Ummm.....he's missed 1 game in 5 seasons in the NFL.

Omg, it’s gonna be a bad contract

I'm sure they did their due diligence and like you've said, he has only missed 1 game. The biggest thing is that I'm not sure the Dolphins needed to be the team handing out this type of contract.

 

[BostonBob]

I'll be completely honest here - if it was possible I wanted him back with the Cowboys. But at that price......

Not paying a QB right now and even if they draft one that guy won’t make big money for 4 more years. Now is the time to spend big.

Dolphins gonna Dolphin? What? He was the best CB on the market, and one of the best man to man CBs in the game. They needed help opposite of X, and now have one of the best secondaries in football. He doesnt have the INTs, but look at his play against top WRs, he held his own most of the time.

A lot of money but both Byron and Van Noy are underrated gamers.

He's really good. He should still be a Cowboys, but Jerry screwed up the Zeke and Dak contracts horribly to have to let him walk.
