JAFBF Posted March 13, 2015 Report Share Posted March 13, 2015 Great Player, but one hit from involunatary Retirement. Best of luck, but too rich for my risk/reward scenario at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ConnerLangford Posted March 13, 2015 Report Share Posted March 13, 2015 Waste of money, everyone still pining for that breakout season he had. Rumor is he is still being sought by dolphins. Let them have him. 7.5 mil for 3-5 games a year... Exactly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hx214 Posted March 13, 2015 Report Share Posted March 13, 2015 I was actually alittle disappointed when the report came that they resigned him. Guy is a good player, but damn if he can take a hit. Laughing at all the fins fans on cbs.com calling Cleveland a joke and jumping up and down that they are signing him looking at his combine numbers, etc. See if he makes it out of training camp before ya get to excited..

cdl15 Posted March 13, 2015 Report Share Posted March 13, 2015 Decent player. Injuries was a factor. Also never liked the way he fell to the ground on every ball he caught. Injury prone and playing scared doesn't sit well. They should be after clay hardcore tho now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calfoxwc Posted March 13, 2015 Report Share Posted March 13, 2015 Wow. He just didn't want to stay in Cleveland then. Good riddance, apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miktoxic Posted March 13, 2015 Report Share Posted March 13, 2015 it was a lot of money for a gamble on his health. i liked the kid and wish him well........ at least someone else spent that kind of money at those high of stakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axe Posted March 13, 2015 Report Share Posted March 13, 2015 Just an agent doing his job...... And like someone said up the thread a bit, I think it was Logic, dude is one more concussion from retirement so it's only logical (no pun intended) that he sign with a Fla team. If the numbers were virtually the same as reported between the Browns and Fins then the lack of a state income tax came into play A pretty decent crop of TEs in the draft..

hoorta Posted March 13, 2015 Report Share Posted March 13, 2015 Glad to see a player wanting to stay! And someone on this board today stated the Dolphins were out of money. This is a very good omen. And the Browns should draft a tight end in later rounds if they can. With all the money they're paying Suh- can't have that much left. DawgPoundNation.com @DawgPoundNation 25s 26 seconds ago So, Cameron had a verbal agreement with the #Browns. Then backed out to work on a deal with the Dolphins. Yup, dick move by him. Nah- classic free market move. I got this hard offer here, can you do one better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opal312 Posted March 13, 2015 Report Share Posted March 13, 2015 So Cameron signed with Miami for the same money Cleveland offered. Most probably because Tannehill is better than our quarterbacks if you want to call them that. And Buffalo will probably get Clay. If that happens, in a very thin tight end draft class, who do we get? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TexasAg1969 Posted March 13, 2015 Report Share Posted March 13, 2015 Well hang on to this thread so that at some point next season when another concussion causes retirement we can all say we have a brilliant f/o. Much more highly likely than not with a multiple concussion background. This site does not show he is getting any guaranteed money. http://www.spotrac.com/nfl/free-agents/miami-dolphins/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dawg2fan Posted March 13, 2015 Report Share Posted March 13, 2015 I couldn't agree with you more. He was banged up the last two years, so why not expect the same thing this year. I wish him the best but we should move on to Clay. Hopefully, he's healthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PoeticG Posted March 13, 2015 Report Share Posted March 13, 2015 Well, well, well... And I thought Cam was a true brown- through and through... I guess he doesn't deserve the likes of Thomas, Haden and Mack. Heartbreaker... This does make me sad though. I liked his touchdown T too. Whatever though, he'll realize he fucked up when we win the Superbowl this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miktoxic Posted March 14, 2015 Report Share Posted March 14, 2015 so after signing suh and cam the dolphins have gutted their WR ranks. and people here bitch that we don't spend a lot on FA? let's see how all these big name acquisitions equate to their new team's records before you start grading out these moves.

Mik, You are correct. I posted somewhere the other day about the 2011 Eagles trading & buying the "Dream Team". The media had them winning the Super Bowl pre-season. I don't think their 8-8 record that year quite made it. I had told Cal during that year's FA that they screwed their team chemistry & would look silly. They did!

Mike right. miami signs suh and cam but hartline and wallace are gone, tannehill is still unproven.......who's going to score for them? if the browns fill one or two holes with competent FAs fine (whitner last year is a perfect example). i think they are looking more towards the draft then ever before. wish the fans who are in such an uproar would give someone a chance to do their job before they start calling them assholes or incompetent. i mean where would they be if their boss reprimanded them every time they dropped some french fries on the ground?

Flugel Posted March 14, 2015 Report Share Posted March 14, 2015 Wow. He just didn't want to stay in Cleveland then. Good riddance, apparently. Remember those bubblegum lyrics "you can look at the menu but you just can't eat"??? Miami just went all in on that. I feel like this is one of those rare occasions divine intervention was trying to help our front office no matter how much they resisted prior to Miami bailing them out. Reality is Cameron remains just 1 jolting hit shy of career curtains. People can say it was the QB situation driving the decision but the 1 year both Gordon and Cameron made the Pro Bowl - our QBing and running game was a short bus fire drill most of the time. TODAY, we have the balance of a running game with 9 or 10 draft picks than can make us stronger outside. This is a quick summary of what the 1 NFL team willing to burn a 4th round pick on a college resume of 1 start + 1 dunk got in return over 4 years: 1) The first 2 years he looked like a project (occasional excitement as well as limitations foreshadowed) 2) 2013 was a Pro Bowl season (despite Weeden & Campbell combining to win 1 of 13 starts); but remained a TE with limited value for our running game. 3) In 2014 the story change gave us the next Evan Moore after Cinderella's midnight. I'm also okay with letting NE pay Jabaal Sheard 11 million $ over 2 years in a scheme he's prolly better suited to play in. IMO, an overachiever with pedestrian numbers is not the type of talent you change an overall scheme for. I LIKED Sheard so I'm happy a guy that works hard and stays out of trouble has a comfortable niche out there. JJ Watt is a differently wired guy that a defensive minded coach is willing to change an overall scheme for. In particular, when Watt was drafted to a team that ran a 34 D - Wade Phillips saw enough of a game changer talent that compelled him to switch to a 4 man front in 78% of the snaps JJ's rookie year. I'm sure injuries to the LBer Corps also drove that decision; but the success that front generated gave him no reason to change the frequency of sic em, sock em and sack em.
