Nicks to Panthers revisited

With as little of a contribution that Hakeem Nicks is making with the Colts, I've got to think that it has to be going through his mind that this one-year prove-it deal up in Indy isn't working quite like "the right situation" that he envisioned. 

 

For Nicks' part, he recently said, "I still view myself as the best receiver in the league."  

 

Surely he doesn't believe that he'll get paid $4mil next year with his current production, no matter how he's talking.  It just makes me wonder what really went on with his visit down here.  I've been able to catch a couple of Colts games this year, and it's not like Nicks is looking bad, but he still is fourth on the totem pole for targets from Luck (my, what a luxury).  

 

Well, it's not like either he or G-man (who did offer a contract), shut the door on a Nicks return to Charlotte, and Nicks' production should warrant some type of modest number.  Do you think either side will take another look?  And do you believe that he could help this offense playing opposite of KB?

 

Of course Nicks may just decide to go to the highest bidder (which may just be Indy if he helps them to the dance).

Nicks made a judgement call and it didn't workout for him yet..... he figured he would play with luck and put up good numbers then land a big contract well, he never figured that he would end up being the 4th or 5th option. But he didn't want to be the number 1 when smitty was cut he felt the pressure would have been all on him. He never accounted for us drafting help like KB......he played himself.....

Nick's situation is strange. He would probably have been our #1 WR but he's only #4 for the Colts. My question would be, is Nicks highly overrated, or does the Colts have so many weapons he has to take a back seat?

Both ..... He doesn't like hard work.... he always plays the odds never tries to make his own way......

      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
