LB3 Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 (edited) Yikes. That's a lot for a guy that's only really had 1 average/good season. They had to do it, but damn. Edited May 18, 2015 by LBSeeBallLBGetBall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malazan Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Yikes. That's a lot for a guy that's only really had 1 average/good season. They had to do it, but damn. That is the going rate for a QB with average/good season. They got a steal regardless of what they paid him. Behind Brady, he is the most stable QB in the division.

They had to do it, but damn. he was almost benched last year and he has not gotten them to the playoffs. But hey, they kind of had no choice.

What a Tuel Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 (edited) The 5th year option which is $16 million next year puts the Dolphins at 164 million for active contracts for 2016. Depending on how it is spread out over the years, its probably better that they signed him and spread it out a bit. With the option they are paying $44.75 million for Suh and Tannehill.

Beef Jerky Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 They had a better team last year IMO and couldn't do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FireChan Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 So much cash tied up between Suh and a mediocre QB. Love it. Great planning, Fish. If 11th in yards and 12th in TD's is mediocre, please sign me up for mediocre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KD in CA Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Yikes. That's a lot for a guy that's only really had 1 average/good season. They had to do it, but damn. I think that's the key -- it isn't that much anymore for a middle-tier QB. Extend him now before a) the price goes up and/or b) his game improves. I'd certainly take Tannehill at $16MM over EJ, Cassel, et al at 1/2 the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelly the Dog Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 They were in a tough spot, almost an impossible one. I happen to think he is pretty good and probably worth 15m. I know I would take him on the Bills for the next three years at 15m per to see if he becomes very good. They couldn't just release him, he wouldn't sign for less, they couldn't really franchise him. 96m and 45 guaranteed is probably the best they could do as long as the 45m is more like 15 per for 3 and not 45m for the first two and then a decent sized salary in year three over it.

FireChan Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 (edited) Sign you up for that at $16mil/year? VS a guy who can't reach half those numbers for a tenth of the price. Yes. In a heartbeat. I'd sign Tanny at that price and not look back. Edited May 18, 2015 by FireChan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoSaint Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 If 11th in yards and 12th in TD's is mediocre, please sign me up for mediocre. thats like JP losman territory! realistically, thats a dangerous area, as simply staying healthy for 16 games, and not being a trainwreck will let you compile decent ranking volume stats. hes 11th in yards, but 9th in attempts, leaving him 28th in YPA. i think hes a decent qb, but im not upset they extended him.

Lurker Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 With the option they are paying $44.75 million for Suh and Tannehill. Excellent. Now all we need is for Suh's game to drop off because of the Florida heat (he's an Oregon boy, so 90-degree plus days in September and early October will be pretty uncomfortable) and Tanny to buckle under pressure from the big contract...

Is there another QB in the top ten of "volume stats" that you wouldn't take on the Bills? If his YPA was higher, he wouldn't be a good QB, he'd be in Aaron Rodgers' company.
