DreamKid Posted March 7, 2018 Author Share Posted March 7, 2018 Wonder who that team is? Our boy Ozzie ain't blinking during his last ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coordinator0 Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 Yeah, I split some posts into this new topic. It's big enough to have it's own thread. Sounds like this situation could be heating up. With free agency about to start I imagine if Baltimore wanted Landry they're going to make a move real soon. With their limited cap space it's either acquire Jarvis or go a completely different route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamKid Posted March 8, 2018 Author Share Posted March 8, 2018 I'm guessing the team's thought process could be, Landry is better than any WR we could pick in the 2nd round and he's the perfect foundation to begin rebuilding this positional group around. We might be losing our 2nd round pick :(. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drd23 Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 I could be wrong, but "nothing imminent" is bad news for the Dolphins. IIRC the Phins need to trade him to get under the cap by close of business on March 14. Maybe we're playing hardball to get the asking price down with Miami?

Miami has to realize that they’re likely not going to get anything more than a 3rd round pick out of this. Most they might see is a 3rd this season and a 4th next year or something. But teams already have to commit that much for Landry and now they’re asking for draft pick compensation too. Anything a third and above would provide them with more compensation than they would’ve gotten via a compensatory selection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coordinator0 Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 I just want to leave this here: http://www.nfl.com/combine/profiles/jarvis-landry?id=2543488 And yes, I would still like to see the Ravens get Landry if they don't have to give up a ton.

DreamKid Posted March 9, 2018 Author Share Posted March 9, 2018 I made the mistake of actually looking into just how good Landry is and boy was that a mistake. He would bring what Boldin brought to this team but at a whole other level, he's a special player. The prospect of not getting him was easier when I, like most people, thought he was just a soon to be overpaid slot receiver. I don't want to give up a second because it's too valuable of a pick and a third is harder to give up in this draft because I view that as Ian Thomas's punched in ticket to this team. A 4th and a player would be ideal for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DreamKid Posted March 9, 2018 Author Share Posted March 9, 2018 The Dolphins got greedy and now they might pay for it. They pissed off Landry and now they'll either have to eat the 16 mill cap hit with a disgruntled player, or accept lesser compensation than they could've got to get him off the books. The catch is though, he still has to agree to a deal with the team he would be traded to, which makes it even harder for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mancunian Raven Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Offer them a 4th round pick. If they're desperate to move that cap hit, they should take it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would've been a good player for us, but so will that 3rd round pick, next years 4th, and the players that 14 mill can get us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we signed him, I would've been fine with it. On the other hand, not spending that money in one guy is a little weight off the mind. Let's try and grab Jimmy Graham, draft Ridley, Moore or Sutton. Grab a free agent WR like a Moncrief or possibly Cobb if released. Maybe even a mid round WR too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 3rd round picks like Wormley and kaufuasi, Tim williams?? If they lost out because they didn't want to give up a 3rd, I'm gonna be pretty po'd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
