Plax another WR who would LOVE to play for the Phins

Layuma — Wed, 27 May 2009 12:41:35 -0000

Former Giants receiver Plaxico Burress, who has a residence in Miami, has told people he would love to join the Dolphins if his legal problems are resolved. The Jets and Buccaneers are reportedly interested. Burress will appear in court next month and faces the possibility of a 3 ½ year sentence for carrying an unlicensed firearm.

WOW! this is great, the Dolphins off an amazing turn around, the Miami-Herald is stating, that Plaxico has told friends he would love to play for the Phins. Give him a one-year contract (maybe 2), based on behavior and certain invectives. He will come very cheap... Lets do this!

• The Dolphins, who have shopped John Beck, brought Fresno State quarterback Tom Brandstater (a potential midround draft pick) to their headquarters last week . . . The Dolphins made an offer to free agent cornerback Demarcus Faggins, and ''it's a possibility'' he could sign, agent Robb Nelson said. The Titans and the Browns are also in the mix.

Slowly but surely Jason Allen is being buried deeper & deeper.... can we offically call him a BUST?

Another Cowboy Bites the DUST - Cut R.Williams

Layuma — Thu, 05 Mar 2009 15:59:14 -0000

After attempts to trade the five-time Pro Bowl safety failed, the Cowboys decided to release Williams, their No. 1 draft pick in 2002. Williams confirmed his release Thursday morning in a text message.

By cutting Williams, the Cowboys save roughly $2 million in salary-cap space in 2009 and close the book on a player who was once the face of the franchise.

Grove signs 5-year deal

Layuma — Tue, 03 Mar 2009 13:16:31 -0000

The PBP is reporting that Jake signed a 5-year deal lastnight. details where not given... a deal this long could only mean he will surely be replacing Satele at the Center spot... don't you think?

The Dolphins hope to have answered their question at center tonight, agreeing to a five-year deal with Jake Grove, an NFL source confirmed.

Grove, 29, spent the past five seasons with the Oakland Raiders, starting 46 games for them since the team drafted him in the second round of the 2004 draft.

Adam Schefter: It’s worth pointing

Layuma — Thu, 26 Feb 2009 18:30:01 -0000

let me start off by saying... don't kill the messenger. And as much as i would hate to see it acutally happen... but the Phins did extend Cobbs to a contract and Ronnie should be back 100% from his knee injury.

Schefter pointed out the following: It’s worth pointing out that if Miami cuts running back Ricky Williams, the team will save $3.5 million against the salary cap. Is that worth it to the Dolphins?

Shaun Rogers wants out of Cleveland

Layuma — Wed, 25 Feb 2009 12:56:37 -0000

Wasn't Parcells after this guy or atleast rumored to be interested bigtime before he was traded away by Detriot? keep a close on on this guy fellas... if he does get his wish by the Browns and is let go (for cap reasons) or on the trade block could be a darkhorse.

NFL Network's Adam Schefter reports that All-Pro NT Shaun Rogers has grown so "disenchanted" with the new Browns regime that he's asked the team to not exercise his $6 million March option bonus.
The Browns deny Rogers demanded his release, but failing to pick up the bonus would make him a free agent. It would also cause Cleveland a $9.8 million cap hit. Eric Mangini has reportedly reached out to Rogers in hopes of changing his mind. The coach did the same in New York with Laveranues Coles, but clearly the Mangini-Kokonis era has gotten off to a rotten start.

Rumor: Phins to make Strong PUSH for J. Brown

Layuma — Tue, 24 Feb 2009 21:14:48 -0000

at first i ready this on Mando's blog... and i hardly take anything he says seriously, but know Jeff Darlington is reporting the Phins have been rumored thoughout the Combine to make a strong push for the FA Jason Brown:

According to Jeff Darlington of the Miami Herald, speculation "continued to build" at the Scouting Combine in Indianapolis that the Dolphins will pursue Brown as a replacement for Samson Satele.

Darlington writes that several league sources believe the Fins are hoping for Brown to not re-sign with the Ravens and to enter free agency on Friday.

A cynical mind might be tempted to think that the Dolphins already have been talking to Brown's agent, Harold Lewis, about a possible deal. Of course, such communications would constitute tampering.

Then again, last year the Dolphins had a deal in place with guard Justin Smiley only 27 minutes into the free-agency period.

Maybe this time around the Fins will be a bit more discreet, waiting at least until 1:00 a.m. EST on Friday.

February 20th, 2009 by Edgar Thompson

The Dolphins have locked up right tackle Vernon Carey to a five-year deal, an NFL source said, solidifying the tackle position for the team for the next several years.

The team's first-round pick in 2004, Carey, 27, has started 60 straight games for the Dolphins.

More to come in a bit.
