The Dolphins Make Me Cry.com - Forums

Instead of starting a new thread for each guy or little news bit I will just start this general thread to throw everything in

Latest "rumor" is Colin Kaepernick is on the trade block and SF is looking to move him. SF's GM is denying the rumor and saying it isn't true.....but SF's track record of denying rumors isn't the best

In other SF news, Patrick Willis expected to announce his retirement

Jake Long cut by the Rams.

We can say it all together now.....LONG IS A BUST!

The Ghost signed his tender with the Pats. 

I was thinking if it would have been good for Miami to make a run for him.

Another in a Long (all puns intended) line of extremely talented football players who simply couldn't take the pounding you get in the NFL and ended up having their career cut short.

Is Long still a viable player at all for the right price? 

What a good decision not to hold on to him. 

No, he is done.

Colts trying to sign Andre Johnson and Frank Gore today

Careful - you're getting awfully close to giving Jeff Ireland credit for a good decision.  Watch your step...

Gore will sign with the Colts its being reported. Andre Johnson flying into Indy tonight.

Trent Cole also signed with the Colts today

Glad we passed on Matt Ryan for him...  ::)

He's a bust too.

^^^ sure

...and a ginger

^^ lol. You win.

He's a ginger? You're sure you're not talking about Dalton?

What do YOU think?

Oh my! My tv set has been lying to me this entire time!

BLOCKBUSTER TRADE GOING DOWN!!!

From Jay Glazer: The Saints and Seahawks are trying to finalize trade Jimmy Graham and a 4th rounder for Max Unger and Seattle first rounder

that is a blockbuster .. and not at all good for the saints

Rams and Eagles swap QB's via trade.

Bradford for Foles (others involved in trade but those are the main players)

Pats saying they think Revis is going to the Jets

Rumors have been that Chip wants a different QB but does he think Bradford is the upgrade he needs?

They also swapped first round picks in that trade. If Chip is now siting at 10 he is working his way up to #2 to get Mariota!

Mark Sanchez!!!

Revis to the Jets 5years/70mil

Was hoping the Pats could get him back

Percy Harvin in Buffalo meeting with Rex

Colts land Andre Johnson.

They are really going after it by cutting an over-the-hill UM receiver and signing a different over-the-hill UM receiver.

I wouldn't pay that much for Revis, no matter how good he is

Clay flying to Cleveland. Looks like Bills or Browns for him.
Rumor is Vince Wilfork to Indy or Houston
Demarco Murray has Phily and Oak chasing him.
Browns might trade one of their first round picks for Sam Bradford...yes, don't know why. I guess they almost had a deal with the Rams for him yesterday and are still chasing him

 

That was an early rumor, but they didn't actually swap first round picks. The way the trade broke down was...

The Rams get: Nick Foles, plus Philly's 4th round pick this year and 2nd round pick next year.

The Eagles get: Sam Bradford, plus St. Louis' 5th round pick this year. Philly can also get a conditional pick next year, dependent on Bradford's playing time this year. If he plays more than 50% of their offensive snaps, Philly gets no compensation pick. If he plays less than 50%, Philly gets St. Louis' 2016 4th round pick. If he doesn't play at all, Philly gets St. Louis' 2016 3rd round pick.

The Saints trade Jimmy Graham away less than 10 weeks after they hired Jeff Ireland as part of their front office as a Scout and Special Adviser...hmmmmmm

Not FA news, but the Giants gave Coach Tom Coughlin another year extension on his contract so he's not a lame duck.

The Bills let their TE (Chandler) go, so they must be close to signing Clay.

They've also been courting Anthony Fasano.
The fact that Clay left Buffalo to go to Cleveland without a deal in place isn't a good sign for them.

Percy Harvin to the Bills

Reggie Bush visiting with the Pats

Best thing of this offseason. The Jets entered as a team with a ton of cap space. They sign Revis, Cromartie, Gilchrist, and Skrine and the Jets gave a ton of money away and in one part of the team and they will be back in cap hell very soon

Reggie Bush to SF

Greg Jennings CUT by Minny

Does Jennings have anything left?  I wonder if he would fit Lazer's scheme.

He is only 31 and he put up decent enough numbers two years in Minny with NO decent QB throwing him the ball really. He runs strong routes. I mean he isn't going to break the bank. So for what you have to pay he is probably worth kicking the tires on

I'd definitely consider him.  He's a number one receiver and if the Dolphins draft Parker or Cooper, he can serve as a mentor

If we're kicking tires on old receivers, Reggie Wayne would be higher on my list than Greg Jennings.

Jennings can still play. Wayne is shot.

I love Reggie, one of my favs. But he's done.

If Wayne had anything left Indy wouldn't have let him go. Dude is finished

Hard to understand that Wayne is finished but Jennings has value...?  Jennings hasn't been a viable threat since he left Green Bay.  Maybe before.

Wayne had MAJOR knee surgery 2 years ago and wasn't the same player last year. No burst, no speed, no seperation

Jennings had garbage QB's in Minnesota which is the reason for his lack of stats

Jennings' alibi is that he had garbage throwing him the ball.
What's Wayne's excuse?

Count me in with those who think that Wayne is washed up.

Reggie Wayne was rated the 214th best WR in the NFL last season. Jennings? 65th.

I'm surprised on both ends of that statistic, honestly.

According to Pro-football-reference:
2014 stats

#47 Reggie Wayne - 64 catches for 779 yards and 2 TD
#59 Greg Jennings - 59 catches for 742 yards, and 6 TD

To me, they are the same player.  Reggie Wayne is 5 years older.  Jennings hasn't been productive since 2011 (949 yards), Wayne since 2012 (1355 yards).

Based on nothing but observation,  I'm not sure one gives a major advantage over the other.

You're looking at raw stats. The rankings I provided take into account plays where the ball was not thrown at the player, run blocking etc. It is an analysis based on every single snap.

Again, Luck vs. Ponder/Cassel/Bridgewater.

Eric Decker didn't magically become much worse last season.  He went from Peyton Manning to Geno Smith.

Randy Starks signed with the Browns

Cecil Shorts signed with Houston

so did wilfork

Stevie Johnson to the Chargers

Bowe signed with the Browns

Signed Bowe and Hartline, making it less likely they go WR in the 1st round.

Agree. They will go Dline and O-line or package up and move up for Maroita if he falls I think

Good...I want to see all of the teams in the top 13 that need WRs sign lots of FA WRs. Let one or two of those tasty rookie receivers slide towards Miami and San Francisco.
