I recently read an interview and Stephen Ross from an article Andy Kent wrote. It's a pretty good piece from a human interest story on why Ross is a Dolphins fan and how he grew his business. http://www.miamidolphins.com/news/stephen-ross-passion-building However, there are two statements...

Hopefully I didnt miss this not being posted somewhere else. Nice Read http://www.movethesticks.com/ Follow the link for the rest of the article.

Sign Karlos Dansby -Move Crowder to Ayodeles spot -Cut Ayodele Sign Antrell Rolle (He's on his way out in AZ) -Ask Y Bell for pay cut. If he declines cut him and move Gibril Wilson to his natural strong safety position. If Bell accepts, cut Wilson without hesitation! Trade 1st and 3rd to...

This team is talented; however, a lot of us fin fans might give more credit to certain players than they deserve. I am not saying that these players don't deserve the benefit of the doubt; however, a lot of us are taking the "Chris Chambers" approach when it comes to potential talent. The reason...

Every pro and so called expert always talks about the biggest improvement for a team is the developement of young starting QB's, (pretty obvious I know). So why are alot of us trying to improve the defense first and then worry about the offense 2nd. Wouldn't that possibly shake Henne's...

OK, of the following WR's which one would you trade for. I have put what is rumored to have to be given up to get them so that weighs into the Decision as well. These are the names that are rumored to be available and have been mentioned on this forum. If you want more than one you can...

By all accounts, Bowe is buried six miles deep in Todd Haley's doghouse and Haley/Pioli are exploring trade possibilities for him. I don't know exactly what Kansas City's asking price for him is going to be, however he's a Wideout I'd not mind seeing Miami inquire about. What are your...

http://miamiherald.typepad.com/dolphins_in_depth/ That would be Awesome, a true playmaker at FS. He can recruit Dansby after we sign him.

I was just thinking of the draft and what players coming out that we could relistically get, probably in the second. I personally want Ronaldo McClain at 12, but he plays inside and wouldn't take over for porter. But looking to the second round, i believe we have the 44th pick and I like Brandon...

Stephen Ross and friends, get your checkbooks out. Can it really be done?? I think so. A huge front loaded contract offer may keep the Chargers from matching, but the amounts would have to resemble a Pete Carroll like deal. Is he worth it? I think so. Guys this big,strong and fast are almost...

Does anyone know the applicable rules that may apply to a hypothetical scenario like this: Say the Dolphins do want to acquire Miles Austin or Vincent Jackson by making a contract offer knowing that if accepted will cost them a 1st and a 3rd draft pick. Can they, previous to making the offer,...

http://miamiherald.typepad.com/dolphins_in_depth/2010/02/why-cant-the-dolphins-trade-joey-porter.html

My ideal scenerio 2010 would be:- firstly shipping both Crowder and Porter for A.Boldin. I would then mix front 3. I would stick with Solai at NT but not as an every down player. I believe he is more athletic than T. Cody and he is projected as a low 1st -mid 2nd round draft pick. He was...

With Porter on the way out, and other contracts expiring, we have a chance at going after someone like Dansby. People say slot him next to Crowder and go. I disagree. Crowder has never been what he should have been, and he took Porter's side against the team. Why not cut his contact, in this...

Ok, here I go again playing "GM". This is how the DOlphins offseason should go in my eyes, and this is how it would go if I were GM. Pound me into the dirt if you want, but this is just my opnion. And here we go..... 1. Sign Carlos Dansby FAST!!!!! I would have him signed at 12:01am on March 5th,...

http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=4920302 He's rather young and has experience and is also a pro-bowler. Would you trade a pick for this player? http://twitter.com/Adam_Schefter/statuses/9228899271

236 players

http://a.espncdn.com/photo/2009/0602/nfl_i_ginn_576.jpg Whether through draft or free agency, the Miami Dolphins need to address their wide receiving core in order to attain the status of an elite offense. Now, management has voiced its preference towards acquiring a majority of their talent via...

