Bucs,Lions,Steelers,Ravens first four games....one rotation D.E already suspended and our starting D.E probably looking at four games also.Secondary who has never played together except for the upcoming preseason. Very important for this team to start off strong and not get behind the eight ball early. A rookie will have to start along with Allison and Horton. I am hoping that R.R. and S.M. will pull something together to compensate for this problem. Here we are worrying that the offense will be struggling early due to the OL and a whole new WR corps, while our true strength will be playing with one arm tied behind it's back.What do YOU think they need to do.

I don't see Hardy getting a suspension until after the jury trial. It's not entirely impossible we have him for 16 games let him walk and then whatever chump gets him will have him suspended some games next season.

From what I have been reading he won't get that jury trial until early 2015.....doesn't happen over night. He was convicted and the Commish will want to make a statement (along with Rice).....no way they are waiting that long.

Call me fuging nuts but I'm just gonna say next man up and score more points than the other team. They're professional athletes and they need to adjust quick.

This..

I don't know what to think about Hardy's status. That whole NC bench trial first vs trial by jury muddies the water in regards to suspensions and NFLPA definition of fair and equitable ( just my .02 which may be way off). I think Alexander will be missed but can be back filled. Will hold out full comment until I know Hardy's status and Ealy's progression.

I think the talent we have outside of Hardy and Alexander can mask some holes so I don't think all is lost.

The commish almost has to wait. If they suspend Hardy and a jury finds him innocent then Hardy can sue.

I'm not sure...you really think they'll send down a suspension before the new trial? If he's found not guilty by the jury then essentially they just punished a man who was ultimately not convicted of a crime.

I have no idea how that works with the NFL. Just feels like they would wait until the entire process is finished.

Intersting..even with a conviction that is still the case? I'm not a lawyer, but I can see if he was accused (with no conviction in a court of law) of him being able to sue for damages.Hope you are correct for the teams sake.

If Goodell suspends Hardy now, then Hardy is found innocent by a jury, Rosenhaus/Hardy will sue the living crap out of Goodell & the NFL.

      Just look at OTC. It takes like 30 seconds. Also, ESPN just covered this today. As Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel openly mulls a quarterback change late in Tua Tagovailoa's disappointing season, here's the math on where things stand with Tagovailoa and the Dolphins. He has $54 million in fully guaranteed compensation in 2026. That breaks down as a $39 million salary and a $15 million option bonus that needs to be exercised between the first and third days of the 2026 league year in March. Additionally, on the third day of the 2026 league year, $3 million of his $31 million 2027 salary becomes fully guaranteed. So if he's on Miami's roster as of 4 p.m. ET on March 13, the Dolphins will be on the hook for $57 million guaranteed.   If they were to release him prior to that date, they'd still have to pay him the $54 million in 2026 cash and would absorb $99.2 million in dead salary cap charges. (They could spread that out over two years if they designated him a post-June 1 release, but they'd still take $67.4 million in dead money charges on their 2026 cap and the remaining $31.8 million in 2027.) If they were to find a way to trade Tagovailoa before March 13, the acquiring team would become responsible for the $54 million in 2026 salary and bonuses, and the Dolphins' dead-money charge would drop to $45.2 million. If they traded him after March 13, presumably they'd be on the hook for the $15 million option bonus, while the new team would take the $39 million salary; the Dolphins' dead-money charge would be $60.2 million.   None of this is even close to ideal, obviously, as it would leave Miami in a terrible cap situation and also without a quarterback. The Broncos took $80 million in dead-money charges (spread over two years) when they released Russell Wilson in 2024, and they managed to make the playoffs last season and currently hold the 1-seed in the AFC playoff field for this season. So huge dead-money charges don't necessarily kill a team's chances. But one of the reasons it has worked for Denver is it found a first-round QB in Bo Nix who could play right away.   If the Dolphins bench Tagovailoa this week, it'd be for either Zach Wilson or rookie Quinn Ewers, either of whom could theoretically be a 2026 starting option if they show enough in these remaining three weeks. But moving on from Tagovailoa would probably require the Dolphins to be players in that Mac Jones/Kyler Murray/etc. second-chance QB market if they want to compete next year. Not a great spot for whoever their next general manager turns out to be. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/47324378/nfl-week-16-buzz-news-updates-fantasy-intel-questions-predictions#trades
