Dolphins Free Agency Rumors

[MikeO]

A couple tidbits I found today. Remember to take all of this stuff with a grain of salt as a lot of "mis-information" is floated out this time of year

According @BenVolinPBP if #Packers CB Sam Shields is tendered with a second round pick the #Dolphins could show interest.

Adam Schefter is reporting Sean Smith is the #1 Free Agent CB on the market this year

Ben Volin reports the Fins have a clear advantage over the Vikings in the race to land Mike Wallace but other teams (Cleveland and New England) will be in the mix

Charles Woodson - DB - Free Agent

Sources tell ESPN that the Seahawks, Dolphins, Jets and Giants are among the teams that have called to discuss free agent S Charles Woodson.

Woodson's agent is trying to drum up interest for his client. At age 36, he's expected to sign on with a contender that can offer him meaningful playing time. Therefore, we can throw out the Jets and Dolphins. Woodson is our No. 6 safety available now that Jairus Byrd has been franchise tagged.

After consulting with Sherlock Holmes, it has been determined that the "source" is "Woodson's agent."

Ben Volin reporting the Fins want to sign at least 1 more of their own guys before Tuesday at 4pm.

With Hartline now complete, Volin is reporting the Fins will now turn their attention to Jake Long and Matt Moore

Elementary my dear Watson.  Elementary.

Ben Volin reporting 0% chance Sean Smith returns. CB market is now flooded with talent after all the recent cuts. No need to overspend on anyone at that position.

(0% is kinda strong, Ben should have hedged his bet a bit and said 1%....lol)

[MikeO]

Free Agency essentially starts midnight tonight, Wallace could "agree to terms" to a deal with someone tonight but not sign it till Tuesday obviously. An announcement could be made tonight as well. Could see some news in the morning on that front on where he is going.

RUMOR making the rounds this afternoon the NFL world is Miami is going to offer Mike Wallace 6 years $75 mill. No word on how much guaranteed.

Mike Wallace prefers warm weather!

[EDGECRUSHER]

I love how the reporters speculate about player's weather preferences. How many people PREFER cold weather? While I am sure Miami is a million times nicer of a place to live in than say St. Louis, it only matters if the money is equal or that player lives in Miami and has family there.

If the North Pole had a team and they outbid all the other teams by $6 Million guaranteed a year, Peyton Manning would hold a press conference saying how excited he is to be an "Aurora Borealis" and wants to bring a championship home for Santa.

[MikeO]

Adam Beasley of the Herald reporting Jennings agent and Miami had very little contact on Saturday

[EDGECRUSHER]

I take that as a good thing. To me, Jennings is a name only at this point like Charles Woodson. Don't bid on names, bid on production.

San Fran interested in Sean Smith

Omar reporting Miami will sign a CB or Safety today he is hearing. Could it be Keenan Lewis from Pitt. Who was high school buddies with Wallace?!

Pitt hasn't talked to Lewis about a new deal yet.
