WotAGuy Posted March 16, 2020 Posted March 16, 2020 Wasn’t he 5th year option about $10M? If so, makes sense the Bills didn’t resign him for those dollars that the Fins gave him.
Mountain Man Posted March 16, 2020 Posted March 16, 2020 Imagine how big a number an actual pass rusher will get.

A nice payday. Expand really suprised we didn't match that. That's not outlandish, esp. given he played 1/2 snaps with 6.5 sacks. not sure what great pass-rushers/DE's are avaialble in FA. And the draft does not look great. The top guy Chassion from LSU has no numbers to back up his athletic ability (looks like the guy from Michigan who went high last year). And the others look like 2nd rounders who will go in the 1st (Gross-Matos, Epenesa). I guess Baun at LB is possible.

poblano Posted March 16, 2020 Posted March 16, 2020 So far Miami is paying two (below) average players 10 millions avg/year. Is good for me 1 1
mushypeaches Posted March 16, 2020 Posted March 16, 2020 He's a nice player and would have been good to keep at a reasonable price. But not at $10M per for only 50% of the snaps. Can't keep everyone, and I'm OK with not overpaying to keep Shaq
Doc Brown Posted March 16, 2020 Posted March 16, 2020 No state income tax and warmer weather. I wonder if Shaq gave Beane the opportunity to match it?
fansince88 Posted March 16, 2020 Posted March 16, 2020 10 mill....pass. This crew will replace him. Not worried. 1

Expand Side note: This really isnt as big a deal to players as us fans make it. They pay state income tax for where ever each game is played. So at best it's a 50/50 savings.

The same thing happened last year and we wound up with a great free agency group. Outside of Hopkins, is there anyone we really would have wanted at the years.money they signed for? None of my favorite targets have come off the board yet. As for Shaq, I didn't want to lose him but the Phins overpaid. Just my opinion, but generally the teams making the huge signings in the first wave of free agency tend to regret it. We're hopefully taking the smarter approach again.

Expand Agents are well aware that they don't have to pay state income tax on at least 50% of their games. It's just a small advantage these teams have when recruiting free agents.
