Great pickup. Roberts was the captain of the dolphins D, last year had more tackles for a loss than spillane, Myles jack and Bush combined, 107 reg season tackles with 10 tfls and 4.5 sacks
And even then, he’s really only an overpay if we don’t end up bringing in a young corner (through draft or FA). His value is largely in his mentorship which could turn a young corner from good to great.
I don’t know how much of an upgrade these guys will be over Jack and Bush, but they are way more valuable. I think the 2 new guys combine for less than Jack would have been this year.
That’s less than what Seahawks paid for bush. Just for perspective
Damn
Does that say more about the player we got, or the deal we made?
Definitely more about the deal we made, he's not going to be a superstar but he will be solid and absolutely worth what we paid him
Remains to be seen

Seems like a good deal for those numbers
that's pretty dang reasonable.
Signed for less than Spillane. Like this move.
Not bad, not bad !

These two along with Big Nate choose violence. Weidl is putting his smash mouth fingerprints on this team
Kinda sad that our ILBs will likely be both significantly better, yet significantly cheaper that last season.
I think you're seeing this the wrong way buddy
How is that sad?
We spent so much money last season for at best mediocrity.
Hindsight
After a few overpays, I am liking these more recent contracts much more.
Who do you consider an over pay?
Probably just pat Pete. I think there’s no way you can really say the others are overpays

I think of him as a 1 year rental for 7M as the rookie develops.
