MIA/TB Trade

[Seannyboi77]

MIA send:

RB Chase Edmonds MIA ($8M) - paid
WR Quez Watkins PHI ($0.7M) - paid


TB send:

2023 picks 1-5 (TB)
RB Carlos Hyde FA ($2.5M)




Miami is doing this to look forward to future seasons. We gave a good bit for Edmonds, and we think he'll be an elite PPR back in McDaniel's system this year. He's more talented than Elijah Mitchell... He's such a good zone / one cut back, great receiver, and elite pass pro guy. They gave him $12.6M and Michel only $2.1M, so he's going to get the workload. Quez is a good depth piece at only 23, I just would rather not pay both next season. Quez will start in the slot for Philly, and AJ Brown could actually open the field up for him. We also had the available salary cap to help out 4s a bit with paying on the deals and taking on Hyde.

This deal allows us to score less points, stay young, and manage our future cap situation.

This deal for TB adds two must needed pieces (+ 25-30 pts a week) for years to come and sets them up with $35M in FA cash.

TB to confirm

[4sFull]

Bucs confirm. Dolphins decided to push the risk forward to the future. We decided to take on the risk now. Doesn't seem like a blockbuster, but we'll get two starters on our offense for what looks like a few years anyway. Both Dolphins and Eagles have other options at RB and WR, but the coaches seem to like Chase and Quez. And their offenses should be fun to watch.

Nice deal, that's the way to play to win 4s.

Nice deal. The Quiz Watkins piece might be a sneaky steal for TB.
