But you have the right idea. We mortgaged our future. Now’s the time to recoup what we lost. Albeit it’s an indirect path, but it’s a guaranteed two first round picks when someone matches our sheet for TT.

BringBackFergy Posted February 21, 2018 Author Posted February 21, 2018 Do the Dolphins seriously think they can get two first round picks for Jarvis Landry?? Common man. He’s a pre madonna. At least by franchising Tyrod we have a captured audience (QB is more sought after than WR). IMO

Pay attention. That was an easy response to really not support your point. Support your point. I'm paying attention, perhaps I disagree with it. And I can assure you, you're no football guru, so any disagreement is reasonable. The GM hasn't even had a draft yet, and you're talking like he did a bunch of things for this franchise.

Ummm not allowed. If we wait til next year to tag him we won't get the 2 first round picks until then. We want them now. 2

You also can't cut a guy to franchise him Plus he's due $18 mil this year if we don't cut him, vs $25+ on a franchise tag... Even if you hypothetically could do this... Why would any team pick him up for $25mil and lose 2 picks? Why wouldn't said team just offer a trade for him now, while he is only making $18 mil? Y'all don't understand the franchise tag.

Tag him now and watch the offers come in. I think we can all agree two 1st round picks could be used by our team. That would give us four in the first round and pays us back for the Sammy fiasco. 4 minutes ago, SouthNYfan said: Sees what? You can't franchise a guy who is under contract...

Now’s the time to recoup what we lost. Albeit it’s an indirect path, but it’s a guaranteed two first round picks when someone matches our sheet for TT. How did Watkins cost 5 the future?? We swapped up from #9 to #4 and threw in the following year's first and useless 4th rounders. It's obvious they wanted a WR so if the picks went the same order, assuming sammy went #4, then Mike Evans and obj and Brandon cooks were available... Any of them wouldn't have been franchise altering for us. Nothing was made of the 3 picks we traded, as the 2015 draft was kind of trash from where we would have picked and pleased onward. We then traded Sammy to the Rams for EJ Gaines and a 2nd rounder this year. So all in all as of today we are left with: EJ Gaines and a 2018 second round pick #56 To get that we gave up: Sammy Watkins, 2015 #19 and #115 How is that a loss of 5 picks? 13 minutes ago, BringBackFergy said: Some guys here seem to think a “potential” free agent is only this year.

Even if you could, it is either an average of the top5 or top10 salaries at the position, depending on the type of franchise tag you use. That would be around $22,000 for Tyrod plus the picks, vs 18 and picks with a normal trade You're completely off the mark on this

So basically you'd rather let him walk and get nothing than tag him and get 2 first round picks.
