PFT just reported that Ramsey WILL get a new deal with the Dolphins. Though its not bigger in contract money it IS bigger in guaranteed money So the deal is for the next 3 years he's going to get $17, 18, and $19MM FULLY guaranteed. So unless his game improves a lot from 2022, the Phins are going to be on the hook for a "good" CB, but paying for an elite one.
Clearly Miami is going all in for 2022.
So, let's summarize some of the Fins recent moves:
* A 1st, 2nd, two 4ths and $120M for 4 years for 29 year old Tyreek Hill, whose game is based on speed. Although he clearly improved the Fins last year, that was a pile to give up.
* A 1st and 4th and $110M over 5 years for Chubb, who at least is young at 26.
* A 3rd and $54M fully guaranteed for 28 year old Ramsey, who isn't that old but whose performance significantly tailed off last year.
* $75M over 5 years for 31 year old Armstead.
As you say, Miami is going "all in" for the upcoming year, but by massively mortgaging the future both in draft picks (including the ones lost in the TB fiasco, three 1sts, three 3rds, and two 4ths and counting) and especially the giant contracts they are giving out. If they were renting some proven QB like Rodgers maybe it wouldn't be completely crazy. But even if Tua showed he can be a quality starter on the field last year (at least IMHO), between his college career and his career at Miami he simply seems to be one of those players who suffers major injury after major injury, unfortunately. Why go "all in" under these circumstances?
Miami may very well be a handful next year (especially if Tua can stay on the field when we play the Fins), but they really seem to be torpedoing their chances in the future by sacrificing all of these draft picks and giving out these gigantic contracts. Thank goodness they don't have anyone with much sense in charge there.
