Re: Miami making moves
Throw in the Jets and it's 6.
Not that the Jets will be any good- they're as big a disaster as we are. But we just can't seem to win within the division and that doesn't look like it's changing anytime soon.

Re: Miami making moves
So long as we do it right this time I'm willing to take the medicine. As for the Fins, they may be able to compete for a Wild Card if Tannehill has a halfway decent season. I still think we get one from the Jets... having Pettine's knowledge of them should be enough for that much.

Ellerbe, Wheeler and Wallace? Between them and the Pats I think we can chalk up 4 losses next year.

Tannehill is no Roethliburger in escaping pressure from what I remember last year also it appears they aren't going to re-sign Reggie Bush who was a good safety blanket. I agree their defense might be improved but Ellerbe wasn't a great coverage LB with the Ravens and Wheeler's alwaus played in a 4-3 as a pro so no guarantee he'll succeed in a 3-4.

Salary cap league.
Every player that gets overpaid comes at the opportunity cost of getting other players and having a more complete roster.
I never thought I'd have to spell that out. I thought it was rather obvious.

Re: Miami making moves
OP
There is now a sakery cap floor... Thank god! In any case teams have to spend the money that being said I strongly prefer Wallace at $11M/yr than Gibson & McFumbles at $10M/yr! This is the problem with the Bills they let good players go, then they try replace them with marginal players. The results are obvious.
Levitre @ 7.8M/yr is a better investment than McFumbles @ 5M/yr. if Bills pay Gibson anything close to Heartline Money ($5/yr) they deserve every loss they get over the next 5 years.Please Make Sense

Re: Miami making moves
Yes it is nice to see the Dolphins agressive this year in trying to improve the team, Will it work? who knows, but the past few offseasons have been littered with letting good free agents pass by, while signing mediocre ones that turned out to do nothing. Yes we paid alot for Wallace, but if we make the playoffs or win the super bowl, it will be worth it. This is the first offseason in a while where we have good tools to try and improve the team, and not having to search for a QB.

Re: Miami making moves
The Fins are currently trying to get Public funding for a $400 million upgrade their stadium. As long as the excitement last till opening day, thats all they really care about.
Also a funny article here about Wheeler
"As Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald points out, the Dolphins brought in linebacker Philip Wheeler on a free agent visit March 24, 2012.
They didn’t sign him then, and he ended up with the Raiders, inking a one-year deal that paid him $700,000.
Tuesday, the Dolphins gave him a five-year deal worth $26 million.
The same personnel department and coaching staff which evaluated Wheeler last year and decided he wasn’t worth throwing a million bucks at made the decision to give him many more this year.
Wheeler just got a lot better last season, apparently. It remains to be seen whether the Dolphins’ decision-making process did."
