Let's make an example of Miami. Take away a couple draft picks. Funny how they suspend Igcognito and then sign the most questionable character guy in the league to crazy money.

good

[Mr. Miyagi]

I'm as happy about Miami getting screwed as the next guy. But this whole 3 day negotiating but no offers can be made period is total BS.

Yeah, basically teams were negotiating with players before FA opened anyway, and the NFL just threw their hands in the air.

If you have the 3-day period, why not let them workout a deal? The player is under no obligation to visit other teams or prolong the process. Take Suh. I'm sure many teams reached out to him and talked numbers. Miami made a ridiculous offer and Florida has no state income tax, so it's a no-brainer for him.

p. yeah well me too. if the money is right

Players have been negotiating before FA opened in all professional leagues since it all began. Owners have been tampering too. The only way to get a handle on it is to make an example out of any team caught... cough Dolphins, cough Jets.

shoot, you can make the same case with us and Mario. IIRC, how the f*** do you convince the premier defensive talent in his free agent class to get on a plane with your GM, head coach 2 hours after free agency begins if you didn't somehow tamper with him beforehand?

just saying
