I've seen such brilliant Miami capologists like WCoastFin thumbing their noses at the Bills for their inability to sign Mike Williams- well- TC is now in full swing and ther Bills signed all 10 picks- while Miami, with a measley 5 picks can't sign their top pick, 3rd rounder Seth McKinney.
I think the fish are on the verge of cap collapse.
