Report: Dolphins "will pay" Karlos Dansby

PrintIn what will likely be the first of many rumors of the next week and a half leading up to the start of free agency on March 5, Greg A Bedard of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel is hearing at the Scouting Combine that the Dolphins really want Cardinals free agent LB Karlos Dansby. ProFootballTalk highlights the following tweet from Bedard, who is in Indianapolis at the Combine:
First combine buzz: Word on the street is Dolphins will pay Cardinals LB Karlos Dansby.
Well alright then.
Who knows if this has any truth behind it or if it's just more speculation or "misinformation" that runs rampant this time of the year. Of course, we did talk at length about the potential of the Dolphins making a play for Karlos. And in that post, I highlight what Dansby himself said on a Miami radio station - publicly declaring his interest in playing for the Dolphins (and who can blame him).
So food for thought as you all head off to bed tonight. In just over a week, could the Dolphins be inking a shiny new inside linebacker?
Hat tip to "qbinfin" and "special agent wildcat."

Guys, this is just a stat!
or better yet, almost a trivia
Which ILB have 12 LESS tackle than ours 2 ILB combine?
Ur guest is right!! Dansby! We can focus now on Dez or bring another elite ILB from the draft,maybe a NT ; )
BTW we can bring Card FS too, he wasnt out of the Cards and is a Miamisian(?) lol
I will see the Dolphins win a SUPER BOWL before i die(22 years and counting)
sorry about my spanish ; )
i meant FS wants out : (

Dansby would be an upgrade but is the price too much.
Dansby may be an improvement but I question if it would be a big enough improvement for what he is going to cost. Do we give big money for Dansby who is not a big run stopper or do we try for someone that we think could be that all encompassing stud we need shutting down the middle. Our draft will be decided by the free agent Defensive pick ups we make. This will be a D heavy year with a few offensive spots filled after the D is taken care of. That pretty much tells me that Dez (Who may be another over hyped WR) will be on someone Else’s team. If we don’t get Dansby then McClain will be at the top of the list barring an early draft day shakeup.
I love Dansby bring his ass to Miami also witht hsi we could draft a superstar NT or RB or WR or OLB weeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

OMG!!
Im so pumped right now, but to play devils advocate we arent the only franchise interested in Dansby.
Though it is exciting to think of all the possibilities if we do sign him.
Whos saying trading down?
If Mcclain fall to us, we could trade with the Giants(15 overall) cause they NEED and WANT him,remember that they dont have a ILB now. This is SO sweet

SIGN KARLOS AND......
DRAFT MCCLAIN!!!!!!!!!!

dansby
if the phins do sign dansby, then i would be all for taking williams(ng) from tenn with the 1st pick…mcclain plays same position as dansby, therefore take and olb with the 2nd pick…such as kindle from texas…get dansby, williams and kindle ..defense looks better already..then focus on wr in 3rd round….price from ohio university would be a good pick.
SIGN KARLOS, DRAFT MCCLAIN!
SIGN KARLOS, DRAFT MCCLAIN!
Might be something there
I’ve even thought about just stacking the ILB’s. We will have to see how McClain performs at the combine but if we get a ture vet like Dansby and an ILB with tons of potential which Dansby can mentor we will be incredible.
SIGN DANSBY
then draft Dez Bryant

Crowder is still a formidible #2 ILB. We should be singing "Sign Karlos, Draft Kindle"
Ronnie Brown is the man
exactly
sign ilb dansby, then get williams with #1, take kindle in 2nd rd, if hes gone get witherspoon
Well,
McClain is 6’4" 260 lbs and is a “stud” I’m sure he could play OLB and be a great coverage and rush LB. Remember as good as Wake is at rushing the passing, its hos coverage skills that keeps him from starting.

That was last year's assessment of Wake a lot can change between now and Training Camp.
Also there’s a reason he never saw the field. remember Mr Drama Queen. He kept him from getting the playing time he needed and was unwilling to help him.

I can remember when I was in my second or third season playing Rugby. I believe it was like the third game in and something happen. Like you hear alot of people say the game just slowed down for me.
My vision was widened. It was like the blinders came off and I could see wholes open up and then (BOOM). My third concussions in two years. I woke up the next morning on the couch with my fiance shitting bricks. She had called her parents down because I refuse to go to the hospital. She said I was like a broken record just repeating myself.
Anyway like I was saying just like with Henne at least hopefully Wake there will be atime where the game will slow down for him and we’ll have one of the best LB crew for a many a year.
Have any of you had that same experience with any of the sports you’ve played. It’s kind of craz y because it’s literally like a switch goes on in your head and everything becomes clearer for you.

I'be fine with that!
McClain, Crowder, Dansby, Wake – That could be a bad-ass Lb core.

the reality of the situation is
the tuna’s top free agent choice really aren’t know until 12:04 am of free agent period… the last 2 years we’ve hear plenty of talk of who they like and their signings rarely match those rumors… Smiley, Starks, and Grove come to mind…before we even get into all the ’ ESPN MORT’ reports. if anyone is leaking this, it’s well likely agents…
all that said is Dansby better then anyone the phins have… you betcha but then again that aint much of a hill to climb.
The Future is now, stop the bandwagon and lets get the Henne train rollin, as we all hope that the 14th dwarf is the real prince charming.
Thats because we didn't really have a team back then, LOL!
Too many dog-gone holes to fill.

