Dolphins tender Ronnie Brown and Anthony Fasano

PrintRemember how it was reported a while back that Ronnie Brown was actually signed for the 2010 season in the event there was no salary cap? Well that wasn't entirely accurate. Instead it was actually an option that both the team and the player had to exercise. The Dolphins, however, did not exercise the $5 million option.
What the Dolphins did do was put the first round tender offer on Brown, paying him $3.97 million in 2010. Of course, as a restricted free agent, other teams can sign Brown to an offer sheet, at which time the Fins would have seven days to match. If Miami decided not to match, they would receive the signing team's first round pick in April's draft.
Considering Ronnie is coming off of his second season-ending injury in three years, it's hard to imagine any other team willing to give up a first rounder for a 28 year old back with a bit of an injury history. And by not exercising Brown's option, the Dolphins saved over a million dollars on their '10 salary. Smart move.
The Dolphins also used the "original round" tender on RFA Anthony Fasano. Fasano was a second round pick, meaning the Dolphins would receive a second rounder from a team hoping to sign the tight end away.

I agree awsome move
I would take a #1 for Ronnie and/or a 2nd for Fasano. And if there are no takers, it wouldn’t break my heart either.

Poor Fasano
Guess he didn’t get to break the bank this offseason. Maybe if he shows he’s worth a damn someone will pay him some money next time around. I hope someone takes him.
Great move by the Trifecta. Then again, I did say to do that so I am a little biased. Screw it, GREAT MOVE BY THE TRIFECTA! Now if we get lucky, someone takes Ronnie off our hands, gives us a first rounder (which we trade for more picks or use to draft Ronnie’s replacement).
NY Jets = NFL's Chicago Cubs
There's a fine line between hopeful and desperate. Just look @ Jets fans.
The Fasano tender was genius...
They did the original pick tender instead of the second round tender. In doing so, they saved close to $600K and would still get a second round pick as compensation.

Is TE more important
to upgrade then OLB, ILB or NT? We should pick one of those positions with the first round pick but the 2 positions left are more important to fill than TE.

Hhhmmmm, I can see it now.
Someone signs Ronnie and gives us their 1st, we send that first to Denver to get Marshall, we draft CJ Spiller to replace Ronnie, we draft Dansby, and maybe even get another 2nd rounder for Fasano which we can possibly use for Boldin.
This is going to get very interesting.

How is Bryant better than Marshall?
A complete unknown, with “character issues”…. compared to a top 5-7 WR in the league….both in their prime….one caught 100 passes last year, and the other played madden last season….
If this post contains no substance, just assume that my answer is Brandon Marshall. Pay the 1st and 3rd, get the proven guy, and don't worry about that position for the next decade.
Yeah, I don't understand that thinking.
Marshall has off field issues that I am hesitant of, but for just a 1st rounder I am willing to get him. But at least he is a proven good receiver in the NFL.
Bryant on the other hand also has issues, not legal issues like Marshall has, but issues with working hard and being committed. He has also not proven that he can make it in the NFL and could very well be a bust. I would rather go with the guy who has already proven himself than take a chance on a rookie who may or may not make it.

Because people will come up with all
kinds of crazy ideas and say that we should draft pretty much anyone in the draft. Bryant’s name was mentioned so much because he is considered the best receiver in the draft. But given the high bust rate for 1st round receivers and the reports of his laziness make me not want to draft him at all.

If the 1st rd pick is going to be used on a receiver
I would get Marshall over Bryant. Marshall is a veteran, and Bryant is an unproven player who by the way was SUSPENDED last season. Put Marshall in with Hartline, Bess and Camarillo. Ginn should just return kicks if he makes the squad this season. Plus I am curious to see what happens with Patrick Turner this year.

Well that about settles the Ronnie Brown question..
and should also eliminate the possibility of Spiller being a Dolphin.
Yes, technically it is possible that some team could sign Ronnie but that’s an awful high price: a first round pick to get for a 28 year old RB with a long history of injuries. But hey, if someone wants to pay a 1st for Ronnie, then go right ahead. In that case, a RB does become a possibility in the draft.

