The fins taking no prisoners to win the division.  Beane needs to strike back quick, with a monster deal to top that.

 

Better sign Ritchie now ;)

Now all they need is to bring Richie incognito back home to Miami as Wilson’s veteran mentor. It’s the circle of life ... *elton John voice*

 

But we need Ritchie to achieve nuclear parity with the Phins ;)

Sewell is a questionable top OT per Daniel Jeremiah who rank one better media draftniks. That said I'm not a Tua fan and if I'm Miami I pounce on Fields if the Jets take the kid from BYU.

I don’t think Fields is a top 15 pick.  Maybe not even first round, depending on how things shake out.

I suppose I'm the only person rooting for the kid.  Maybe he grows up.

 

He played  for The Tians and now plays for the Phins...we need him to be Cyrus Kouandjio ;)

Bizarre trade all around. Miami is stuck with paying $4.5m of Wilson’s guaranteed salary over the next 3 years.  Titans are off the hook for that $4.5m but take an extra cap hit of $1.85m this year by trading him because of dead cap from his signing bonus.  Titans now have only $8m in cap space.  

Obviously, the Phins scouted Wilson last year and liked some things about him.  The Titans have generally drafted very well and they liked him as a late first rounder, so he has to have some talent...

He got the money and forgot what got him the money.

 

Sometimes they can't see the big picture......at least play great until you really break the bank on the second deal ;)

Some might argue that making many millions of dollars IS in fact breaking the bank. 

 

I sure would. (Not dozens of millions, like some other NFLers rake in, but certainly enough to grow lifelong wealth).

This could be a great pick up for them if he gets his head straight. 

 

The Titans are a good organization and have made the playoffs the past few years.  If he couldn't get his head on straight for them...

Sewell, Slater, whoever - if they had an OT at BPA there this move should not preclude that pick. They will not have any idea what they will get out of Wilson prior to the draft.

Not sure how anyone can criticize this. Dude is an idiot and one of the biggest busts ever but this is no risk. The Fins just to to him and saw we don’t give a crap where you were drafted. You are basically a 7th rounder. You don’t play well or do anything dumb, you are gone and will have the rest of your life to party because you will be done in the nfl.

 

love this type of moves provided the guy is not an abuser or killed someone.

I could see it if the Titans were a bad organization and team.  Or if he were going somewhere that isn't the party capital of the US.

They traded nothing for a 1st round talent. I would have zero problem If this bills did this. You just cut him. If anything, the Titans should have just held on to him.

Me either, but I think the Titans giving up on only 4 snaps is pretty telling that they dont think he is redeemable. I'd be surprised if he makes it out of camp

Oh, I have no problem with the trade.  I said it was low risk.  But I also said it would likely be low reward.

This.  They basically threw away a 1st round pick from last year and took a cap hit instead of trying to make it work.

Welp, thought it was a good low risk move. Talk about ruining your life. I will feel better about every bad decisions I make this weekend because at least I’m not on isiah Wilson’s level of blowing millions of dollars. 
 

either this dude doesn’t like football or needs some serious mental health.

First time I will ever say it. You were right Doc. 😉 

 

but that’s why you do a trade like that. You didn’t invest a first in him so you don’t put up with any of his nonsense. I can’t bleed d how big of a moron you have to be to get cut after 2 weeks though haha.

Wow. Crazy. He’s going to be out of the NFL completely very soon, if he’s not already.

 

Sad. One day he’s going to look back with an awful lot of regret.

He doesn’t sound smart enough to look back on anything, to use it to learn something...,

 

What was that line from caddy shack...? Ah yes,  “the world needs ditch diggers too...”

Maybe. You could be right. I don’t know enough about him to say.

 

I do know that I did some really dumb **** I didn’t even think twice about when I was his age, but I would change it in a heartbeat looking back now.

 

anyway.... I just meant it’s sad to see someone throwing his life away, for whatever reason.

I cannot imagine being given this opportunity and blowing it so badly. I dreamt of playing in the NFL and took every chance to improve and be coached so seriously. I was not naturally gifted like him, so it drives me nuts to see talent wasted due to stupid decisions and a lack of effort and respect. The kid obviously needs help.

That’s a $5m dead cap hit for a team that only had $11m in cap space.  Awful trade.  

I disagree. We love this trade!!

That is the truth, opportunities on that scale don’t happen very often, I too have made a poor choice or two as a young adult, but never to the tune of millions of dollars especially after getting a second chance at said millions of dollars, sadly some of our fellow Americans never get it, as it were. Sounds a lot like to much alcohol and drugs over to long a period of time, it causes changes in the human brain, and not for the good.

As a 1st rounder, his entire contract was guaranteed.  So if he somehow gets it together and gets another chance in the next 3 years, he’ll unbelievably make more money than he would’ve if he played out his  rookie contract the next 3 years 

 

Almost all of it was ("just" $1.09M of his 2023 salary).  And if he somehow gets signed by another team (doubtful), he'll be signed for the minimum and likely fail to make a roster.

Nor would they. Similar to a guy like Henderson in our past- you didn’t change your board in assuming he’d reach his potential but if he can contribute some viable snaps cheap it’s like found money at the bottom of your 53.

Dareus was an all pro and got a huge contract. Not comparable in the slightest.

Nope haha. But they swapped 7th rounders? I still don’t mind that gamble. Dude is an all time idiot though.
