Final week I mentioned the state of affairs surrounding Jonathan Taylor and the way the Miami Dolphins have been seeking to commerce for the star Indianapolis Colts operating again. As I write this submit I understand that there’s the likelihood that the information that we’ve both traded for Taylor or determined to maneuver ahead with out him might break earlier than this auto posts however it’s what it’s. So final week’s query was, “Ought to our Miami Dolphins go forward and pull the set off on a commerce for Jonathan Taylor? In case your reply is sure what’s your restrict on compensation to be despatched again to the Colts (the Colts are rumored to need not less than a first-round choose)?”
Beneath are a few of your solutions and ideas on the subject-
Dolfan88 is bored with each free star participant being rumored to be on his strategy to the 305!
I’ve misplaced monitor if what number of positive issues the media and followers mentioned have been coming to the Fins, D Watson, Lamar Jackson, Prepare dinner, Rogers, now Taylor,….. and the listing goes on and on. Why don’t we wait until the crew makes the announcement earlier than we get all overvalued?
daytonadolfan is proud of the roster how it’s!
Night, and we acquired sufficient. No sense rocking the boat at this late date.
scrwal has some ideas on Wilkins and is in on including a stable younger expertise to the roster!
What’s the timeframe for achievement? If it’s the subsequent two years then Wilkins performs on the fifth yr extension and will get franchise tagged the next yr. Will this upset him, most likely, however we received’t be tied right into a long-term deal and if there isn’t a success then there could be one other reset if we win the Superbowl would Wilkins stroll if he was given a wise deal in two years’ time? Getting a younger good again improves the possibility of success so if the price of the contract and draft picks/ gamers traded are acceptable you then seal the deal now.
Molly Polly II thinks that we have to lengthen Wilkins earlier than going all in on one other offensive weapon.
Not satisfied Taylor is a participant we have to pursue particularly when we’ve not resigned Wilkins. For my part, if we have been going to pursue a commerce it could be the OL place. . With that mentioned I have to admit, from what I’m seeing in preseason our Oline taking part in higher than previously….so possibly the coaches really feel safe with the present roster. The subject is Taylor, we merely don’t have a necessity for him. Our Oline units the tone we’ve nice gamers to get the JOB DONE!
jmworacle is, I assume, stating the identical factor as Molly Polly II about Wilkins.
Care for your personal.
Elzabar1527 is on the no bus!
I voted no for the next causes: 1. JT needs out of Indy trigger he needs a bag. How can we even afford him after we can’t even pay Wilkins or Williams? It will set a foul priority and bucking a pattern that has thus far been prevented. No crew needs to pay big cash for an RB after we can get the identical outcomes from the committee in Ahmed, Gaskins, and Brooks. 2. We have already got a full secure of dependable high quality RBs. We already wrestle to determine who we’re gonna drop. We didn’t overreach for Prepare dinner why ought to we do it for JT? Getting JT is much like leaving your secure spouse and children to stay with an costly ‘ho. 3. Why commerce away worthwhile belongings that we painstakingly acquired for a pleasant to have? Does Indy actually need CW and/or Ahmed and Gaskins in alternate for JT?
Blaze453 thinks that he may cost an excessive amount of however would make the roster higher.
Taylor would undoubtedly make us higher. If it was a one-year rental at the price of say, Cedrick Wilson and Jeff Wilson, I’m all in. If it’s given to drop compensation, no. What all people wants to know is that if we make a commerce giving up vital compensation the one means it could be value it’s if we may lengthen him at an affordable value in comparison with the present state of the RB market, however having been placed on the franchise tag the time restrict to increase him has handed. This implies you can’t lengthen him till, I imagine the beginning of the 2024 NFL yr. So we take the danger (and provides him all of the leverage (contemplating the compensation given in commerce)) that he won’t lengthen or we must overpay contemplating the present state of the RB market.
62Lou says sure and has a few different phrases about issues.
Wilkins is a superb participant and deserves a brand new contract…BUT… He has NOT moved the “playoff win” needle ONE LITTLE bit. I say go get RB Taylor – If you may get him for a second spherical and not more than 12 million per yr. Make Wilkins wait till subsequent yr whenever you do away with Ogbah, Baker, the kicker, Ced Wilson, and possibly X Howard. DO YOU WANT TO ACTUALLY WIN A SB ? As a result of this roster IS NOT A TOP 5 like some have mentioned. RB Taylor would give us a HUGE benefit paired with our velocity at WR and barely above-average QB…In December when that you must run the dam ball on third and a pair of – Taylor will get it carried out… our present backs are a bit above common that’s all. TAYLOR is 24 folks…In 3 years he rushed for 3,841 yards at 5.1 yards per carry (lacking 6 video games final yr). He has caught 104 balls for an additional 802 yards… In his large yr 1,811 yards speeding earlier than final yr’s harm. The man is a TOP PRO BOWL RB. He provides energy to this offense at 226 kilos with velocity (ran 4:40, and 4:41 on the mix) He would take all of the strain off Tua and open up the offense to a different stage. Lastly – Stop pondering the present Offense Is Tremendous Bowl prepared – IT IS NOT. We had the twenty fifth rush offense within the league …and solely scored 23.4 factors per sport…That may NOT win a SB. However taking part in the -Bengals, Chiefs, Payments, or Ravens, in an in depth playoff sport, TAYLOR can put the sport away operating within the 4th…He would give us the BEST RB of these playoff contenders – paired with the BEST WR…! Don’t child your self – Tua can’t beat all of these QBs with out extra assist. It’s a must to beat not less than 2 to get to the SB.
TheRoo1 is in on sending some gamers and picks for a man that’s nonetheless in his prime.
Wouldn’t say NO, If he’s decided to maneuver on from Indy, they usually have accepted the necessity, a commerce might be attainable. Taking a look at Indy’s wants, they signed Kenyan Drake and Zack Moss as JT’s backups. Wilson would turn into their #1. Pittman is an effective WR, however after him, they’ve McKenzie or Breshard Perriman because the #2, C Wilson arguably could be a step up from both, and provides their Rookie QB some savvy assist in his yr one. With a 4th and even fifth draft choose thrown in, and realizing they may lose JT subsequent yr, this turns into an excellent transfer for them. And if for $10-$14 mill we get two high years from JT for less than a bit greater than what the Wilsons would value us,
Dwadeshouse is one other no!
No for me. I do not need to quit a 1st or 2nd and pay an RB circa $15M pa. Taylor would have all of the leverage when you commerce a excessive choose. If it might be carried out for a fringe participant and a mid-round choose, I’d gladly change my thoughts, however I do not see why Indy would try this. Fwiw, in case you are prepared to surrender a 1st or 2nd and circa $15M a yr. I might go get the perfect LG or RT that cash may purchase. Our RBs are adequate for those who create the gaps and decide to the run extra usually and retaining Tua wholesome is evidently our greatest likelihood of profitable anyway.
Nicely, we do not all agree however that’s what drives this website, debate! Thanks as at all times to everybody that took the time to reply the query and provides us their ideas.
