big_palooka Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 I wonder if Reggie lasts another year at this point. Pretty telling what Gruden thought of the roster with the amount of work they've done in FA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordy and Crabtree were basically just trading spots as were Smith-Olawale. Melvin is cheaper than Smith. Whitehead was 1-2 mil more than Patterson. We still have 14-15 mil available. So if we sign Suh that will be the last FA as all the other $ will go towards our rookie cap. We would have to reign Mack with a smaller amount being given to him this year.

I don't think any of these signings are out of character for McKenzie. Remember ho much flack he took for signing veterans during his first couple years?

Yea, that's an extremely optimistic number. We do know of at least one restructure, though: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take 4-5 mil for our rookie pool and I would imagine we have 7-9 mil as of now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t mind the Whitehead signing and like the Melvin signing, but nothing else stands out as exciting up to this point. And we lost 2 playmakers on offense(and special teams) in Patterson, and to a lesser degree Olawale. I just hope our draft goes better than the last couple of years.

Yeah, some of them are missing on both. With sportrac showing $18 mil in cap space I tried to guess with the other moves. We may have even less than what I put in $7-9 mil.

GJT1347 Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Does anyone remember watching a Dolphins MNF game last year (or the year before) where Gruden was highly critical of Suh’s conditioning? I seem to remember Suh sucking wind in the fourth quarter of that game and taking himself out, which lead to the Gruden criticism. It wasn’t our game verses them, but a different one.
