Swampbilly Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 I wouldn’t be surprised if we are working something out with Cleveland (3 second round picks), Baltimore, Chicago, or Jacksonville. Worst case is a third rounder from one of several teams. I also wouldn’t rule out trading him for a player and / or packaging him and a draft pick to move up a few spots in the upcoming draft.

He'd be great for Bortles, whoever the Browns QB is, Trubisky. His personality fits the Ravens to a T. A ton of teams have cap space and the WR market is drying up. Dolphins would have likely netted a 3rd or so as a compensatory pick if they simply let him walk. That's the floor for success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WindyCity Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 The problem with asking for premium picks is that teams will have to sink a ton of cap space into Landry, even on a long term deal. You are asking teams to invest 2 premium resources into a player. I am a Landry fan, but that is a hard sell for even for a team in desperate need. For example the Bears need WR help, but they could bring in 3 WRs for the cost of Landry Albert Wilson [7 million] Marquise Lee [7 million] James Washington [2-39] Hard to see a team willing to pass on adding those players to add Landry, who is very good, but not really in the elite WR discussion with Julio, Brown and Hopkins.

WindyCity Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 One option I see as possible is if the Dolphins use Landry to swap picks like the Dolphins did with the Eagles in the Wentz year. That way teams are losing value, but not assets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just hope they have a plan. The keep Landry on the tag plan almost has to have a Suh post June 1st cut. That would be the easiest way to get the cap space you need without destroying the future caps. Is there any word on Juwan James health? His money is guaranteed for injury and would be a major wrench in the works. Teams do not often trade premium picks for guys they have to turn around an extend. The rookie deals are too valubale.

DoleINGout Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 What are the chances the Dolphins would have interest in trading Landry for another receiver, like Brandin Cooks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dolphinmeister Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 I think Landry will be traded to the 49ers or the Giants for Miami to move up in the first round and get a QB they think will be the new franchise starter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem with that is if you wait until the draft most teams will not have the cap room to take on Landry and his contract demands. He almost needs to be traded in the next couple of weeks so the Dolphins can function in free agency. Even with the obvious cuts and ignoring signing the draft class it would be about a 12 million dollar budget, which is literally nothing in the market that exists right now. I could see them moving Landry to move up in the next couple of weeks. Landry and 11 to the Bears for 8, would value Landry as a high 3rd round pick and would get the Dolphins closer to the QBs if not where they need to be.

WindyCity Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 The best value the Dolphins will get is this week at the combine. As soon as teams start to spend money and sign WRs the market shrinks. If SF pays Watkins 13-14/season then you can take them off the list of interested teams. If the Bears sign Albert Wilson and Trey Burton as has been rumored you can take them off the list as well. Baltimore needs to make moves to be a FA player and they would need some certainty before March 14th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just logistically you can't have interested teams spending money. You need them full of cap space and worried that they are going to miss on Watkins or Wilson etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They play completely different receiver positions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