Why is it we still havent gotten a uniform upgrade of some kind? were probably the plainest team in the league with the white jerseys. WHy not make the orange jerseys our permant uniforms with orange socks, it looks so much better. Our helmets are fine but we need to change our uniform, who is for...

Ok, theres not much out there as we all know but heres my list of guys that could help us and provide depth at the very least. Quarterbacks- We have a solid starter (Henne) with depth (Thigpen) but I'd like to sign Pennington and try Pat White at WR. Running backs- Chester Taylor would be a...

I know there are plenty of threads out there debating which wr would fit Miami best. My question is, lets say hypothetically both Arizona and Denver came to you as Miami front office and said you could have either Brandon Marshall or Anquan Boldin for a second round pick. Well then, which one would...

Who's better, who has more potential, who would you rather have? Mario Manningham or Brian Hartline? I think Hartline has great upside and will be a perfect #2 for us, he has great hands, and makes plays. I wouldnt trade hartline for manningham everrr, would you guys? my cousin is a huge giants...

Sorry if somebody else posted this somewhere else. This is awesome! Props to Wildbill3 for the instruction of how to actually get the video on this thread as well...had no idea how. 0C8HHP8VBOA

if i hear 1 more thing abotu dansby to mia ima go crazy and lose my mind! who waits 2 weeks for FA! GET IT GOING NOW PLZZZZZZ!! who knows when the franchise deadline is? Feb 24 i think right? Bethea, Wilfork, Dansby, Ryans, Daniels are tops on my wish list! Franklin got tagged today I...

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/343127-nfl-rumor-mill-around-the-league It is from the bleacher report, but non the less it should be taken to account. The Fins have nothing to lose by signing him to a one year contract and seeing how he performs in TC. Worse that can happen is he is...

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/344855-miami-dolphins-feb-13-news-notes He had left football last year to return to school but has now decided to give it a try at football again apparently. He was about 6'4" 312 pounds last season when signed as an undrafted free agent from the University...

I dont know why so many people are against giving away later draft picks. The players that 95% of the time contribute are taken in the 1st and 2nd rounds. Here is a look at the past 10 drafts and who weve taken in the 3rd , 4th and 5th rounds 00-Ben Kelly , Deon Dyer , Arturo Freeman --Kelly...

All the talk about Parcells and Co not taking the risks some want them to take via draft or FA has got me thinking. Has the FO taken any risks in their past to show us they are willing to do it? The one move I can think of, and probably the biggest, is the Pat White pick. That pick took guts....

here is an artical i found on henne. i thought is was a good read so im sharing it with you all. enjoy. heres the link. http://www.sun-sentinel.com/sports/miami-dolphins/fl-skolnick-chad-henne-dolphins-0216-20100215,0,6965900.column?page=1

Sorry for the homerism, he is from my original hometown (Larchwood, IA) :) Anyways, do you think he could fit in here? He's an extremely hard worker, and at the least could be a dang good backup, but I think he still has the potential to be a good starting DE. It's on PFT right now, saying...

Worry about their off the field problems first before they worry about what they do on the field? For instance, Brandon Marshall, I come here everyday and see soooo many posts about how hes a distraction in the locker room, about how he always complains. Who the hell cares? Your the last...

As part of my break from work, I will delve into the 3-4 defense and the technicalities of it. I will void the D-Line explanation as it seems we are more than set at the front 3. Its a pretty long read. For those who do not know, the Miami Dolphins run a 3-4 defense. ILB/OLB: The inside...

I was looking for info. regarding Pat Whites injury after reading another thread. Anyone have an update? While doing so...I came across this article. http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=4792865 Got me thinking...Thigpen looked good in that 2nd half of the final game. It seems very...

Hey Guys,,,,,I was just thinking how far the NFL has evolved during the past 75 years and I was wondering what do you think the NFL will be like 100 years from now. Here is my take on what the Dolphins will be like in 2110...sorry about the date...headline typo. 1. The Phins decided after 25...

seriously the last few years what has BP broght in here that was a big splash.he does not go after top notch FA, does not make big time trades and to date has not impressed in his drafting.are we giving BP to much respect on what he did in his past. i think we have a lot further to go then most...