I'm wondering if we'll take less than a first in a trade..
hope for a team to sign him to an offer sheet at the 1st round tender, then field calls from teams that want him for less

I doubt anybody would take these guys at this price
but its still a great move. Saves the team some $ and you never know. Teams have made a lot of worse moves in the past. Imagine what we could do with an extra 1st & 2nd round pick in this draft, We could get Spoon, E. Thomas, C. Thomas and Washington in the first two rounds. Pick up a RB in the 3rd, either a TE or another LB in 4th. DAMN! I hope somebody takes them, I doubt it though.

Just sign Dansby, and trade a 3rd round for boldin, draft williams for the nose tackle and if by chance someone picks up ronnie then we can either trade that #1 down for a late #1 and # 2 , pick up a good running back in the late 1st and good linebacker in the 2nd Lots of options with this move,, I cant wait to see what the Trifecta does in the free agency. All it will take is 3 or 4 of the right moves and we very well could be ligitiment Superbowl contenders. GO DOLPHINS
Good Move...
I can see Fasano being picked up, and 2nd round pick would be cool. Although with a lot of running backs on the blocks already like Westbrook, T. Jones, and L.T., I think it is safe to say Ronnie will be in Miami for 2010.
If I'm a chicken, you're a turkey....
If Ronnie goes, I'll miss him.
He made the Wildcat go, and I liked the way he ran in a crowd. But I understand the situation and totally trust the Trifecta. But, Ronnie is a class-act and hooked me up with a pair of tickets to the last home game last season after hanging out at his radio show like 5 times……..class-act !!!!

Akin can go, or be a back-up,......I don't care. I like Fasano, but if we can upgrade the TE position.......I trust the Trifecta !!!

Ronnie Brown
What scares me the most is that NE is in need of a RB.
Do you think they will want to surrender a first for him??

I don't they will, but somebody might. And, two 1st rounders for the Trifecta.........they would be in heaven.
It seems like a smart business move, but I would hate to see him go on one hand. On the other hand, I feel like his injury prone…..
I know this much, I glad I’m just a fan and don’t have to make these decsions…..

I know. I love what Ronnie has meant to this team but its hard to argue with the logic
of letting him go for a first rounder.

Ronnie will cost picks...
There are some good backs out there for just money, I don’t think the Pats would give up their sacred picks for someone who embarassed them….

Ronnie B.
It would be a sad day to lose Ronnie – but really for a middle to high 1st rounder you would just HAVE to let him go. This team is still rebuilding, and we have 4 core players – CHAD HENNE, JAKE LONG, V. DAVIS, S. SMITH, ……THAT I WOULD NOT TRADE…. almost anyone else could be traded for the right price – including Ronnie, because backs get OLD, fast in the NFL. Ronnie still has a few great years left – but a FIRST ROUND pick should have the “Value” equal to a 5-year starter, if you can’t find that your FRONT OFFICE screwed up the pick…. I think we should try to TRADE PHILLIP MERLING – If we could get a second back for him – we could fix a LOT of our LB problems in this “linbacker deep” draft. Merling has NOT lived up to his “FIRST PICK” in the SECOND ROUND status. (#33) RANDY STARKS is the better player, and someone might give you a second round pick for MERLING.
WHAT DO YOU ALL THINK ABOUT TRADING DE MERLING ?

DRAFT a #1 WR now.........
Ronnie goes to the Chargers
I see the Chargers biting on Ronnie. That would give us the #28 pick in the draft. Brandon Marshall is well worth that pick so trade it for him. Trade down with the number 12 to #17 with the 49ers for their 3rd rounder so they get Spiller. Draft Earl Thomas in the 1st. Cam Thomas in the second. Eric Norwood and Pat Angerer in the 3rd. Don’t worry about RB until the 7th and get LaMarcus Coker from Hampton. Runs a 4.3 and the perfect change of pace for Ricky. Also pick up Dansby of course. So this takes care of the defense with Dansby and Angerer at ILB, Thomas NT, Thomas FS, and Norwood OLB. Use the . Unless someone is dumb enough for Fasano. Then that opens up all types of options in the second. Then you could basically trade Fasano for Dorin Dickerson. Whatever happens I can’t wait for tomorrow for the fun to start.
Draft Earl Thomas Bandwagon!
