G08 Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 So it sounds like none of ya'll want to lose Landry, am I understanding that correctly? Even with the unsportsmanlike conduct penalties and being an emotional roller coaster? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as others have said, the money just isn't there for him and there are bigger areas of concern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Chicago might be interested in him...we've got a huge need at WR and he can easily soak up 100+ targets from the slot in our new offense.

I've been predicting 5 years, $70m to Chicago for a while, I even posted it in my mock offseason on this subforum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rgossett07 Posted February 15, 2018 Author Share Posted February 15, 2018 There is a way for Miami to play this but it would be very costly in years 3, 4, and 5. Give him a 5 year 70 mil deal. Give him more "Guaranteed Money" but pay him $10mm in years 1 and 2 and back load years 3,4 and 5 when Suh's (and maybe Tannehill) contract comes off the books. The downside to this is it makes releasing Landry impossible due to the dead money late in the contract but I don't see Miami releasing Landry in his age 27, 28 and 29 years. Years 3, 4 and 5 he is getting an average salary of close to $17m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheKillerNacho Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Mixed on this. Glad to hold onto him for now but this is quite pricy considering our cap situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cddolphin Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Quote The Dolphins decided they don’t love Landry enough to keep him longterm but can’t bear the thought of letting him go without compensation. So they split the baby. They rented Landry with this tag. My problem is when you’re renting with that franchise tag, you’re paying as if you’re moving into the White House without actually getting the awesome accommodations. And the move has repercussions. This move schedules Landry as the third-highest cap hit on the team for 2018. He will cost approximately nine percent of the Dolphins’ total salary cap. http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/spt-columns-blogs/armando-salguero/article201250529.html Can't agree more. Don't get it. Hope I'm proven wrong and it works out well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I realize the tag can be rescinded if they can't trade him, but they can't honestly think someone is giving up more than a late 3rd rounder for him, can they? Fins would easily get a 3rd round compensation pick for Landry when he inevitably signs elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing I can think of, is they know for sure a few teams have heavy interest (the FA WR market is meh) and they can get a 2nd. OR they want to control where he ends up, i.e. not in NE or in the AFC or whatever. I would have more faith if recent free agency moves weren't so.. bad.

ericsvibe Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 The rumor mill is spinning like crazy right now. The most logical rumor so far. The Ravens did try to trade for Landry last season, rumor is they offered two picks, most likely a 2nd and a pick based on performance. The Dolphins felt that Tanny was coming back, so they didn't take the trade. Fast forward to this year, and multiple Ravens players have reached out to Landry, trying to get him to sign there. The Dolphins now want the picks offered last year, and are trying to get the Ravens to make the same offer. If they can't trade him, they will eat the cap hit by purging some veterans.
