LOL So true, FF. I sure hope this year is different, but my expectations are low.

The skins broke the bank for Norman, 5 yrs, 75 mil. We did not have the money AND it could have been spent in MANY other places.

Norman is a helluva corner and I'd love to see him on the Phins...but even if we could afford it, we have too many holes to spend that much on one player. Which is one reason why the Suh deal was a mistake.

Screw that. If he was 25, maybe ,but I still prefer to spend on a pass rush before CB unless that CB can put points on the board like Prime Time or Patrick Peterdon.

The Phins are going to have to do it the old fashioned way; they're going to have to earrrnnnnnn it: In the draft.

Unfortunately, that has been a teensy bit of a weak area for the Phins. Just a smidgen of weakness in the drafting area. A slightly less than stellar effort in draft evaluation. A scosh off on picking players. An iota of....

Gotta disagree on Tannehill. I think it's a brilliantly written contract with several escape hatches built in. Gotta give the team some credit on that one.

Yeah, I agree with Bird. The Tannehill contract is the least of our worries. We can really get out of that one without too much issue. The real problem is, if we have to get out of it, we've got nothing.

UNLESS...they take Lynch at 13 Twisted Evil

Hey, it makes more sense than taking a RB or a LB with a bum knee that high, doesn't it?

DOESN'T IT???
