Thank God, the guy blew

i’m happy we got rid of him, will only make our defense better

I see Smith as a started opposite Will… Jones and Allen as back-ups…

Idk about Billingsley…

The secondary will be stong this year.

This guy is pitiful. Didn’t we give him a big contract though. I realize that probably none of it was guaranteed but still.

Nevertheless I am giddy now.

I think this shows that the Trifecta see more value in Jason Allen than in Green and are very confident about Vontae and Sean in there abilities to play the game at this level.

I don’t think they wanted to waste Green’s time and cut him in early September when the roster has to be set. Good Luck to Green getting on with another team.

The way I see it after his preformance it was only a matter of time. He really wasnt going to contribute any where after that so why keep him. You have Allen and Smith who have taking over the 2 starting roles. Davis would get more of the back up playing time then Green would have. Nate jones is a solid nickle guy. Jason Allen is a solid special teamer. Green was just taking up reps that could go to someone like J. Allen who still has more upside and needs the work…

but then everyone else would say it right back! :) I think the Green signing was one move that we all were skeptical about initially.

Also agree with those of you seeing the positive in that the Triad is not afraid to correct mistakes, rather than try to cover them up. So they signed him, and it cost a little bit of money. Ross can afford it… small mistake. Big mistake would be to keep him.

I think when they signed him they did not expect to be able to score both Davis and Smith in the draft, and I’m pretty sure that Smith falling to them in the second is what really sealed the deal for Green. i would much rather see them give J. Allen a little more time to develop, rather than a Green.

All Hail The Almighty Triad!
;-)

any good veteran cbs on the market?

How much this move costs us? in cash and vs the cap? very curious. If we cut Wilford also, that would be alot of cap dead weight this year

Now, who’s taking his spot? Allen, Jones, Billingsley, or Thomas. Or are we signing someone for competition?

I along with a some others, quickly pointed out that this guy couldn’t even keep his job in Arizona. What was the point of bringing in a mediocre player when what this secondary needed was a bonafide starter opposite Will Allen.

Some of the peanut gallery of course, said we were being too negative, too critical.

Guess it didn’t take long to see how this acquisition went…

Good riddance.

Anyone else a little concerned that the trifecta’s drafting expertise seems to be better than their FA picks? Wilford? Green? Grove? All big $$ compared to their apparent abilities. I still trust in them and applaud their team building, and CP10 turned out to be a winner, but there have been a few stinkers. I would have preferred we spent that money on re-signing Goodman.

this is an example of why this team is head and shoulders above any team we have had in the last 10 years…

-players are held accountable…no matter who you are.

-you play like shit….have a nice day. you dont think other players see this kinda thing happen and decide bringing 120% to the field everyday is a good idea? 1 preseason game? that shows playrs that practice matters…cuz if he was awesome in practice he woulda had a longer leash

i love it. Sparano, Ireland, Parcells……you cant ask for much more. they do it the right way.

i’ve been tinkering with my roster update and after the J-hole game… the first change i made was to drop green from the team… i figured there was no way he was on… i’m pretty surprised that he didn’t last until cut downs… but then this one of the reasons these guys are liked …. they may be hard but they are fair…. once it was clear green wasn’t making the team they gave him a shot to find a job some place else.

why didnt the FO ask the Phinsider crew about Green beforehand, we could have saved them 3.15m or we could have split the money between all of us who thought this was a bad move. ~$10k a piece or at least season tickets…

Signing Eric Green accomplished three things:

1. It added mystery to The Dolphins early round picks. The Phins had many needs, but with the absence of Goodman, CB was the obvious choice. By signing Green, Parcells/Ireland prevented other teams from using our glaring need against us from a strategic standpoint.

2. The FO knew they were drafting at least one CB, maybe two. Green added competition to the rookies and gave a cheap safety net in case Sean Smith and/or Vontae Davis did not turn out to be ready from the start.

3. In the case the FO couldn’t get their hands on 2 CBs early, Green would have been a cheap caretaker/mentor for a rookie who could possibly need development before being able to succeed in the NFL.

There was nothing wrong with this signing. Had the regime picked up a more expensive CB, that CB would be sitting on the bench and taking up more cap space than a cut Billingsley/J. Allen/Nate Jones. Once it was obvious Eric Green was not needed, he was cut. Bravo front office.
