RUMOR: Dolphins close to re-signing Carey?

Take this with a grain of salt, everyone.  But WQAM's Orlando Alzugaray is reporting that the Dolphins and tackle Vernon Carey are getting close to reaching a new contract - keeping Carey in Miami and preventing him from testing the free agent waters.

But remember, this is just a radio report.  And Alzugaray said that he's "heard" that the two sides are close.  So that sounds very unofficial - so don't get too excited yet.  The fact that I haven't seen this reported anywhere else also leads me to be wary of this report.

You can tune into Orlando's show on WQAM at their website.

**UPDATE 3:56 pm**: Orlando Alzugaray just closed his show by saying:

"There could be something happening very soon between the Dolphins and Carey."

God i hope that is true!!!

Not only would it solidify our line, and keep the chemistry going, but it also means we can use the franchise tag on Bell, which would be about 2 million cheaper than if we tagged Carey. Also, even if it is something that was “Heard”, i’m sure Adam Schefter will report it tonight on Total Access. By the way did anyone see last nights Total Access? They had Porter on to talk all things Dolphins, including the top 10 Phin’s plays of the year.

Now is the time- the time to rise up from the depths of Hell and stake our claim back on top of the AFC East...Look out Gaytriots here comes Jake Long and the Phins

That'd be a major coup!

So does that mean Bell might get tagged?

I hope this happens

Signing Carey will help the Dolphins not have to worry about the RT position in FA. Yes there are other RT better than him, and a draft pick could end up better. But hes a player that we know what we get from him year in and year out, and I rather not take the chance of him leaving. We could miss out on a better player, but there is more potential of landing a player that does not work out. Great move if it happens.

I hate Adam Schefter

We Must

Get Vernon back I dont care what it takes we need a solid line and having Vernon just leaves one less hole to fill now we can focus on Center,I dont think anyone we have is worth putting the tag on though including Vernon and Bell.Bell we should give a 2-3 year offer too he is getting up there and has not been the healthiest cat in the alley really it’s easy to make all those tackles when your getting the ball trown all over you(not all over Bell just in general)but I wish Bell could have at least had a few picks under his belt.

Foy,

I hate to disagree with you about the int’s but i have to. Had Yeremiah Bell NOT gone for the pick in the Houston game, Miami first, would have won the game, and second would not have to wait on an all or nothing game up in New York, to win the division, and get into the playoffs. I know things happen for a reason but WTF???? They are definitely the heart attack kids. Truthfully, i don’t care if he ever gets an INT, as long as he continues to excel at stopping the run, and also learns to knock the damn ball down. On that play in particular, he all but had the pick, and of course as always, it has to be a player from the U, Andre Johnson,out-muscled him for it, and they scored on that BS run by Schaub in the last couple of seconds to go in the game. I HATE THE TEXANS!!!!!!

Now is the time- the time to rise up from the depths of Hell and stake our claim back on top of the AFC East...Look out Gaytriots here comes Jake Long and the Phins

more of an incredibly stupid play by Bell

We tend to forget that there were games in which our secondary just SUCKED. But seriously like a division 1 AA college team, there were games in which they just plained out sucked, they couldnt stop anything. Cardinals game, 1st Bal game, 2nd Patriot game, KC game (that one was just amazing)
