The Rams unloaded the balance of cornerback Aqib Talib‘s salary Miami Dolphins Jerseys 2019 , giving up a 2020 fifth-round pick and receiving in return a 2022 seventh-rounder from Miami. The move saved $4.235 million in cash and cap space for the Rams, and the Rams can now devote that to signing other players, like cornerback Jalen Ramsey.With Talib officially gone from L.A., Rams coach Sean McVay spent time praising him in a conference call with reporters.“Aqib has meant a whole lot,” McVay said. “He’s meant a whole lot to our team. I think just the confidence, the swagger, the veteran leadership that he’s brought. He’s been Christian Wilkins Miami Dolphins Jerseys , really, a big part of what’s gone on since he got here and he’s been nothing but positive since he got here. Like I’ve said, I think he’s a Hall of Fame player. Everything that we do is in the best interest of the team long term and short term and just based on some of the things that came from that, that was really what went into the decision. Nothing but a lot of good things from our end on Aqib, what he’s meant to us and, specifically, what he’s meant to me.”Talib will bring none of that to the Dolphins; he’s on injured reserve with fractured ribs Christian Wilkins Miami Dolphins Jerseys , and he won’t be eligible to return until after Week 15. There’s a good chance he’ll never wear a Dolphins uniform.Ultimately, it’s a miniature version of the Brock Osweiler hot-potato trade, where one team dumps guaranteed salary and the other buys a draft pick. For Miami, getting a 2020 fifth-round pick and giving up a 2022 seventh-rounder was worth $4.235 million. In 2017, the Browns bought a second-round pick from the Texans for $15.25 million, given the offset arising from the $775,000 deal Osweiler signed in Denver after being released.For the Rams Miami Dolphins Jerseys Stitched , the question became whether to pay the $4.235 million and hope to get something from Talib late in the regular season or in the postseason, or whether to unload the salary and move on. For Talib, the good news is that he’ll save more than $560,000 in state income taxes by swapping California’s 13.3-percent rate for Florida’s zero-point-zero. Sure the Dolphins are tanking, whether they say it or not. But we knew that was coming.The eye-opener in Miami Sunday was the play of Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson.The second-year passer was perfect in their 59-10 win over the Dolphins, able to watch the fourth quarter safely on the bench after logging a spotless 158.3 passer rating.Jackson was 17-of-20 passing for 324 yards and five touchdowns.Last year in seven starts after taking over for Joe Flacco, he threw five touchdowns.This year’s progress was clear — though there was some grade inflation because of the opponent — yet the deep ball combination with rookie Marquise Brown (four catches for 147 yards and two touchdowns) is a new element to their offense.The conventional wisdom was that the Ravens were going to be run-heavy in their new offense Christian Wilkins black jersey , and that may eventually be true as the season goes on. But Jackson showed he’s capable of being a dual threat.The Dolphins showed themselves to be capable of not much, with Josh Rosen thrown into the fire in the third quarter after they were down 52-10. It’s going to be a long year for Dolphins fans, who waited nine minutes to start booing, and perhaps shouldn’t have waited that long.
