    They also saw Ryan Tannehill up close and personal and chose to pay him 77 million dollars

    Lamar Miller is an excellent three-down RB and $6.5 is not "overpaying" at all.

    He's not supposed to be a red zone threat. He is supposed to stretch the field, open things up for Nuk and everyone else.

    They have excellent RB depth and their offense has become a "spread" that de-emphasizes a power back.

    Because unlike the Texans, they don't have to be begging for castaway QBs in free agency every year.

    I would argue that Ryan Tannehill=castaway QB

    With Lamar Miller.

    Just because a player doesn't fit into one team's plans doesn't mean he can't play. Different teams have different philosophies. He would be the best RB on our roster by FAR.

    The Dolphins have not done well at all in the free agency period the last 4-5 years. They have over paid players, and had to cut some of them with a big cap hit only a year or two later.

    I am not picking on the Dolphins (as the Texans track record isn't good either), but I wouldn't read too much out of the Dolphins not wanting to keep Miller.

    I didn't say he can't play. I just said "red flags".

    The big advantage Miller has over Ivory and Martin is health- Ivory and Martin have battled injuries while Miller is perfectly healthy. This is probably a huge factor with the Texans. Ivory is more explosive (when healthy, Ivory is Beast Mode II) but the Texans are sick of guys who get hurt.

    Mcclain doesn't know anything. Not sure why this scrub is on a dallas radio station anyway, I'd rather have him stay there and pick up a job covering the cowboys. Houston doesn't want him.

    I'd do it, I'll be surprised if they spend on a RB

    Dallas radio is in love with Lamar Miller so they called McClain to see what's going on with the Miller to Houston reports

    Ivory reportedly wants 'Miller money'

    Good God, I thought I couldn't hate this man more than I already did. If he ends up going to Dallas and flourishes, just shoot me.
