Mike Wallace on the trading block - Jason La Confora

[hepcat]

Not with that contract - even worse than Desean Jackson!  No way he gets traded.

[stirs]

But I bet their fan base rejoiced at his signing, as if they were "doing something"

Dolphins look to trade Mike Wallace, rehabilitate Richie Incognito, make Daniel Thomas and Lamar Miller suck less, give up on Ryan Tannehill in favor of Matt Moore, and extend Ray Finkle's contract.

2 firsts should get it done. Go Gettleman!

For those that think our free agent taste is dry, aren't you at least glad we aren't that type of franchise that signs guys stupid money the first week of FA, and then regret it immediately? This is what happens if you partake in the first week of FA 90% of the time. Just the best thing that could happen to a team like us with already little cap!!

[Smith vs Lucas]

I honestly believe the whole league is taking a look at Seatle's blueprint. I know everyone is saying this is a passing league, but for $17.3m cap hit you can buy a lot of defense. Last time I checked, defense wins championships.

They're either going to have to cut him or keep him and deal with it.  I said when he signed last year that he wasn't worth the money, nor was he a true #1 WR. 

 

"Buh, buh, buh, tht's y theyere NFL execs & wee're jsut meager fansz herpderp."

 

 

According to overthecap.com, if they cut him this year they'd have $23,800,000 of dead money and take a $6,550,000 cap hit.

I know sarcasm doesn't translate very well over the Internet, but I'm really hoping that's what this is...

I'm also reading that another $3m of his 2015 base salary was recently guaranteed, so while his cap hit this season is $17.25m the cost to cut him is $26.8m. Sheesh. At least if they trade him they only take a hit of $8.8m, but I don't see anyone taking on a fully-guaranteed $15m contract (and that's just this season).

I miss the pre- free agency era in the NFL, where most of the players played for the love of the game and were loyal to their team, while still making a great living playing a game.

It seems now that a majority of players are hired guns, only caring about the millions.

Welcome to the continual world of suck, dolphins.

[PhillyB]

lol what an absolute joke

[philp]

what a dumb contract from the dolphins.  even without the off-field stuff, not worth THAT much money.  people are going to sing gettlemen's praises in about two years.
