Interesting cuts and transactions throughout the league

A 3rd round pick and 2 players..

No word yet on who the 2 players are.. EDIT: Old friend Barkevious Mingo and LB Jacob Martin

Embarrassing for the Texans and embarrassing for the Dolphins who ostensibly couldn't offer anything more than this.

How is it embarrassing for the Dolphins? Clowney said he wouldn't report if traded there. It had nothing to do with the compensation that the Texans would receive..

I disagree. Not bad given they had to sell at fire sale prices. Jackob Martin will be the key. Rapsheet reported GM's were very high on him. Mingo was a good STer for us, but not a great scheme fit for this defense. The Texans are a better one, but I think he was a throw in who doesn't suck and has some value

Well, the risk of losing Caserio falls significantly if O’Brien gets fired. Seems that he’s headed in that direction.

 

[Ring 6]

Exactly. He’s BB. You ain’t. Have a blessed day AJ.

Dude are you off you off your meds or something?

You make a post saying we should sign him, I make one saying he isn’t what we need, and you call me out for not being allowed to have an opinion because I’m not bb?
Honestly wtf?

I look at it the exact opposite. I think the risk goes UP if they fire O'Brien because Caserio would be the man with the final say. Not whomever they bring in as a coach.

Well, I suppose that's embarrassing for them in a different way from how I was thinking.

Texans shouldn't have let the situation reach this point.

Is this true?? If so, kudos good sir, kudos!

This is one of the most lopsided transactions in recent memory. Absolutely embarrassing for the Texans.

While the Seahawks clearly got the better end of this trade Clowney isn't worth 16-17M. He is good but not THAT level of good. For a price like that you want a game changing type player. Clowney is very good but not game changing IMO.

I've always thought the worst kind of players to sign long term are those consolation stars.

The ones when you pay 1-4M less for discount versions of the top guys.

For instance a guy like Dee Ford. As in "He is our Von Miller/Mack/ect" No he isn't. You are paying just 2-3M less for a far inferior player who can be taken away/managed by the top teams.

Clowney to me is in that same ball park. He is like Chandler Jones in a lot of ways. He gets a lot of pressures and sacks but can't really ruin your day when it matters. At least that is my opinion on the player. I know a lot will disagree. The fact is though that he couldn't ruin the Patriots day and was never able to take over a game or force constant double teams or change the way they had to play.

You pay top dollar for a guy who makes you change your game plan. Not for the guy that makes you chip block him while you shrug and absorb the 1-3 bad he will force and continue on as usual.

Dolphins have reached an injury settlement with Dwayne Allen

Any idea of how hurt he is?

✔@JosinaAnderson
Dwayne Allen to me on MIA moving on: "They got younger guys they want to invest more time in. They decided to let me go, but I appreciate the opportunity that they gave me. There r teams calling, but we will see. I had an offseason knee surgery that I need to heal up from."

no help for awhile

"I'd have done better"

- Nick Caserio's thoughts

 

[Betterthanmost]

So far no surprising cuts. I am still hoping for a Rodney Harrison type of cut at TE.
