Dolphins TE on the trade block

[Mr. Scot]

In on every deal...

Probably not this one given the expected cost, but certainly a position where we could use a guy.

[TheCasillas]

In all honesty, Id offer a conditional 4th for him. Im sure the Dolphins are looking for a 2nd or 3rd... that's too rich for my blood.

Not a position of dire need, IMO. That said, he is a very dynamic offensive weapon. I'd be curious what the cost is.

[LinvilleGorge]

I'm of the firm opinion that this crew needs to sink or swim this year without trading away future assets.

That's a defendable position.

Pass. He’s a big slot receiver, not really a tight end. Doesn’t make sense with the new offensive line that specializes in the run game.

Guy is going to want to get paid and we’ve already given Ian Thomas a big contract for a TE

I don't want to see them sell the farm, for sure. However, acquiring good assets will only help our future coaching staff.

I would be generally upset to see 1st-3rd round picks traded unless it was a very good player.

I consider TE significantly behind DL, OL and LB in terms of our immediate needs.

I get that we are not a fan of Ian getting a new contract, but in what way is it "big?" He is the 24th highest paid tight end in the league, and only 1.5% of our total cap.

Most receiving TEs are big slot receivers, lest you forget how much Olsen lined up off the line.

Big enough as in you’re not going to pay him that deal And another big TE contract

Pass catching TE would be nasty. We know Ben McAdoo is a fan of pass catching TEs. Mike G is a stud but hes had some wear and tear injuries - nothing to miss major time but some nagging low back stuff thats kept him from being dominant. 

You also gotta pay the man which is likely why he is on the block to begin with - probably starts at a baseline of Hunter Henrys deal of 3 - 37.5. Basically 3 times what we paid Thomas. Do I think hes 3 times better than Thomas? Yes. Does that mean I'm willing to pay 3 times more than Ian Thomas? Ehhhh, that ones a little tougher but if they'd bite on Thomas and a 4th I'd pull the trigger.