I don't think I have seen a post about this guy, but Gary Brackett (ILB - Colts) is a UFA. He is a very good player and I think could be a good player for us. He isn't tall (5-11, 235 Lbs, 29 years old), but he is fast and has GREAT instincts. Ray Lewis type skill set. NO I am not saying he is...

Per Adam Schefter (see link below) it looks like he will get tagged...nothing we didn't expect I guess, but I do not see us trading for him. Looks like its down to Wilfork and Hampton. http://twitter.com/Adam_Schefter

http://tinyurl.com/yjzmmpq Just something I thought I would share. Good to know we're improving.

Porter is obviously not someone Arizona was interested in and Dansby is someone they may not want to shell out the bucks for again. I'm sure draft picks would be required too maybe our 3rd and their 6th. A lot of folks were saying Porter and our 3rd, just seems like Crowder has more trade value...

Officially I see no announcement on his plans for the upcoming 2010 season but one would have to imagine that his storied career is almost at a close(unofficially he his retired). I loved watching this man play football and I would think even if you are a fan of other teams he is one player you can...

FA: Karlos Dansby(6'4",254) or Casey Hampton(6'1",325),Rashad Jeanty(6'2",247) expalinations- We can't afford Dansby AND Hampton.Nose Tackles of Hamptons abilities are severely hard to find,however Dansby is younger,and would be a longer option for us.Either way,we have to adress the...

Hi, everyone! :) Does anyone know if the Dolphins will tag any of their veterans as the franchise player for 2010? All I know is the Fins have until February 25 to tag a player, and he is considered in the Top 5 of league salary in his position. Thank you. :ponder::dolphins:

Who is your favorite dolphin 2009-2010 season and why? and who do you think will be the big upcoming player next season and why?

Here is what I would do in the offseason. Resignings: - Davone Bess (4 year deal) - Anthony Fasano (Short term deal. 2-3 years) - Jason Taylor (Bargain price of course. If not, let him walk) - Will Allen (Short term deal 1-3 years) Two of these players I would resign would basically...

So i went into this season, even after reading how badly this kid did in training camps, before the regular season started, hoping Pat White was really going to impress. i also didn't know much about him before this season, so i did look up a lot of his highlight videos online, couldn't not like...

http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/football/miami-dolphins/story/1479168.html

So I am reading my ESPN the Magazine and I come across this. "Unrestricted Free Agents are likely to take a hit this offseason too. The Uncapped Rules limit them to raises totaling no more than 30% of their 2009 salaries. Also, the maximum Number of contractual bonuses that allow UFA's to...

I read an interesting comment about our new capologist, Dawn Aponte, on PFT and it struck me as a bit troubling. # Tamicka Jackson says: February 12, 2010 7:25 PM Dawn Aponte is an AWFUL hire by the Dolphins and messing up the Joey Porter transaction/March 5th rule is just going to be the...

People are saying that we cannot cut him until March 5. I was wondering if we could we cut someone on our team to create more cap space. We have many players on our roster that do not deserve to be on this team. That way we could cut Porter before the deadline and save our team from having to pay...

Marshall for our #12 Austin for our #12 Boldin for our 3rd Antonio Bryant - FA I really feel like this is a move that must be made. We can't take a chance that a second rounder will be a great pick for us. I know most of you don't like or believe in giving up picks but this is what we...

Ok so we just rid of joey porter which is great, we got cameron wake-channing crowder-jason taylor-rolento mcclain as our linebacker core. Mcclain should be brought in not only because of how bad our defense needs talent +youth but because how bad porter was. If we cant get rolento mcclain i still...

mh has shown that he won't tolerate counter productive actions or behavior from anyone when he shipped dawn aponte out of browns town. her "take it or leave it cribbs" attitude didn't go over well with mh. Aponte was the Browns' executive who characterized the club's most recent contract offer...

