Dorsey said from day 1 he's building through the draft, so next year we need to see guys like Conley, Nelson, Ford, Wilson, March etc step up so we don't need FA's. The biggest problem I had with 2014 was Dorsey didn't draft someone to help that year. Ford was an obvious project who barely played. I'm fine with smaller deals in FA as long as we draft like last year. I want guys like Marcus Peters and Mitch Morse's to come in and help immediately. Big reason we were successful last year was bc of young guys like Fulton, Morse, Fisher, Kelce, LDT and Howard being developed and on the cheap at that. Gotta continue that player development. |

There were reports that the Dolphins were thinking about going after Brandon Marshall, guess they found another option in Alonso. |

easier to get FA help for a win now team than it is landing a Marcus Peters in the draft every year.
If it was that easy then the same franchises wouldnt be drafting in the top 10 every year whiffing on mostly busts. |

I've said all along that I believe that replacing Howard and Smith will be much more difficult than replacing Berry but Dorsey obviously chose a different tact.
I'll be surprised is Howard gets Derek Wolfe and/or Malik Jackson money. |

We took Dee Ford and had no plans to get him on the field in 2014. I don't want to do that in the first round anymore. |

Depends.
My guess is they'll cave and give Berry what his guys are demanding. We'll find out when/if the contract is signed, but I'm betting his representation is asking for more than Thomas and when all is said and done, that's what he'll get. So if you were bluffing and got called, you should've offered him the deal you'll likely end up offering him now anyway, get it done and freed up the tag. Now if Berry ends up signing an okay deal to stay here long-term (say, 3rd in AAV among safeties?), it means that Dorsey won the standoff....but was it a Pyrrhic victory? Will he give back any money he 'saved' by now having to work in the open market to re-sign or replace Smith?

But I think we lose anybody that hits the open market. And at this point, if you're not under contract, why wouldn't you test the market? No sense in blowing your wad now when you've held out this long - go see what the market will support and with the flood of cash out there, you'll be better for it.

wonder what FA scrap heap CB Dorsey signs to replace Smith. CB is really thin, mostly garbage, if Dorsey turns one of these turds into a gem he will be the best GM.

Gaines is probably Smith's replacement at the end of the day though, and I'm fine with that as long as we get somebody else like Lane for insurance. |
