Brady to Tampa.

 

Woah

 

Jets to sign a fit, healthy and versatile O-line player (Connor McGovern)

Hopefully he stays that way

As for Brady, Bucs makes sense, stay on the East Coast, lots of salary cap room, avoids the AFC. They already have a number 12 though... pick a new number poster boy

 

Surely the Bears getting Foles mean the end of Trusbisky as a starter?

 

Fixed.

 

True

 

Sean Payton come out and said he has coronavirus.

Had it since early this week apparently.

 

The Dolphins sign Ereck Flowers on a $30 million 3 year deal with $19.5 million guaranteed, that’s a lot of dosh for an average LG imo.

 

They are making some good moves though!

 

This has been a wild free agency.

Hopkins - Johnson Trade.
Brady leaving.
Gurley released.

At one point or another, the best QB, RB and WR in the league.

 

Yeah that cap room is coming in handy, the free agents signed backed up with our draft picks have me a bit more optimistic for the season. But it’s the Dolphins so not to optimistic.

 

Hope he stays fit and has a great season. Really not keen on the Rams since their move to LA.

 

I wouldn't be surprised if Gurley's move to Atlanta never happens.

The Rams loved Todd Gurley. They wanted him to be one of the faces of their franchise as they move into their new stadium. Instead of that, they have cut him and taken an enormous cap hit in the process. It seems clear that their medical staff have assessed his knee over a long period of time and reached the conclusion that he is finished as a lead back in the NFL.

Which brings us back to the Falcons. They haven't had the opportunity yet to put Gurley through a medical. So they haven't yet had a close look at that knee. Are they really going to come to a completely different conclusion to the one the Rams did? It just seems unlikely. If they've signed Gurley without him having to complete a medical then they are idiots.

Personally I think Gurley's finished. Some of his explosion is gone and it's not coming back. An arthritic knee is not something you just get over. It's a problem for life.

 

Full virtual draft, I really am torn on whether the Dolphins should take Tua if he’s available at 5. I certainly wouldn’t be trading up for him with his injury record.

I think they would be crazy to pass on Tua. If Tua ends at someone like the Chargers and does well then Miami will get absolutely slaughtered for passing on Tua.

 

Yeah if he’s available then it’s a no brainer, but if trading up I would go the full way for Burrow. He is the most day 1 ready QB in the draft imo, I still think Chase Young is the overall number 1 pick though tbh. The boy is an absolute monster of an athlete.

 

Bengals won't pass on Burrow that's a done deal he's going number 1 in draft no question. Chase Young will go 2 to the Redskins I agree he might well be the best in the draft. I hope see a twist and turn early and shock some rumours that the Pats are going to try and get Tua somehow but I think probably fake news. I thinks it between Chargers and Dolphins and I doubt Dolphins will pass up on Tua.

 

I hope Tua does goes to Dolphins, it be * for a talent like that to play in front on a tiny Chargers support and away fans in the home end.

 

We have made some really decent free agent signings and have 14 draft picks . If they * this rebuild up then there really is no hope anymore tbh, I also can’t believe fans wanted Flores sacked. What he got out of that roster was nothing short of a miracle imo. This is well worth a watch.

 

I wouldn't say it's a no brainer. Some people are speculating that the Dolphins now prefer Justin Herbert and Chris Simms is currently rating Herbert as the better prospect of the two. I haven't seen either of them play but I do respect the opinion of Chris Simms.

If the Dolphins have any sense they will pick the player they believe in the most. You can't pick Tua just because you're scared of the backlash if he turns into a star somewhere else. That's what losing franchises do.
