they're clearing capspace for Watson

They don't need to clear cap

[Heismanberg]

Gaysharks released Kyle van Noy. I thought he was pretty good?

He was very good and towards the top of the league in pressures.  Have to think that they are targeting someone like Zaven Collins in the first round to replace him.

They don't need to clear cap

they did anyway

[Johnny English]

They don't need to clear cap

They do if they want to sign Watson.

His cap hit is only $10.5M this season.  They did not need to make space for him.

They've only got $22M, between Watson and rookies they'd have nothing left.

They have several players expected to be cut that will put them around $35-$40M before cutting KVN.

They don't need to move money around to acquire Watson.  They are likely moving money around so they can go after Aaron Jones.

They went from 18 to 22 to get a 2020 first round tackle?

I'd say that's a damn great move for Miami.

The downside of this is way way less than the upside

Even his cap hit is next to nothing

The guy acted like a jerkoff with covid, well there's a decent chance the nfl won't have the insane restrictions next season. And almost no chance they'll have them  the year after

It says a swap of picks to get a first round player, not a swap of first round picks. I can't believe they'd give up four spots in the first for a guy who could easily not make it out of camp, given his apparent lack of interest in being a professional football player.

Well we'd have to see what they gave up, but this seems like a smart move.

Most of us would be excited if we made a minimal swap for this dude

Not really. He's never shown anything in the NFL except a stunning lack of maturity and professionalism. He's not far off being Jachai Polite except he was a first round pick.

He's never shown anything, in one season, without an offseason, reduced team activities, two agents on the covid list, and a dui.

I agree completley he's immature and has all kinds of issues.

But to be fair he's an nfl rookie, and because of covid hasn't had the normal rookie opportunity to grow up and learn to be a football player + adult with a normal NFL regiment and structure.

100% he's been a jackass, but I think that's at least salvageable with some structure

I don't blame Miami at all for taking the punt, I just think the chances of him turning out to be any good are slim.

I wouldn't say its slim, but it's no slam dunk either.

The circumstances here are much more unusual
