Dolphins cut Quinton Coples, Brice McCain
Coples

Why has he not had success? Is he a 4-3 DE that was forced into a 3-4? Is he a head case? He seemed to have talent coming out of UNC.
Some guys bust

It's that simple. Not everyone can come into the NFL and succeed. There were questions about his motor during his draft evaluations. I likened him to Vernon Gholston at the time.
Of course you did

I don't think you know the definition of stalker either.

You're so fucking stupid you aren't worth the effort to type this

Done with you.
I'm not going to right him off

as a bust just yet. He wasn't an ideal fit for the 34. He's more of a traditional 43 DE.

Dolphins have salary cap issues and they'd like to retain some of their own guys. Claiming him off waivers locked them into the contract he had previously with the Jets. Had they not released him before March 9th they would've been on the hook for 7.8 million. Instead they free up 8 million in cap space.

I'd be willing to give Coples a chance here.
Me too

but what about the price tag? The Giants need to take a couple of flyers on cheap underachievers with hopes they rebound. They need to strike gold.
I wouldn't waste a penny on Coples...

until free agency plays out and then maybe offer him table scraps if he's unsigned.
I'd kick the tires ...

So tempting though..Kid's only 25..But I kept citing Damontre Moore's age as well..:)
Coples

Showed some promise early (10 sacks total first 2 seasons) but just couldn't put it together. Doesn't seem like he'd be a great fit, but wouldn't be opposed to kicking the tires if he doesn't get a FA deal.

or "self awareness" for that matter.
kick

that tire
I would offer a 1 year deal  
Jay on the Island : 2/12/2016 8:25 pm : link
for the veterans minimum. He has talent and there would be zero risk. If he sucks then cut him.
Coples

Would be our best signed DE if we signed him he does fit the 4-3 better but he is the kind of FA we need to give a shot. We are not going to have to offer starters money but sometimes a player just needs a chance in the right scheme to find himself. No one can say Coples does not have more talent than any signed DE on our present roster.
A one year deal for Coples  
Rjanyg : 2/13/2016 11:25 am : link
With incentives. If he is a 4-3 guy, seems like the kind of singing that Reese might do. Better than taking a flyer on an athlete in the 3rd round of the draft.
