Interested to learn the #Dolphins finished 2nd to the #Seahawks in the Jimmy Graham trade. MIA was aggressive in trying to upgrade at TE.
*but the seattle talk just "evolved"*

Trying to get Tannehill some jump ball guys like he had in college.

At least they gave us a 3rd rounder and Ellerbe for a drag queen.

I thought the GM's on this board said we didn't even try to see what others were willing to give for him

That Miami 1st rounder would have been real nice. Who would've been the other player I wonder and I'm sure that was the hold up. Would rather not have Jimmy in the NFC.

So would it have been Pouncey?

I could see it as a case of us calling for Unger and Miami called about Graham or maybe we called them for a comparison to what Seattle was offering.
It's always better to have a third party involved to drive up the price so this isn't shocking news and could still have evolved from one team asking about him(after we asked for their player) to us getting other offers to check his market.
And that could have lead to the Stills trade because we originally offered a(couple of) receiver. When Seattle got Jimmy instead we could have asked the Dolphins if they were interested in Stills (with a clearly downgraded offer from what Jimmy would have gotten us).

Exactly.
Just a total coincidence that Loomis and Ireland had strong historical ties to both of those franchises, and that's who finished 1-2 in the Jimmy Sweepstakes. One hundred percent coincidental.

Would have done it for any deal including Jarvis Landry.
