That said this was a dumb move for Miami. Taking the risk of absorbing another huge ego on the team. With Berrios playing well in the slot already and there still only being 1 ball to get spread around...just not worth the risk IMO. But Miami just loves collecting "big names" for no benefit. I don’t understand how they are going to afford him,Hill, and Waddle and extend Tua. Also why? Barrios was doing fine as a third option. Also how does this fox the D that was torched by the Bills and probably any good O that faces them? Weird 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jauronimo Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 Great trade. Miami is the perfect place for Claypool to get away from the other crap and focus on football. Too many distractions in Pittsburgh. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Character doesn’t matter to a team like the Chiefs who have two championships in recent years. Why not test your luck? In the end Maholms and Reid are the reason the Chiefs win and if the Dolphins do it will be Tua and McDaniels. Not every move has worked when the Chiefs take these type of moves either. I genuinely am curious if the Chiefs would have made the trade for Toney for a 3rd today? I know many on here were up in arms that the Bills didn't make that move last October and Beane looks correct today. We'll see if a 3rd change in coaching helps Claypool he has had a few flashes on the field and some troubling actions on and off it. I don't see WR as a need for Buffalo now especially not since they have to pay 2mil of Claypools salary and not a culture fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This solves nothing for them. Just a move to make a move really. But we have seen this from Miami for years and years. Saw some speculation that because of his size they may view him as a Deebo type. And that would be magnificent...take the ball out of Tua and Achane's hands as much as possible. I like that...for us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ngbills Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 Not a bad move. He is a bigger threat that MIA does not have. He comes basically free and there is no future money on the hook. If he is a problem you just cut him. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gonzo1105 Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 I'm guessing because they want a WR with size considering most of their WR's are smaller. My question is how much and if he plays a significant role who is he taking reps from. They have Hill, Waddle, Achane is playing kind of a hybrid RB/WR right now and lines up in the slot a lot, and Berrios. I suppose Waddle and Claypool outside with Hill,Achane, Berrios playing the slot spots with Mostert and Wilson getting RB reps. Just sounds like their going to have a hard time getting everyone the amount of reps they want. Plus Claypool is a bust but going to an explosive offense might reinvigorate him a bit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought he was going to be a star, hasn’t done crap since his rookie year and must be a problem in the lockerroom. but on paper, he fills a need for them and that nerd is a great play caller. I always like the mindset of never stop improving your team, especially with former high picks. Your the only one that seems to get it apparently. IF… this coaching staff is so amazing. And we trust them so much. We shouldn’t have a problem with taking a shot on the guy. Besides, trading a 6th round pick for a 7th round pick is practically nothing. Not to mention it would be a really late 6th rounder for a very early 7th rounder. You absolutely take a shot to see what you can get out of him. And if he doesn’t work out, or starts to be a problem in the locker room, you send him away. Hell, could just leave him at the airport in London and have him find his own way back. 20 minutes ago, starrymessenger said: I'm with the second part of you.
