RECEIVERS ANYONE?




After yesterdays debaucle I kept thinking about how badly we need to replace Ted Ginn.  I mean honestly, I have not been impressed with since day one.  He seems to not do anything spectacular.  Not receive or return the ball.  He has yet to live up to the standards we have hoped for.  As I stand in front of my computer out to sea enjoying the oceans that I am sailing on board my beautiful ship (I am in the Navy, HOLLA!!).  I sometimes get time to look up some of the things that help occupy my thoughts through out the day.  I run throw the wide spectrum of fantasies I have of the Dolphins having these big name receivers.  Then I hear the ships whistle and I snap back to reality.  But like an omen on this very website I see something that gets my gears going.  Some article about Miles Awesome, I mean Austin.  So I asked myself, " Self when is this guy a FA?"  So i look it up and low and behold he is one at the end of this year.  So I was like wow.  How convenient.  I am sure Jerry Jones can't afford to pay all this money for another receiver.  Considering that Patrick Crayton and Roy Williams contracts could support a small city for a year or two.  So what are the chances of us getting him.  We can free up some money by getting rid of Teddy, maybe in a trade for a 5th rounder.  But if he continues in his amazing fashion, he will expect a big payday.  And I am sure that if Tashard Choice keeps performing he will ask for a raise too.  What do you guys think of making a play for Miles?  He is only 25, stands 6'3", weighs in a healthy 214 lbs, and hes a jersey boy. 

 

Scenario 2, someone throws a whopping amount of money at him and we decide he is too rich for our blood.  There is another viable option.  Someone just as fast as Ginn and probably can catch a few more passes than him.  Steve Breaston is an unrestricted free agent this coming year.  He is 6' and weighs in a decent 189 lbs.  He has a career 109 recptions and 1441 yards.  I think he would be an excellent replacement for Ted. 

Scenario 3:  We just draft someone.  There are a few options out there for us.  And to be honest I see us get a mid round pick.  I think the first two rounds will be spent on defense.  But some say that the tri-fecta will go offense in one of the first two rounds.  Who knows, they did draft Pat White.

Scenario 4:  Screw it.  Trade Ted for anything we can get and just develpo the guys we have around Chad henne.  That way they can build something together.  Bess is a beast (everyone is entitled to one bad game) and the other guys show promise.

These are two viable options that I think can come our way.  I wanted to see what my fellow PHINSIDERS thought of this and see which you prefer to see us get.

Jerry Jones won't let Miles get away.

He loves Miles Austin – he did even before he broke out this year.

Matty's right. Jerry always finds a way to keep his guys he likes and seeing as we may be on the

brink of a cap free year he may be able to keep all the guys he wants to keep.

Speaking of Cowboys free agents

I believe Demarcus Ware is a free agent after this year. Any chance he’ll come play for the man who drafted him?

Ted Ginn is the man.

by topspin on Oct 26, 2009 11:42 AM EDT reply actions   0 recs

No chance.

That’s their golden boy, he’s young and the best player they got. I feel like Jerry’s gonna lock him up for a while…if he’s smart.

by TEC75 on Oct 26, 2009 12:53 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

ZERO chance he is free!

Yep...

6 year/ $78 million contract. $40 million guaranteed.

We need to start Hartline

We might not know what we have until we start him. Look at Miles Austin, Sleeper until he started.

by g35phin on Oct 26, 2009 2:07 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

I say start him. He looked good on a couple of catches yesterday. He did run the wrong route

at one point but that is easy enough to fix. The guy seems determined.

Hartline is a good player

He blocks well, runs good routes and catches the ball… He doesn’t have an ounce of spectacular in him but he still is a good NFL WR

I probably know Judo! How many of you can make the same boast?

by Souwantmyname on Oct 26, 2009 2:57 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Which is still 10 times what we are getting from Ginn!

ANYTHING

is better than what we get from ginn. i have been demonized for talking shit about ginn during the offseason. but he sucks even worse than I thought he did. mr. ginn, i doubt you read this blog, but if you do, for once be a man, give back all the money the dolphins gave paid you and leave.

by TheCableguy on Oct 26, 2009 3:53 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Wow demonized? Thats a bit harsh! You were probably a victim of most of us

wanting to have faith in a guy when hes out best hope for a big play guy. I still had hope for him but I now thing the guy is worthless as a football player.

Crayton cant catch the ball either

I say this team really needs to make a splash for a true #1 in fa or the draft period or I say teach Ginn a lesson and de activate him and activate Turner and see if Turner can be that guy

by Foy on Oct 26, 2009 3:46 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

it just seems like this FO won't do that.

they seem against the idea of signing the high priced free agent. I agree on not overpaying a 30 or 31 year old receiver, but if there’s a guy that is 26-28, I say jump in and pay the man what he wants.

Maybe the FO is waiting for our team to be rebuilt and ready to contend before they add a big time, high-priced free agent

Dolphins and Gators baby!

I think thats the story. You dont dump big money on high prices free agents when you still

have several holes to fill. You do that when you feel like you are just one or two guys away from taking the next step.

by texascowpunk on Oct 26, 2009 5:23 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

But what will piss me off is if they sign

another mediocre, middle of the pack guy.

Isn't Vincent Jackson a free agent after the season?

Or did he get an extension? I haven’t heard anything, but he would be a good choice if the Chargers are dumb enough to let him go.

I think hes a FA this offseason.

he is but honestly. They have him and Chris Chambers

But there is a slight chance. This is also a contract year for Rivers
