Common Sense would actually tell you, that yes he and his agent believed he would. Otherwise he would of taken the dolphins offer. You realize that right? They waited , assuming he'd get offered the next year. That's the logical thing to see.
Yeah for some reason I thought it was more. Steal.
they might not. They seem to be dumping players as well. But I dont think it will be because of QB play. Dolphins I was figuring were gonna get the #1 pick going into the season. Dont think that of Carolina as of right now.
No way super bowl contending team signing bridge apparently proves it to some....
Agreed and rightly so why would you pay him more he was on a very good team and benchwarmed most of the year. Plus Carolina looks to be rebuilding he could be a year ahead if he took Miami's offer.
Logical thing to see that he was fortunate when brees went down otherwise another year of dust. Possibly passed over for your boy Tyrod.
Not a steal no one in their right mind would pay anything more with that small of a sample size. Only Carolina as they are rebuilding....
Ballage wasn't the starting RB to begin the season you do realize that right? They had Drake as the main man.
sarcasm my friend sarcasm
That is it in a nut shell. The Dolphins offer was like giving up on his career. Take the modest money offered and accept that your at the end of the line. Not a opportunity, but rather a ending to a career. It would of been the easy choice,the cowardly choice. He decided to take the path that gave him a chance to continue his career. That choice was going to be there whether Brees got injured or not. Paid off in spades. Helped that he got the chance to start and made the most of it, but he would had a better opportunity then being a sacrificial player holding a spot for the QB that the Dolphins were going to draft going forward.
Yes taking a NFL starting job is garbage no opportunity there...come on man that's ridiculous. to say that he would have received a starting job if he benchwarmed all year is pretty damn optimistic. Sure it can happen as it has in the past to a few but to guarantee this especially with his past injuries is ludicrous at best. Some could say that if he took the Fins offer and played like Fitz being still relatively young that he would have been more than a placeholder. Heck they are keeping Fitz for another year and he's old!