Just throwing this out there....how about Crowder for Bolden? If the Fins sign Dansby they maybe can explore this trade ....like i said just an idear

With Cameron Wake now getting alot more playing time with Porter gone, Do you think Nolan can get this guy to play like Dumervill did last season for Denver? If he does man will it be a big plus to our defense!

How much more do you hate him knowing we could have Patrick Willis playing LB. Revis at Corner , Griffin at safety, Dwayne Bowe, or Jon Beason. It amazes me how many mistakes our previous FO made. Culpepper over Brees could have been the biggest blunder in NFL history. I hope things have changed...

Now that Joey Porter is long gone. My question is, who is next? If my name is Gibril Wilson or Akin Ayodele Im worried. I have also heard Torbor might be a little to high prized for his limited play. Although with Sheridan as the LB coach he might stick. Mcdaniels recent arrest does not help him...

This will take care of our team needs. FREE AGENCY: Carlos Dansby - MLB, We need to make at least one splash in free agency and Dansby will be perfect for Miami. This will fill a huge need and will give us a playmaker. Ryan Clark - FS, I want Antrel Rolle so bad but will come at a huge...

Just Wondering..... Basically Since He Is Back Till March 1st, maybe we can work something out to trade him to Arizona where he wants to be anyways. We want Boldin and they want Porter. Maybe we give them a 5th with Porter or something Later. I know he wants to be in Arizona but if...

..........

So at the end of the whole offseason who do you think will be coming in and coming out...

After watching the ProFootball HOF selections and seeing former Viking John Randle get selected along with former Saints LB Rickey Jackson, it made me think this improves the chances of Zach Thomas and Jason Taylor being selected at some point. When you compare the careers of those players to...

not the biggest of news but something http://bleacherreport.com/articles/343709-miami-dolphins-waive-wide-receiver-brennan-marion

So what happened to Zach in Kansas, he didnt even play any pre season games? Is he done? or will he return to the NFL? Maybe with the fins for a day contract if so, so they can retire his jersey... any news??:ponder:

I keep hearing how people wouldn't want Boldin here because he doesn't have elite speed. We do not need a guy world class speed because we have Ginn for the deep stuff. Ginn will be better when not double covered. Boldin is the exact type of number one receiver we need. A big beast. Hes a little...

Dolfans Had this conversation with a friend of mine the other day, he was basically bashing Ted Ginn because Ginn was the 9th player drafted. He feels Ginn is soft,scared and not much good, I some what defend Ginn by pointing out that Ginn has value to a team because he can change a game...

Until today it was widely assumed by everybody that Porter's bonus was due March 1st...Therefore we had to release him by then. Well if what is written below (reported from ESPN)...We don't have to pay him until MARCH 10th. Meaning he is ours in open trade talks after March 5th. I think this...

http://www.miamidolphins.com/news/miami-dolphins-statement-joey-porter "The release of Joey Porter was determined to be an invalid termination. Therefore at this time, Porter reverts back to the Miami Dolphins roster." i guess its to the point. maybe they will elaborate at some point.

If Jason Taylor leaves the Dolphins & plays for the Patriots the last year or two of his career, would you still want him in the Dolphins Ring of Honor?

1. Trade Porter, Ginn & our 2nd round pick this year to Denver for Brandon Marshall. 2. Sign the following Free Agents: A. Karlos Dansby, ILB B. Antrell Rolle, FS C. Jason Ferguson, NT D. Chad Pennington, QB E. David Martin, TE F. Swing Tackle, T

Appears that he prefers to stay in the NFC East. Perhaps to try and prove he has something left. Here is the article from Rotoworld. http://www.rotoworld.com/images/teamlogos/NFL_sm/NYG.gif Antonio Pierce-LB-GiantsFeb. 12 - 12:12 pm...

