I believe if Jake Long gets healthy this is a huge piece and moves for TE/LT are exactly what they needed and still have two mid level first round draft picks. Seahawks/49ers I know won’t be looking past the Rams because their defense brings the heat. They get something like WR Patterson and LG Womack watch out NFL. I am a fan of division rival team but respect this team unlike 49ers and majority of their fans.

Bradford will quickly learn that games will become Long(er).

He can’t move like he used to and I see more injuries sapping his ability moving forward.

Dolphins are getting rid of the Tunas picks and moving on to playmakers.

Good thing is that Bradford needs all the help he can get. Borderline bust at this point.

Arms back, knees, all problem areas makes you wonder if for the fins it wasn’t time to go younger.

Why would he take less money to uproot his family?”

Yeah, how will he ever feel his family on that kind of cash?

I’s hard to believe Long is healthy. What other reason could there be?

He has had a pile of injuries, so good luck with that. He was looking for too much money in the beginning. He was never worth $11 million.
Sitting on the bench doesn’t help anyone, and last season he wasn’t very good when he did play.
He made a bundle of money when he came into the league, one of the lucky ones.

However, they need some real weapons for Bradford. He lost both of his top receiver, and RB. There’s some decent RB one starter in Bradshaw still in the Market. I’m shocked they’re not in play for Victor Cruz they have the picks and money to do so.

Miami will be in he postseason this year. St Louis will be home again, in 3rd place in their division.

Thanks Jake. Enjoy the BBQ and the money.

He had two or three seasons of dominance but his last two were marred by injury and average-at-best play. Just look at the Colts game from last year. When 100%, he’s a stud, but there’s a good chance he’ll never be 100% again.

My question now becomes: what’s Eric Winston want? There’s a decent chance they could lure in Winston to play right tackle, move Jonathan Martin to the left side, and have enough cash over for one of those fashionable one year “prove it” deals for a pass rusher or a corner like Brent Grimes. If they are able to work out a two for the price of one situation, then it’s a big win.

I would have loved to have him back but only for the right price.

Both not worth that money. Both overpaid especially cook. But Miami overpaid for all of theirs lol. Whatever. Wait until Aldon smith, clemons, Irvin, Bennett, avril line up against long. Bradford better up his insurance

Constantly hurt last 2 years. Last yr he was ranked 42nd or something before injury. Most Miami wanted him out before the season even ended. Vollmer, smith, Winston are all upgrades over long. Jonathan Martin outplayed him at LT last yr. We needed more athleticism anyway. Good luck Jake!
