    Wallace had 9 more receiving yards than Jeremy Kerley in 2012. The Dolphins are overpaying for him, the Steelers aren't that stupid.

    Last year Buffalo was the next Playoff team after their free agent signings. Teams are rarely built through free agency. Ask Snyder and the Skins. They won the free agent battle every March and remained a mediocre team until this season. Pittsburgh rarely makes a mistake when they let a player go. PhilbIn is trying to build GB south in Miami. We'all see. They still need an OL and Tannehill is no Rodgers at this poInt.

    You don't win titles by overpaying for free agents . Wallace is not worth that much money

    Wallace is inconsistent and apparently is a bad attitude in the locker room. He will make some plays, no doubt. And it's important to get Tannehill some weapons, but 13M is a shit ton for Wallace. It will depend on if it helps Tannehill blossom into a top third QB, then it will have been worth it.

    Also, I think the Jets were the team that picked the right time to let Faneca go. He was still a mauler for us for his entire tenure.

    Keller had tools to do more than he is capable, but he also sucked in big moments

    Probably has something to do with that POS QB throwing to him all these years.

    12mil and let's not make it out like wallace was close to the cancer marshall was for us. This whole thing wallace had a bad attitude started last year. I see no reason for him to still be pissed now that he's got payed.

    So you're saying this will be a smooth transition for him? I bet he's relieved.

    I'd be wary about an guy like this getting paid but obviously he's a huge upgrade, you guys have weapons to throw to now. You clearly overpaid for him but that's what FA is all about.

    BLOW IT UP BABY!!

    Let them have Keller. Injury prone and never really evolved into a "great" TE.

    We are rebuilding right now. Removing everything we can and starting from scratch. Miami can sign all the big name free agents they want. We all know signing big names doesn't win championships. We may suck next season, but Miami is not going anywhere either. NE will rule the division and Miami, if they make it to the playoffs, will just fall immediately.

    Build our team through the draft and come back with a vengeance. I'll take it

    It is an upgrade although I don't think of him as a Number 1 WR and I agree he's overpaid by 3-4 mil, It's like basically filling a spot in our team that was never there last year. Too be honest I see hartlines numbers improving a lot from last year now that he doesn't have to face number 1 CBs. Hell who knows maybe he's get back to his 2010-2011 form where I remember people were considering borderline number 5 WR, Hopefully with a full offseason camp he can get it back together.

    You could also ask the pats about signing 26 FA's on Bradys first SB run.

    that was a very different approach, they didn't bring in any high price FAs, they brought in competition- mostly vets w/ something to prove and they had no idea what they had in Brady. If Brady doesn't get inserted into the lineup they don't get to the playoffs let alone win a SB.

    We're good. I was just busting your balls a bit, but you might consider that Keller did have Favre throwing to him in 2008 and did nothing special (45 rec, 535 yds, 3 TDs).

    P.S. Tannehill is not all that.

    I'm not too high if we sign keller and I still think we would need to draft another TE (Egnew sucks) I agree tannehill is still a ? but getting him some options to throw too is a lot better than sitting pretty and doing nothing for our rookie QB. Keller is an upgrade over fasano in the passing game and if healthy, it's by a large margin. (Not saying much since a lot of TE are an upgrade over him in the passing game)