Every day that passes from the day after the Super Bowl til March 5th and Porter has not been released, means that Parcells and co. are working on trying to find a possible trade for Porter. This would be good news if we are able to get something for Porter. So, at least, we can feel comfortable...

Hi All, This is a scenario that I believe to be realistic and would help us with glaring needs; 1) Target Dansby as ILB 2) Target A. Bryant as WR 3) trade down in 1st and get Dan Williams as NT With 2 2nd rounders get; 4) Ricky Sapp/Brandon Spikes/McCluster

what is the percentage we get him? just curious, We need him,

I was just looking at the world champion New Orleans Saints and I don't see a clear number one receiver on their squad. I don't even think they have one pro bowl receiver, they all just get the job done when their number is called upon. Sometimes breaking the bank and giving away drafts is not...

and what draft pick tender you would accept to sign the guy I think Tony Scheffler might be worth a 3rd round pick

Giants just released him PLEASE SIGN HIM. He is a good ILB

Dave George's biting Palm Beach Post Commentary essentially saying what the FO and many fans realize: Porter has become loudly irrelevant. excerpted from here: Commentary: Joey who? Pretty soon Porter will be a forgotten man in Miami

"When I consider the value that Pennington could bring to the 2010 Dolphins, I think of Don Strock. Strock made his name as a first rate relief pitcher, an invaluable part of the early 80s teams that went to Super Bowls XVII and XIX. Working together with a young David Woodley in what was known as...

I saw this on another sitte and it had Randall hill wr was our first rd pic of whatever year that was now and then we traded him to Arizona , but I didnt catch as to what we got for him and why we traded him. I am not finished with my stud of the dolphins draft but it sure seems like we had a...

I will start with Tashard Choice. On our end, Ronnie will be a free agent after this season and may not be worth what he will demand given his mounting injuries and inability to stay healthy an entire season. In addition, Ricky is committed to retiring after this year. That leaves a void in our...

the guy plays freaking RUNNING BACK the most physical, injury prone position on the field. How many back in the league each year end up on IR? im pretty sure its more than any other position. Beside what the hell is injury prone anyways? you cant control if some 300lb guard falls on your hand or a...

Since I havent seen much of his film, I decided to look up Mr. Hartline and found a few great video clips, hopefully not posted before. I can see what the trifecta saw in this guy - hes a playmaker and tough as any WR in the league. Heres a video from 07, pay special attention to the...

Watching the Saints parade has made me wonder where a Dolphins parade would be? Miami has some recent championships with the Marlins in 1997/2003 and the Heat in 2006. Were they all in the same location? I assume a Dolphins parade would be much larger. By the way the Saints parade is on cnn...

Would most people consider Bob Kuechenberg to be a better OG than Russ Grimm? Or was Russ Grimm that much better Kuech? I thought we would sooner see Kuech get in than Grimm. Anybody thinkin this too!??

i know i know....tired of hearing about it?? but i never knew this......i always thought it was Sabans Fault......... Fact: Nick Saban was so steamed Dolphins doctors would not clear team to sign Drew Brees it contributed to his departure from Miami. about 1 hour ago from UberTwitter ...

Floyd is a restricted free agent at the moment. From what i've heard, Floyd will recieve a secound round tender. Well at 6'5 he would make an ideal reciever for Miami. He averaged over 17 yards a catch. Just the one touchdown but still a very good player. His 13 catches over 20 plus yards is almost...

I know there is a HUGE chance there will be no cap next season (2010), and we can cut big salaries and sign FAs. BUT....what happens in 2011 when we have all these (HOPEFULLY) great players under contract and our pay roll is way over salary cap? I mean its very likely we will shed a ton of $ on...

Jake Grove explains his injury history in the following article and states that is not injury proned. Do you guys agree with this statement? I would label him as injury prone however would also label him one of the best when he does play so. ...

Here is an article about Brian Hartline and his upside. Scroll down and there is an interview with Hartline! Enjoy guys ...

..2011 I know the opponents are known in advance, but when are the times and dates released??
