2018 NFL Offseason Thread -- Philadelphia Burning Edition

IF a ball is fumbled - in play- and then the ball goes into the end zone and is recovered-by the same team, the ball is placed at the spot of the fumble(you cannot fumble forward into the end zone if i remember the rules correctly) if the ball is fumbled and goes OOB thru the end zone...then it is a touchback for the other team their ball placed at the 20.

As far as I know, that only applies to 4th down and last 2 minutes, and only if the player that recovers isn't the same one that fumbled.

Rams trade Quinn to Dolphins.

Beat me too it, yeah, that's actually good for us. I was kind of hoping they'd restructure his contract and he'd stay but I think we can do a lot better for that money.

Too bad we can't find any takers for Tavon Austin....

Saves $11 in cap space on Quinn. A good player, but hard to trust he'll stay healthy.

Mid round pick so a 4th? Better than cutting him. Rams FO doing work.

If everyone stays healthy, Wake, Suh and Quinn is a pretty wild pass rush. If the Dolphins could get some non shit guards so Tannehill won't get crushed 123321321 times this season maybe they won't suck.

Should help him going back to a 4/3 too. He looked good at the end of the season.

Seems a good trade for both sides.

Only if Tom Brady dies.

I kind of think the Dolphins are done with Tannehill.

Entirely possible, but I'm not sure he was ever the problem. People bring up them having had good skill position players but they've had one of the worst lines in the league for most of his career at this point.

I really believe this is the end of the line for Wake, sadly. They gave Branch that ridiculous contract, drafted Harris last year. They now need cap relief, and Wake will save them 8 million.

Rams get Miami’s 2018 4th and 6th round picks.

Dolphins get Robert Quinn and Los Angeles’s 2018 6th round pick.

So we move up in the 6th and get a 4th and clear up 11 mil in cap space. Tavon is def getting cut and maybe Mark Barron as well. Rams LB'ers gonna look a lot different this year.

This also freed up some money to possibly keep Trumaine Johnson and while he's not worth the money he's been paid as a 2nd corner he'd probably be fantastic. They probably have their eyes on some guys I'm not thinking about I'm sure. It's kind of amazing how much getting the right coaching staff in has improved the front office so much.

I actually feel like the Rams success is sustainable and when they move into that new stadium they could be a real contender.

I am in no way blaming Tannehill though I think he is mediocre (not horrible or anything). If anyone knows what its like to have your QB blamed because your Oline is shit its a Chargers fan.

I just think Tannehill has had to many serious injuries and missed to much time. Thats no fault of his own and I think another team should take a chance on him but I think the Dolphins have washed their hands of him . Even if only to try and save the head coaches job. This is all my speculation and I could obviously be way off base.

I fear the future when Rivers retires. We wont even be mediocre then probably.

That's all reasonable. He was probably a pretty average legit starting NFL QB which is certainly not the worst thing. I mean you could always be the Browns

Also Aldon Smith struck again. This time his fiance!
