Dolphins make a number of roster moves, including the release of Wilford and the trade of two linemen

Whenever I'm not around for a period of time, news breaks. Today has been no different - with the Dolphins making several roster moves.
The Dolphins announced that they have waived Anthony Kimble, Orion Martin, Chris Williams, Tearrius George, and Joe Cohen. They also terminated the contract of Ernest Wilford - last season's bust from free agency.
Meanwhile, several sources are reporting that the Dolphins have traded backup guard Andy Alleman to the Kansas City Chiefs. But that's not all. Jeff Darlington is also reporting that backup lineman Ike Ndukwe was also sent to Kansas City in that package. But it's unknown what the Dolphins have received in return from the Chiefs - who are now run by Bill Parcells' son-in-law Scott Pioli.
This means the Dolphins currently have 11 offensive linemen on the roster battling for what will likely result in 9 roster spots.
Getting back to Wilford, his release will cost the Dolphins $4.5 million against their 2009 salary cap thanks to the guaranteed money the Dolphins handed Ernest last offseason. But the Fins clearly felt that keeping him around because of his contract wasn't worth the loss of a roster spot for a young guy with a lot of upside - potentially John Nalbone.
As far as former fan-favorite Chris Williams goes, he was waived/injured - not just waived. So if he goes unclaimed on waivers, he will be placed on Injured Reserve for the year with the Dolphins. While players on IR can't practice with the team, he would still be property of the Dolphins and could work out individually to improve his ability to field punts.
[UPDATE: The Dolphins are receiving an undisclosed draft pick in 2010 for the two guards.]

Man, poor Cohen, I was hopeing he would beat out Ellis.
We should have traded Wilford, would have saved us money, right?
Maybe a 5th or 6th round draft pick for the two lineman?

Who do u think we got
Any chance of a Zach Thomas/Pat Surtain reunion?
Zach would be able to sub with Ayodele in that ILB run stopping position. This is our weakest LB spot, Akin is good but we all saw that missed tackle against Deangelo which gave him a TD.
And is Surtain still on the squad, I feel he’d be a great replacement for Green’s gum-chewing scrub ass. Plus he’d be an unbelievable mentor to the 2 rooks.
We’ll probably just get a linemen and/or draft picks but i’d def welcome those 2 possibilities of a Miami reunion.

I think Surtain's a free agent, idk?
There’s no chance in getting Zach back, we’d have to give them a 3rd round pick with these guys to get him.

although its doubtful. having zach and or surtain back would def give the defense another level of energy, IMO

You guys don’t want Patty, he looked pretty poor as a Chief. You probably don’t want Thomas either since he hasen’t practiced for a month or more.

I hope that we have some inside info on a couple of vets that will get cut.

Pleased with other backups not the starters .....
I think it says they are more impressed with Murphy’s progression and Joe Berger as a solid backup than the concern of there injury history. IMO Ike and Alleman would have been cut so even if we get a 6th round pick this is a great trade.

It's painful to say this, but I think Camarillo, will be traded or released.
I don’t think it will happen but, him and Bess share the same skills. Why should we have two guys with the same skills on the team.
I hope this doesn’t happen, because Greg is a great player. However, he’s slowly falling down the depth chart.

Out of London, Armstrong and Turner, which do you cut and which do you keep?
London. . .needs work, good special teamer with lots of potential
Armstrong. . .hard worker, also with potential
Turner. . . Much upside, but hasn’t really brought it in the preseason games.
I’m guessing: Ginn, Hartline, Bess, Camarillo, and London.

theres a need for widerecievers
who can have 50 catches in 11 games.
hes young, and still has upside.
id rather keep him, but im just pointing out that he does have some value.

I agree
I think he’s great. I like him a little better than Bess. The knee is not as big an injury as it used to be. I think that he will be a Patriot if we let him go. I just have a gut feeling that we will not get what he really is worth because of the knee. I think he is worth a 3rd round pick.

omg....Hartline is amazing.
When we drafted him, I doubted him. Now he’s starting. But that was only one game. Bess will be starter.
Disappointed in Turner, did such good things in TC, but hasn’t shown anything.
Armstrong, will be on the PS again.
London, made some catches this preseason.
It’s between Turner and London. If Turner can do stuff on special team, he’ll make it.
Wow this is tough.

Love your posts, Matt!
As for the roster, why wouldn’t they possibly go with 6WRs? After last year and having so little depth at the position, it’s a nice bonus to possibly have Ginn,Bess,The Hero,Turner,Hartline and London on the squad…It would be a shame to lose Armstrong if they can’t sneak him onto the PS, but its a crowded field.
Btw, good riddance Wilford!

Well we're at a cross road
You stay up or go to bed.
If you stay up you drink/chug (whicheer you perfer) 2 energy drinks. Then proceed to 10 jumping jakcs and a cartwheel. You’ll stay up almost permanently.
If not, you can always use a hammer and proceed to get your lights punched out. (Not reccomended)

Gotta love picking up trash and turning it into a draft pick...
2 Lineman we picked up when we needed ANYONE…..turned them into servicable players….yet they cant make the team because late drafted OLine guys are showing they are 2nd team ready.
The way we draft….we just turned 2 3rd team OLine guys into a future talented player.
Hopefully its a 5th rd pick or better….that would be sweet. Good deal for the Chiefs…giving up a late pick for 2 guys you can fill in isnt a bad deal…
Just keep stock piling the picks….imagine what this 3rd draft will yield?
I love the fact that we got Gardner late….huge man…..cheap pick….playing well…lots of college experiance…and Murphy is right there as well.
