Aren't they also giving up a future pick?

Yeah, probably like a 2021 7th that is conditional to be honest. I wouldn't be surprised if it's conditional on Talib playing for them or signing an extension, neither of which is likely to happen. The RAms say they expect it, so maybe it's something super easy to hit or something, but I'd be somewhat surprised since there is really no reason for the Dolphins to do it, unless they "promised" the Rams that they would (if it was something like Talib playing this year)

Since he's on IR, not really a problem anyway. They likely may not even take him off IR at any point of the season. The Dolphins are essentially buying a draft pick from the Rams. 

This.

I think something happened with Talib and Peters. I think they had enough of wade and maybe even weddle. They just didn’t fit and the rams quickly removed them from the team. These trades set a narrative and it could be very flammable. Snead has cut Jamon Brown who was a decent starter, traded Quinn who was a locker room guy. And made some moves in trading for Talib and Peters. But hey he’s making stuff happen.. Just need to show some loyalty to the squad and not make every guy seem replaceable.. 

 

MIAMI

NATION STAND THE HELL UP.. 

 

also, did Talib have another year? I was under the impression that this was his last year. Not sure how trading him helps.

It gives us more cap space to roll over into next year to use for extensions and free agents then. It's also one less person to worry about activating off IR. And yeah he's a free agent this off season.

Correct. More or less about the roll over the Rams can now add to next year.

Ah didn’t know roll over was a thing. So it seems like Stan wants to make no money as usually what’s left of the cap space goes into the owners pocets. So stan is dead serious about building a contender, which is why we have so much money to spend. He’s keeping 0 money.

You can say a lot about Stan but the Rams pay coaches and front office well and have more assistant coaches than almost any team. And they're never in danger of not spending cap space :)

The trade is good for both teams. We give the Rams cap relief and lets them have more space next year, and we get a 5th round pick out it and he becomes a FA next year. 

Honestly what the dolphins are doing is so smart. They’re going the Sam Hinkie route!

Dude has so much money he doesn’t even need it. Man it feels good though. Deep pockets. Once we get out the Gurley deal we’ll be Gucci. Love how this is becoming Jared’s team. Just a shame Gurley was robbed of a HOF career. Dude was headed for greatness.
