Question: What do you think we should do with Landry and his pending contract?
It's OK to overpay for him because he is an important part of the team   -5 (23.8%)
Stand fast and only pay him if he is willing to accept reasonable money   -6 (28.6%)

Franchise tag him if he won't accept market value   -8 (38.1%)

I don't blame him for the 5 yard receptions.  He doesn't call the plays.  Dude just runs the routes that he is told to run. 
I agree. They have tried to spread him out but didn't he didn't have the same success. Kenny Stills is much better than he is outside of the slot.

Dude, he had 5 penalties all year, and only 2 were 15 yarders.  Perception is not reality.

Dude, he ain't worth $16M a year. $8-$9M, maybe $10M. Anything more and it would be better spent elsewhere.

I don't disagree with that, just the penalty part.  I don't want to pay him 16 mil, but not terribly upset if they do.

Just a joke about the penalties. But they were just frustrating as fuck. I think dude has some attitude issues. He ain't as good as he thinks he is in my opinion.

To your point, there were a bunch of times I was surprised he didn't get called for a penalty for taunting and the like.

Sounds like the ugly stepsister to the old "LeBron gets many triple-doubles, but a lot of them are counting turnovers" nonsense.

Franchise tag him if he doesn't accept a fair offer.

Can a team still trade a player that is under franchise tag? And since Miami waited to the last minute now he can also just walk away right? And we don't get crap. Unless there is a team that really wants him and offers Miami a trade, with Landry agreeing to restructure.

No team wants him under the tag as he can leave next year. Basically Landry will have to agree to a long term contract with another team in order for them to take him ... so Landry is in still in control as far as a trade goes.

At this point with Sammy Watkins a free agent, the market for Wideouts is pretty decent. So, why break the bank for a slot receiver AND give up draft compensation?

Unless we settle for a 4th rounder AND Landry comes to his senses and takes $10 Million annually, he will be a Dolphin next season and we won't make the franchise tag mistake again.

Even though we appear to do that every year.

I read an AP report today that Landry has signed the franchise tag tender, so he will either be in Miami making $16M next year, or Miami could trade him next week when the league year starts.  I find it unlikely that another team is so desperate for a WR to pay him the kind of money he wants (which is like $14M/year guaranteed for 3 years).  I believe Miami has offered $12M per year, which is very reasonable IMO.

There really seems to have been a shift in the NFL with regards to paying RB's & WR's in the last several years.  With the way rookie contracts work many teams seem to think these players can be easily, and cheaply, replaced via the draft; and are placing more emphasis on paying for solid OL & DL.