and 2 years later?
well the QB might finally be set (granted that’s a B I G might) the o-line is looking better, but they still net a RT so they can move a declining VC inside… and then they have to hope the CB’s work out and then they just need
a NT, a d-lineman who can get pressure, 3 LB’s if wake works out, 4 if he doesn’s… 2 safeties, a TE who can stretch the field, a number 1 receiver, a long term solution at RB, and a playmaker or two on offense and defense…
and I don’t know if it’s just having a guy who might be the next QB or i’m just getting old timers …. cause things seem better until you list the needs….

drafting a offensive player in 1st round would be retarded.
It seems like Dansby and Miami is a match made in heaven. I still say drafting Mcclain with our 1st pick is the smartest move we can make. Some of us in here are a little too much in love with Channing Crowder. Pickup Dansby, Draft Mcclain and pickup a OLB and DT later in the draft. There’s plenty of WR’s we can get with our 2nd round pick and 3rd round pick. But getting a guy like Rolando to match Karlos inside would be insane. Yes our Pass Rush needs a boost but Wake should be able to pounce if he has those 2 next to him along with Randy on the line.
ALL FOR DEFENSE IN THE DRAFT!
Perfect
Now Darryl Sharpton is the perfect companion for grooming.
Sign this guy, asap. I’m kind of hoping for another “midnight hour” signing, screw tampering. Bring Karlos home.
I’ll buy his jersey if he comes here.

bienvenido a miami kalito
after taking care of ILB, top priority – NT and OLB
followed by WR + FS
another ILB (rookie)
OG depth, TE, RB
Really hoping this happens...
I don’t want to get too excited – but this would be HUGE ! We simply must get at LEAST 2 news linebackers – 1 ILB, & 1 OLB – but this is a MINIMUM of what we need. Honestly we need 3 new starters next to TAYLOR… Yea – I would replace CROWDER too. Problem is we are stuck with him right now most likely. He is just better than average…. and we just resigned him. Taylor is probably not an “every down” player anymore but might hold up for 1 more year. WAKE hopefully can prove “starter” material this year, but might just be an extra PASS RUSHER… so we are back to bringing in MC CLAIN along with Dansby (HOPEFULLY) and still drafting at least 1 more LB – OLB or ILB…
IF they sign Dansby – I would be OK with drafting DEZ BRYANT and using the 2nd round to get another LB…
40 Year FIN FAN
DRAFT a #1 WR now.........
@62Lou
Crowder has his flaws but he is stoud vs the Run.
Dansby is solid but not spectacular vs the Run.
Duo of Crowder & Dansby would give us the best of the best – run and pass
with a good FS we should be able to get rid of our TE DREAMLAND -tag
sick scenario
FREE AGENCY
ILB Dansby
FS Rolle
DRAFT
- trading down
ILB Wheaterspoon
OLB best available player
NT Thomas
RB Blount
FS Rolle
TE Jimmy G.
+ 1-2 WR
+ OG depth
drop Ayodele, move Gibril Wilson back to SS
Wheaterspoon
i have to admit i have a football-crush on that guy.a
by adding Dansby and Wheaterspoon
- if Crowders knees get worst Wheaterspoon could replace him and give us an atlethic duo
- if Crowder knees heal up Wheaterspoon could play OLB or replace Crowder on passing downs
The dolphins will pay Dansby?
I’d read it to mean more along the lines of, the dolphins ‘can’ pay Dansby.
Will they or won’t they?
Who knows really.
What I am sure of though is that FA starts in about 8 days and the draft goes in around 56.
Till then, lots and lots of chatter, most of it wild speculation but some genuinely true, to fill the NFL news waves….
NAt! u have to admit
this is a HELL of a speculation. If it comes tru,e we r a couple of step foward into a Championship caliber team ; )
I will see the Dolphins win a SUPER BOWL before i die(23 years and counting)

That VBF (yeah, I went there……) from Photography is not a Crime could blame him….

WHAT WILL NOT HAPPEN
But would be so sick……1. Pay Dansby whatever he wants 3 or 5 yr(Uncapped this year Ross needs to spend some money). 2. Trade for Marshall, or Boldin(more likely) but PLEASE dont get A. Bryant. He had one good year with 83 rec and is always hurt. BESS almost had that many LOL Use a 3rd draft pick and dangle Ginn, Camarillo, Thigpen, or even Pennington or just get extra picks for the draft by making roster space. 3. If we got a LB & WR in FA, We could take best LB or TRADEDOWN and get ANOTHER 2nd, higher 1st, Either NT if no LB. Sergio Kindle looks better than Mclain, and I also like Dan Williams, Brandon Spikes, and sad to say who we would never pick up Dez Bryant. In my mind if we dont accquire a TRUE #1 reciever via TRADE, we should NOT draft another person to fight for the 2nd spots???? IS ANYONE WITH ME
Dansby to Miami:
Securing Karlos Dansby would be terrific. It would give us a lot of flexibility in the draft especially with the #12 pick. My draft plans (assuming Dansby deal goes through is):
1. Trade our #12 down with Arizona for # 26, Bolden, and AZ’s #91 (4th round)
2. RD-Cam Thomas-DT
3a KOA MISI-DE/OLB
3b AJ Edds-ILB
4a Dennis Pitna-TE
4b Kyle Calloway-ORT
6a Myron Rolle-FS/SS
6b Walter Thurmond-CB
6c Joe Pawelek-ILB
7a John Estes-OC
7b Robert Vaught-FS/SS-
Anyone know the specifics of the cap savings if Players are cut this year.
For example Joey Porter would that be 4.8 in cap savings. Is there a link
which shows cap savings by position since this will likely be an uncapped
year?
