RalphWilson'sNewWar Posted August 8, 2021 Posted August 8, 2021 Makes sense. This is the target year for Miami to start to open the window. Where Playoffs are the floor and Division Title the ceiling. Everybody needs to be on the same page traveling in the same direction. Now…they have everyone onboard. Tua looks good to great in Camp. Confidence and energy and buy in are high. Time for them to go after it now without any nagging issues. 1 1 2

I don't know enough about the Phins locker room but I have a hard time believing he is that guy based on his whining. 1
GunnerBill Posted August 8, 2021 Posted August 8, 2021 Most of what they have done is add guarantees. This was a sensible step. 1

Well it certainly won't be the last.....................now. Thanks Dolphins. Yes every team will be want to be fools like them. Lemmings.
GETTOTHE50 Posted August 8, 2021 Posted August 8, 2021 The fish are JA17s B word. He owns them and I’m not worried about them at all.

billsbackto81 Posted August 8, 2021 Posted August 8, 2021 That's a lot of money for a CB tandem that Josh destroys twice a year.😂😂😂😂 1 1 1 1

I think Diggs should be and will be taken care of with a new deal, and I’ll be that much happier to see it because he’s been a positive influence and a “process guy”. I too was a little concerned based upon reputation, but so far so good and I’m thrilled! 1

I don’t mind that athletes sometimes cut through all the romanticism and look at themselves truthfully. Solely as a product. No different then ketchup, gasoline or shaving cream. And each product has a cost/value in the market place.

Seems that way, can’t blame the Fins for really not giving up much to keep one of their best players happy. Howard got something but at least gets to say the organization values him.

I wouldn’t want someone like that on my team. This is the kind of thing I was worried about for Diggs when we first traded for him and I’m very happy to be wrong You flipped my view of siding with Howard when all this started. The Van Noy getting cut and other similar cuts/trades, that Howard s plea made sense... and I agreed, then you left me on this boat alone 😆 WFT broooo

I would hate to see the NFL end up like the NBA, where players dictate where they go and who they play with. There are obviously times when a player deserves more. But this particular situation is friggin' nuts. I hope Josh burns his a$$ for 3 TD’s week two !!! 1
Nelius Posted August 9, 2021 Posted August 9, 2021 Cool, even less money when they inevitably re-enter the QB market in a year or so.
HOUSE Posted August 9, 2021 Posted August 9, 2021 The Dolphins are amazing to me. They follow the same rebuilding plan as the Sabres

I am firmly in the camp that Tua will be at best a mediocre NFL starting NFL qb.
