    Always so much hope and most of the time im crushed by the fins. I will wait and hold on to my hope. But man i wish we would make some noise. I want this team to be elite.! A lot of high profile players already being rumored to miami so dont get ur hopes up because u no how this could end up. I hope we put together a dream team but its just not that easy.

    Don't see it happening unless we pay him big. He's not going to want to go in a rebuilding situation, he can sign for a contender right away. I can see the Colts' signing him especially since he and Pagano are close.

    Every time I hear the Dolphins being linked to these "Big Name" Free Agents it makes me think the Philadelphia Eagles and we all know how that worked out.

    I would see this like signing an aging Ronnie Lott or Steve Atwater. I'd be great help for a few years even if Reed isn't that young anymore.

    Thing is this is how Ireland would negotiate the deal: (the Money is off, but that's not the point)

    Reed: I'd love to play for Miami but I'd need at least 5 million a year.

    Ireland: Great! I'll give you $5 dollars.

    Reed: No thanks.

    This team is absolutely turnover starved and a hall of fame caliber safety who has an uncanny ability to be around the ball is a free agent? You have to make a call.

    Bring Clemons back. Reed is too old and does not fit. Great player, but I would rather have Clemons back.
