Incognito signs


Jeff_Darlington  I just received a text from a source about Richie Incognito: "A deal has been reached!" the text reads.

Jeff_Darlington The Dolphins have agreed to terms with Incognito, according to two sources, and they are currently finalizing the contract.

Jeff_Darlington The deal, according to a source, is a one-year contract worth "a bit over $1 million." Incognito must prove himself b4 getting longer deal.

Via Twitter.

I personally like the move. A 1 year, $1m dollar contract represents little-to-no risk to me, and apparently the guy has some untapped talent. Thoughts?

I think this is great news......

especially the fact that its only a one year deal…..

There is little to no risk and a high reward if this move works, which i think it will

I've heard he has injury issues

Which makes the middle of our line, though impressive on paper, a little on the brittle side.

Great.

I wonder how many games he’ll go before one of his personal foul penalties negates a TD.

I'm assuming there is a "one and done" clause.

I would also add in his contract that every game he plays in without a non-holding penalty (all o-linemen hold) will be like a $10k or $15k bonus.

And put a punching bag on the sidelines for him.

Dolphins and Gators baby!

by gatorfin on Mar 17, 2010 11:08 AM EDT up reply actions  

I hope there is one of those clauses in there

for me to get on board with this in any capacity whatsoever. I just have this bad feeling that he is going to hurt our offense too much with his penalties. I’ve seen him screw up too many drives and negate too many scores with the Rams for me to think him being a Dolphin will be a benefit until I actually see it. I will readily admit it if I am wrong and he has changed his ways, but I will also be ready with an “I told you so” when he doesn’t.

Not necessary

First of all, a contract would not have a no penalty clause in it. Players often get called for penalties they don’t commit. Also, you can’t ‘handcuff’ a lineman by making him afraid of being penalized. That would be like putting a ’fumble’clause in a) contract, or an’interception clause ina QB contract. You can’t have a player who is afraid to make mistakes. All that causes is more mistakes.
There is a clause for dumb penalties however. Its called the bench. If he acts like a meathead, he will be benched.Get benched enough, and you get cut. That’s the only clause he needs.

by jjschmid72 on Mar 17, 2010 11:47 AM EDT via mobile up reply actions  

Except that has not worked for him before.

He was benched multiple times in St. Louis and he still continued to do the same crap.

Porter also didn't have a history of negating scores and big plays

with his penalties, even after being benched multiple times like Incognito has. From having watched him play the last 4 seasons I don’t think he’s going to change and that this will come back to bite us in the ass.

If that comes across as whining then so be it, but he’ll have to prove it on the field before I’ll believe this will be more benefit than harm. If he can do it, that’s great and I’ll admit I was wrong, but until then I’m remaining a skeptic.

This is a great deal. If he gets his shit together we get a good player on the cheap.

If not you just dump him. Hes on a small contract and and its an uncapped year so theres no penalty for dumping anyone at anytime.

That’s one less area of need and that’s means we can use a draft pick for something else instead of OL depth.

Wondering

if alot of his issues with penalties and such are due to losing so much?? Maybe he comes in on a team that has some talent and straightens up……

Second Offender

Most penalties of this nature are thrown on the guy that retaliates. Does anyone else see the connection of Tony Sparano and Dave DeGuglielmo (O-Line coach). I see these guys Taking Incognito out and making him an offer he can’t refuss if he screws up. This will be a good additon to the team.

although Thomas is a beast, I like him on that right side, but Incog will improve our depth as well as push for a starting job.

I love this move.

Not only do we get a probable starter, but one of the biggest complaints we as fans had going into last season was the lack of depth on the O-line. Now, we are getting some depth. Plus, at this price, he doesn’t add all that much to our $40million line in the first place.

What a potentially great deal this is for the FIns!

His upside is perennial probowler, and if it doesn’t work out no big deal, we gave up no players, no picks and no huge contract, this is a really good deal here.
