Dolphins caved in and gave Howard a new contract


Recommended Posts

Makes sense.

 

This is the target year for Miami to start to open the window.  Where Playoffs are the floor and Division Title the ceiling.

 

Everybody needs to be on the same page traveling in the same direction.

 

Now…they have everyone onboard.  Tua looks good to great in Camp.  Confidence and energy and buy in are high.

 

Time for them to go after it now without any nagging issues.

If Howard goes full board and is a true locker room leader you might be correct. I don't know enough about the Phins locker room but I have a hard time believing he is that guy based on his whining.

It’s believed to be the first time in NFL history a player with four years left on his deal has received added money and guarantees.

 

Well it certainly won't be the last.....................now.

 

Thanks Dolphins.

 

Yes every team will be want to be fools like them.

 

Lemmings.

He is their type of leader - he leads in whining!

This is the kind of thing I was worried about for Diggs when we first traded for him and I’m very happy to be wrong 

 

Sometimes WHAT you do (wanting more money) is not the problem as much HOW you do it (publicly vs behind closed doors). I think Diggs should be and will be taken care of with a new deal, and I’ll be that much happier to see it because he’s been a positive influence and a “process guy”. I too was a little concerned based upon reputation, but so far so good and I’m thrilled!

I don’t mind that athletes sometimes cut through all the romanticism and look at themselves truthfully.  Solely as a product.  No different then ketchup, gasoline or shaving cream.

And each product has a cost/value in the market place.

From what I've read on Pro Football Talk, it seems more like a "Howard save face deal".


Seems that way, can’t blame the Fins for really not giving up much to keep one of their best players happy. Howard got something but at least gets to say the organization values him.

While not a major move how is any increase with FOUR YEARS left on the contract not be considered an unequivocal victory for him?

Good post. @Beast, you really should justify your sneering response. CBs are arguably more valuable than DEs in Today’s NFL (at least according to most analytics).

Arguably one of the best CBs in the league last season. What’s your empirical argument?

Yeah, ***** him.   I would have made him play and traded him the moment it hurt the cap the least.  I wouldn’t want someone like that on my team.

You flipped my view of siding with Howard when all this started. The Van Noy getting cut and other similar cuts/trades, that Howard s plea made sense... and I agreed, then you left me on this boat alone 😆 WFT broooo

It's a bad precedent when owners let the tail wag the dog.  I would hate to see the NFL end up like the NBA, where players dictate where they go and who they play with.

 

There are obviously times when a player deserves more.  But this particular situation is friggin' nuts.

I hope Josh burns his a$$ for 3 TD’s week two !!!

I thought you were laughing at the poster for saying that the restructuring of Howard's contract made sense. Howard is a really good player at a key position!

 I read that list, for me it lost any credibility after the first 10, he claims Richard Sherman is the 11th best CB in the NFL, what a joke.

Is this sarcasm or has Tua in fact looked "good to great"?

 

I am firmly in the camp that Tua will be at best a mediocre NFL starting NFL qb.
