I'm sure he'll end up settling for something like that. It's such a brutal market for RBs anyway, and then you have to factor in that nobody has the cap space this late in FA.

Hard pass if I'm Grier, tbh. Unless he can be had for $10M on a one-year pact, maybe. Even then, though, RB is far from a need and we already have guys on the roster who frankly work better for McDaniel's offense. It's unlikely we would utilize a bell-cow back like the role Dalvin is used to, anyway, so the fit never made a ton of sense outside of the Dolphins being his childhood team. I'd much rather spend our remaining cap space on OL help/depth (especially the interior), if anything. Dalton Risner, Ben Jones, Justin Pugh, A.J. Cann, George Fant, and Gabe Jackson are all still out there unsigned and would likely be substantial upgrades over trotting out Liam Eichenberg or Robert Jones as starters again.

Swampbilly Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 I would be surprised to see us sign anyone to an annual contract worth more than $3mil at this point in Free Agency. If we do sign someone for a big contract then that looks to me like we will be allowing Christian Wilkins to walk in 2024. Also, I think Connor Williams will probably get a new contract although I expect it to be reasonable, maybe $1-$3 mil more annually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tetsujin Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 (edited) One big reason I'd like to sign Cook is because it could be disastrous if NYJ or BUF get him. Edited June 27, 2023 by Tetsujin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swampbilly Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 (edited) Good news!!! Looks like Connor Williams is going to be in camp. I’m guessing his brief non attendance at mandatory mini camp may have been about something other than contract. Often times players fail to attend camps and always claim it’s about their contract. It’s sometimes about them feeling they couldn’t pass a drug test since according to several players, they only get drug tested in camps or the combine unless they have failed one of these tests. Every time I hear of a player not attending camp, especially a player that is coming off of his best season ever, I consider the drug testing possibility. https://dolphinswire.usatoday.com/2023/07/24/connor-williams-to-report-to-dolphins-training-camp/ Edited July 24, 2023 by Swampbilly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brownie man Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 Fantasy Football help I'm in a Keeper league and have pick 1.09 and 2.01 out of a 12 team league What should I be thinking about Achane's future? Is he a 3 down back? Do you think he can be a true starting runningback in the nfl or you all expecting a gadget? Do you think he'll get enough consistent looks for fantasy purposes at his size? I saw a player comparison to Warrick Dunn. Warrick was the last guy that small to have a successful career. Is Achane on that level? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if you are meaning to take Achane in the 1st or 2nd round, but that's way too rich, even in a keeper league. He will hit some home runs, but there aren't any bellcow backs in this offense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampbilly Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 (edited) Looks like Dalvin Cook will be playing for the Jets in 2023. He signed a 1 year deal with $7mil guaranteed and $1.6 mil in incentives. That tells me how little our Front Office actually wanted Dalvin Cook, despite the rumors. $7 Mil to play in NY would probably equate to $6 mil playing in FL with the lack of State Tax. I have no issues with not signing Cook given our OLine problems and need for Cap to bring back Wilkins and possibly extend Tua. Additionally, paying Cook $6-$7 mil a year would be about the same we will pay the 4 RB's we keep active, so it's certainly a quantity over quality thing.

I think I saw a tweet that we never offered more than $4 million. As a FSU fan, I love Dalvin Cook. But the numbers don't lie in that his effectiveness has been trending downhill. He wouldn't provide more value to this team than that. Spend that money on another OL if they pop up, or use it to extend Wilkins. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tetsujin Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 I would've given him 6M. Some of that would've been of been offset with a cut or two in the RB room. Last time we saw him he broke off a 53-yd TD run vs us. I don't wanna play vs him twice a year or have him contribute for our division foe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
