And the Jags won’t trade him but he would be awesome here. I’d give up a 2nd. Very few qbs get hotter than Fitz. Unfortunately, very fewer can get colder. Fitz has actually gotten better later in career. He just doesn’t have the arm to do it consistently. Love that guy though! Expand I love the dude as well, but you can't build a team around a guy that swings hot/cold as hard as he does. Man... 1

A QB!" with Fitzpatrick after Trentative. The OL looked instantly better; downfield passes were a thing again. And then the awful realization that there was Good Fitz, and Bad Fitz, and Bad Fitz was always going to show at the most inopportune time. The Dolphins will be his 3rd AFC East team to experience that progression Expand You also have to keep in mind that after having to watch Ryan Tannehill play these last several years I can understand how Fitz can SEEM to be a big improvement - at least at first... 4
GunnerBill Posted July 27, 2019 Posted July 27, 2019 Clowney > Ngakoue for me. But if you could get Ngakoue without giving up a 1st (which you would have to to get Clowney) they he is certainly a significant upgrade on Trent and Shaq.
BullBuchanan Posted July 27, 2019 Posted July 27, 2019 (edited) Apparently Ngakoue balked at a $17.5M/year deal. That's a lot of cap % to pay for ~10 sacks a year. Edited July 27, 2019 by BullBuchanan

Very good player, not elite. I'd roll with a healthy Murphy and a contract motivated Shaq before I break the bank on a good to average player who was surrounded by several Pro Bowl/ Elite caliber players. 3

kota Posted July 27, 2019 Posted July 27, 2019 You do not give a Defensive lineman 100M dollar deals. It's not worth it. Ask that dude over at the patriots.

I would not want FitzGerald as backup QB to my young QB. Clearly the team will like Fitz more. He’s the best. Expand I kind of feel sorry for Rosen - a bit. Must be tough to go from being a touted 1st round "QB of the Future" to the guy who's "just not as good" as a 14 year veteran who has failed to make good on starting opportunities with 4 different teams. Someone here pointed out that a camp competition between a young QB you expect to develop and a veteran, is almost always a bad idea because the veteran will win every time. He knows more about the offensive system, he knows how to learn the plays faster, how to diagnose the defense - and the things that make it hard to do on Sunday in the Fall, the contact, the pressure, the wear and tear on the body, just aren't there. So either Rosen is not in the Phins long term plans, or they're following a Bad Plan. 2

Expand The money isn't an issue for the Bills there is enough left in the 2019 cap to absorb a big contract and a lot of space still to come in 2020 (and fat that can be cut in 2020 to make additional space. ) But to give up significant draft capital (I think it would take a 2nd and a 4th in 2020 at minimum) and take on a big contract for a really good but possibly not elite player is usually a move that backfires. I think a trade for Kyle Rudolph at a much more modest price if this team is really looking to add one more piece to the roster before the season starts.

Expand Is he $15 million better? How will his performance be effected without Dareus, Campbell, Jack, Smith and Ramsey? I'd think Shaq and Trent would probably put up better numbers as well in that line up. Apple's to Apple's you are correct, he is marginally better than Trent and markedly better than Shaq as a pass rusher.
