The two teams also would be swapping first-round picks in the deal with the Eagles getting the Dolphins' No. 8 overall pick and Miami moving back to No. 13. It was pure highway robbery by Eagles GM Howie Roseman just to get Dolphins czar Mike Tannenbaum to take the contracts of Maxwell and Alonso, let alone moving up in the first round. It appears after a couple days of thought that Tannenbaum is possibly smartening up and getting out of this one. The reason the deal is on life support is allegedly the Dolphins' concern with Maxwell's shoulder.

You know I've been thinking lately " WTF is Miami doing? They seem completely brainless" And now in the bold, everything makes sense. That guy is a complete clown

I think not making the trade is a good thing for Miami. Alonzo is injury prone and Maxwell didn't live up to the hype in Philly.

It still baffles me that after the long history of free agency misfires and giving away picks by our team (which was well documented by the media); other teams don't learn from our mistakes.

Its a very good thing...but still even to first agree in principle was a head scractcher for sure. They were going to give up a top 10 pick and move back with that deal....what!!!!

They gave Mario Williams 2 year deal with like 8-9 million per. That's cray to me.

what's crazier is that they're replacing a younger guy that played well with an older guy that was terrible last year... and has rumors floating about his lack of effort. if you think MW is going to produce at pre 2015 levels, the money is right, but because 2015 happened, there should be a discount. guess they got impatient.


as far as other signings, i think the giants got JPP on a pretty good deal. from what i heard 10.5m is the cap, and that means he's played well and stayed on the field all year. the cb contract seems like it's too much money for a guy that's a #1 cb, but not a great one. if you want a corner though, there's not much out there.


bad news for us, williams (DT) is staying in SF. he's one of the 3 big FAs i'd be good with signing.
