Miami just landed Robert Quinn.

[BradyFTW!]

If Miami wants to gamble on paying $12M per to Quinn based on his last few years of production, then that's cool. It could pay off, but I'd guess there's a much greater than 50% chance that they end up regretting taking him on at his cap number.

 

[BradyFTW!]

Rams are close to my heart because my best friend is a Rams fan. He thinks they'd have cut him anyways.

Bet they'll draft Landry to replace him. Putting together a BC defense in Los Angeles.

Living in LA, that was the word around here as well. He wasn't going to stay on the Rams at his cap hit, they were just hoping to get something for him.

They are going to cut Suh. He will cost them 26m in cap space if he stays on. They could extend him of course. But he has a $9m bonus coming up in a week which guarantees and extends a future contract. He is not costly to cut.

 

[Todd Bradley]

I will say this.

Aren’t we always saying this about (insert AFC East team here) every other year? It ALWAYS seems to never work out for these teams when they bring these guys in.

Ehh, I mean say what you will about the AFCE, but Miami is good for a win against us basically every single year, so something’s working for them.

That’s cute that they can do that, but what’s hovering around 8-8 every year getting them

It’s less to do about them and more about what they do to us.

How does Miami have the cap?

I don't think they're paying a ton for their QB right now.

We have very different definitions of not costly. Sure they can designate him as a post June 1 cut to space it out but at $17m it still won't be a 'cheap' cut. It just looks cheap compared to the cost of keeping him

2018 Cap hit for Tannehill is about $20m right now

A few years too late..

Title should be updated:

Miami just landed the version of Robert Quinn after having back surgery.

 

[VJCPatriot]

Quinn hasn't been a terrific defensive player for 4 years now. This looks like a reclamation project to me. They are hoping he can return to former peak performance levels.

 

[FCB02062]

I saw this thread title and thought it was Bob Quinn, who went from the part to Detroit... Bob Quinn who happened to be on my little league team when I was 12 and he was 10!

 

[Tony2046]

I like how Miami is building their team.
They will have vicious pass rush

Third place team only because the J-E-T-E are in the division.

I don't think they're paying a ton for their QB right now.

Tannehill's cap hits are:

2018 = $19.8M
2019 = $21.05M
2020 = $19.5M

According to OverTheCap, the only bonuses that Suh has coming are the prorated payments on his most recent signing bonus. If they cut him now, they save a net of $3.4M in cap space while shifting $22M into dead money.

They're better off just cutting Wake and Timmons, which would save them a net of about $13M, and then resolve their Landry situation ASAP to get him off that $16.3M Franchise Tag cap hit.

Yeah given those numbers it makes no sense to cut him. Which means at least we dont have to sit through the unavoidable "Suh released, should we get him?" thread.

[stinkypete]

Great move for Miami. Their ceiling is not 8 - 10 wins instead of the typical 7 - 9 wins.

 

[primetime]

I'd take Wake over Quinn at this point.

Dolphins were already over the cap when they traded for Quinn, so they need to unload Landry and others pretty soon.
