This move screwed the Dolphins more than it would have helped the Jets.

yup. cost them way too much
Ross is trying to defend his title as the NFL's worst owner. Hope he prevails!
I hope Hill doesn't get the ball from Tua as easily as he did from Patrick. I used to say , "I like the Dolphins, except for 2 days a year."...Now it's 365!
He lives in Miami. Hills agent probably begged the Jets to put in an offer to bid up the Dolphins.
very well could be because I can't imagine JD giving up that much for him
i agree... last year, the injury bug caught up to him. once that happens to a speedster, it normally continues to hamper the speedster.
this was a massive risk for anyone giving Hill an extension, and especially an extension that takes him into his 30's.
Jets were the first/only team negotiating and Chiefs were fine with the offer - until MIA jumped in and then it was over. No idea if Hill/Agent talked to MIA but seems plausible. Jets never really had a shot and one could argue Hill/Agent used them as leverage. The Agent-Rosenhaus has already said the Jets offer had no bearing on the outcome.
Yes, but not just any receiver. He’s looking for a difference maker .
Lets reiterate exactly what happened. Yes there were 7 teams initially that were involved with the Tyreek Hill trade but the Chiefs also gave Hill and his agent permission to seek a trade.
While Hill's agent who is also close to the Miami Dolphin's organization was letting them know that he would love to come home and play closer to South Beach, Joe Douglas gave an offer that the Kansas City Chiefs were ready to accept.
That is when the Chiefs went to Hill to let him know that the Jets were the team willing to trade for him and work out a new contract prior to the trade being finalized then the Dolphins came in to the fray. Drew J Rosenhaus got the offer the Jets were willing to pay Tyreek and shared it with the Dolphins who came in with a basically a fully guaranteed deal. $72.2 M guaranteed this year and in the new league year next year the rest of his 4 year $120 M becomes full guaranteed, and he gets to go home reason why he took the deal with Miami.

Swing and a miss.
Hill in Miami gonna be as mismatched as when the Bucs had Revis playing zone.
Tua:
#26 Completed Air Yards
#22 Completed Air Yards Per Completion
#31 Passes of 10+ Yards
And if ya try talkin YAC, KC had 3 guys in the top 20 for YAC, Hill wasnt one of em.
Not to mention having yer top 2 wrs being under 6' tall.

What I don't get is why they wanted Hill when they seem have a younger cheaper version in Moore. Both are about the same size and close in speed. Hill has run a 4.29 40 and Moore has clocked in at 4.32.
Is this an indication that they have doubts about Moore?
Doubt there are any concerns about Moore in fact I think they are sky high on this kid. JD is just layering talent to give young QB as much opportunity to succeed as possible. My guess is he’ll be adding at least one probably two WRs in the first 4 rounds. Don’t take that as a slight on Moore either.
this offense is predicated on route runners and slot receivers. to get a veteran with blazing track speed will open things up for Moore and hopefully Corey Davis. the hope would of been that Mims would be that guy but only until he proves he is that guy. they plan to draft one maybe two receivers but you don't bank on rookies to be that guy.
Elijah Moore is the future but after Moore who is here to run with him? no one at the moment. Corey Davis basically is under one more year with guarantees, Mims is yet to produce and Berrios albeit a solid role player he is a return specialist first and foremost. So to bring in someone and give them an ample contract will guarantee we have two options at receiver for the foreseeable future.
Chad (Johnson) "Ocho" Cinco has said that he would come out of retirement to play for the N.Y. Jets at a discounted price of 20 million per year.
