, Timmons (who even after being cut is on the books for $2.75M in dead cap money this year), etc then maybe they could have given Jarvis $13M/year. The Dolphins have so many issues it's depressing.
May cut Suh too because of he has like a $25 million cap number or something this year.
I never understood the Branch or Timmons deals. Branch is a journeyman and Timmons hasn’t been above average since 3 years ago although it’s rumored he’s going to be cut. This trade seems like a rush to get rid of cap...there’s also rumors that they want to cut Julius Thomas and replace him with Trey Burton(I prefer Jimmy Graham but whatever) so it looks like a cap relief move to get Burton and resign Robert Quinn.
Because Landry wanted top tier money and they didn’t value him as top tier. They probably think they can replace what he did in the short yardage passing game with Kenyan Drake...and judging on what he did at the end of the year, they’re probably right.
Maybe wishful thinking. Last year was a massive disappointment and not just due to Tannehill being out. I think if we have a repeat performance (or worse) then Ross will get rid of Tanenbaum. We have the third highest payroll for 2018 and the two teams with higher payrolls - Pittsburgh and Philly - are at least very good teams. Gase probably has two more years at a minimum, barring some type of 2-14 collapse this year.
Look at what Jeff Ireland has done in New Orleans. Speaks volumes to me.
He certainly hit home runs with Lattimore and Kamara. Meanwhile our entire 2014 draft class may already be gone from the roster if we trade Ju'Wuan James as expected and don't re-sign Fede or Aikens. Granted, that was Hickey's draft, not Tanenbaum's, but I haven't been impressed with Tanenbaum at all. His drafts have only been slightly better than his pathetic trades and free agent signings.
Tannenbum screwed up the Jets as well. Not complaining about that, but should have been a red flag to any other team.
If U are a Clevelander and by association a Browns fan as I am, then u are unfortunately subject to checking in to Browns games every Sunday for the first quarter as a ********* ritual just eventually turn the channel, then you’d know for a FACT that Duke Johnson is the best player on the team (most productive, explosive, and passionate about winning). Hugh Jackson routinely targets Duke the first possession of every single game, they get into the red zone off of Duke’s efforts then we end with a field goal. From then on, the “Duke package” is finished and u never see him purposefully targeted again. There shouldn’t be a “Duke package”. Duke is the offense, while Njoku gets acclimated and Josh Gordon gets his life and legs back together.
