Kircus, Camarillo on edge of chopping block?

It seems as though the Dolphins might be in the market for another wide receiver or two before the season gets underway in September. According to Pro Football Weekly, the Dolphins will not settle for entering the season with the receiving corps that they currently have:

Not only does this mean the Dolphins are going to add a pass catcher or two, but also that one or two of the current receivers is going to be shown the door. A club insider tells us that the two most likely candidates to get axed are David Kircus and Greg Camarillo.

Like you, I'd love to know who this "club insider" is. After all, we all know that this regime doesn't want any information getting out. And because of that, I always take anything I hear like this with a grain of salt.

However, it would be disappointing if the Dolphins let go of Greg Camarillo in particular. He's a guy who, in limited action in '07, actually made some good plays. He seems to have reliable hands and run good routes. He, along with Davone Bess, are the two players I hope make the team to round out the wide receivers behind Ginn, Wilford, and Hagan.

One of the players that PFW mentions as a possible target is Terry Glenn. Glenn is currently under contract with Dallas but refuses to sign the injury clause that the team is demanding he sign. Some reports say Glenn has asked for his release. Whether or not this is true, it certainly bears some watching. Glenn and Bill Parcells are very close, going back to their New England Patriot days. The thing that worries me here is that: a) Glenn is too much like an older version of Ted Ginn; and b) Glenn would likely get hurt by like week 3 knowing our luck.

Thoughts on this? Would you be in favor of bringing aboard Terry Glenn? And are you against the idea of letting either Kircus or Camarillo go?

Oh, and a hit tip to Edgar for e-mailing me the PFW link.

Whatever

Neither one of them is going to be more than an adequate back up if that probably. If the bosses think they should go then send em packing. I’m with you on Glenn though, he doesn’t get me too excited really. Maybe we can get Keyshawn too? He’s still yapping about a comeback….........remember how well that worked out with Chris Carter?

Terry the Tutor

I would say sign Glenn for a one to two year deal. He can be our tutor to his protege Ginn while also mentoring Hagan and Bess. Camarillo will go down as a Phins savior but I think we would not only win more games with Glenn, he will provide that added edge for our younger receivers. Glenn is a playmaker when healthy. Hopefully he stays healthy.

Ginn, Wilford, Hagan, Glenn, and Bess would be a good corps to go into the season with.

Parcells should call him Theresa again

Unless thhats a no no in any potential contract.

Obviously

the Cowgirls have a reason for wanting him to sign an injury clause. I agree he’s a good tough receiver but that wont do us much good if he can’t stay on the field.

Keep Camarillo, Cut Kircus, Put Glenn on PUP (physically unable to perform)

Camarillo seemed to be wowing the media at the OTA’s with catches of the day. I don’t think Kircus is worth the trouble he will have to go through.
Not sure if Glenn is eligible for PUP at the beginning of the season. It would give him time to recover from his injury and Miami would have time to see if he is truly healthy before cutting anyone.

I have never really cared for Glenn

I think Camarillo might be able to develop into another Welker. Kircus probably has the most upside, but he has some off field issues and may be subject to suspension.

I think I would stick with Camarillo and Kircus for now, unless someone substantially better becomes available.

I'm with DolphDallas

keep Camarillo (despite his name being similar to The One Whose Name We Don’t Say). and dump Kircus. If we have to add another WR, sign one of the UDFA’s we brought in to a 1year deal, whether its Lymon or Wynn, if they’re still around. No need to add Glenn because he will just take balls that should be going to Wilford, Ginn, Hagan, or Bess. We have a very young WR corps, and we need them to get comfortable with our young QB, whoever it ends up being down the road. Glenn basically just puts off the development of one of those guys during the next couple down years. Then, when this team is ready to compete in the playoffs, we have a WR with no experience who should’ve gotten quite a few game reps the previous two seasons.

Waste of a pickup in my mind. We can win 4 or 5 games with the guys we have, or 5 or 6 with Glenn…. it’s not worth the experience factor for the young guys.

Matt Jones

Matt Jones is expected to be released by the Jaguars according to Sporting News. I dont have a link because i read it in a magazine but he would be released somtime during the pre season. Matt Jones never really panned out the way Jacksonville would have liked but hes a first round draft choice and probably wont be too expensive because hes being cut right before the season begins. Anyone else thinks he worth it?

Perhaps if Matt Jones was willing to convert to TE

I think he would make a good tight end and you know Parcells never seems to have enough of them.

I doubt it..

Word from Chris over at bigcatcountry is Jones hates contact. I had the same thought before hearing that.

dolphins receivers

I know this is off the subject but can anyone tell me what happened to Chad Johnson? I thought he was interested in coming to Miami?( last I heard this was months ago) I would prefer if we kept Camarillo, he is a good route runner and deserves something for single handedly winning our only game last year.

From Radio Interview with Jeff Ireland:

http://blogs.sun-sentinel.com/sports_football_dolphins/2008/06/wqams-dolphins.html

As for the present concerns, he admitted to working out a receiver on Wednesday and said the Dolphins presently have “decent depth” there, but seemed concerned about how young the group was. It seems like the Dolphins would like to find some veterans leadership at receiver.

He also singled out David Kircus, Jayson Foster and Davone Bess as young receivers who impressed him during OTAs. I second the Kircus endorsement. He speculated that Bess might be a young receiver they can “hang your hat on for a little while.”
