Latest Rumors: Dansby flying to Miami and Pennington "expected" to return to Dolphins
Free agency begins tonight and there are already a lot of rumors flying. Below are the latest.
Karlos Dansby
The National Football Post reported around 4:30 today that free agent linebacker Karlos Dansby is boarding a plane tonight that is arriving in South Florida. The report says:
The word the National Football Post picked up this afternoon is that the linebacker, who will become a free agent in a little less than eight hours, is boarding a plane for the Miami area in, well, a little less than eight hours.
That would conveniently place Dansby in Miami around midnight tonight - when free agency officially begins. Coincidence? Perhaps. Or it could be a positive sign of things to come on Friday.
However, the Miami Herald is disputing this report. Jeff Darlington has been told from sources that Dansby is not planning a flight to South Florida right now:
Darlington is hearing from a source that is refuting a report in the National Football Post that said Dansby was flying to Miami Thursday evening...The truth is Dansby doesn't have to be in South Florida to be signed by the Dolphins. These things often get done on the phone with the agent. And if a contract agreement is reached, the player can sign the deal and fax it back to the team.
My initial reaction could be that the Dolphins leaked this info to Darlington with two things in mind. One - to help the Dolphins avoid any possible tampering charges. And two - as a smokescreen. We already know that this front office wants no leaks at all. So this "leak" to Darlington could be their way of covering up the initial leak to the NFP.
The NY Daily News, meanwhile, is reporting that the Giants are not expected to get into the Dansby bidding - meaning there's one less potential suitor in the running for Dansby's servcies.
Chad Pennington
Perhaps more surprising than the Dansby rumor is a rumor courtesy of the Palm Beach Post that claims a league source has been told that the Dolphins are "expected" to re-sign veteran quarterback Chad Pennington:
A deal isn’t yet in place and Pennington is set to become a free agent at midnight, but "barring something crazy" he will be back in Miami, the source said.
It's not even midnight, folks, and the rumors are flying. Stay with us all night tonight - well into the night - for all of the latest on these reports and any others that could possibly pop up.

so does that make us the surefire #1 contender for Dansby?
oh god i fucking hope his signs with the Miami Dolphins by 12:03 AM Friday March 5, 2010.
and is it really surprising if we re-sign Penne…i was kinda hoping and expecting us to, seeing that we do need a backup QB and who better than Penne…I think he will be a backup, and would be very valuable to the team and more importantly Chad Henne…a veteran, smart guy like Penne would be a extremely valuable commodity to a young developing QB, and Penne knows the system very well

sirius as a heart attack
Dockett, Darnell said on sirius NFL radio that Miami would be the best fit for Dansby. He also said that Carlos likes the idea of teaming up with alumn Ronnie Brown and paying no state tax…
God is Great,

and people are crazy.
I agree with Dockett, Darnell
that Miami will be the best fit for Dansby, Carlos

sign dansby and rolle
Miami rarely says a peep to the media
and Ireland mentioned #1 WR and LB as the two major off-season priorities. To me, it means a lot if they are actually saying it. If Miami has its sights locked on Dansby and plans to shore up the LB in a big way, does that give anyone confidence they are looking to do the same for the WR spot? I think Miami comes away with a #1 WR, whether Boldin, Marshall, or Dez Bryant.

WE WON'T SIGN DANSBY
This is what I read in the Miami Herald. What do you guys think?
Sources: Dansby not flying, Rolle a possibility
Karlos Dansby is not on his way to South Florida this evening, according to The Herald’s Jeff Darlington. And the Dolphins are showing interest in now-former Arizona safety Antrel Rolle, a source tells me.
Darlington is hearing from a source that is refuting a report in the National Football Post that said Dansby was flying to Miami Thursday evening.
This doesn’t mean Dansby isn’t on the Dolphins radar. The team has had eyes on him this offseason. But it does mean there will not be a wine-and-dine session beginning at midnight as some have speculated.
The truth is Dansby doesn’t have to be in South Florida to be signed by the Dolphins. These things often get done on the phone with the agent. And if a contract agreement is reached, the player can sign the deal and fax it back to the team.
And as the Dolphins don’t hold press conferences for their free agent acquisitions, Dansby definitely doesn’t have to fly in the night free agency begins.
As for Rolle, his contract was terminated by the Cardinals today. His agent Drew Rosenhaus is now shopping Rolle as we speak.
And a source tells me their exists a possibility Rolle ends up with the Dolphins — the team he wants to play for.
Rolle, however, is playing this thing coyly.
’I’m leaving myself open to all markets right now," Rolle said on his blog at PlayerPress.com. “I will be looking for teams with certain defensive schemes and teams that have a good reputation as far as how the organization is run. But right now I am willing to listen to anyone.”
True. But if the Dolphins interest increases, he’s going to be all ears for the home team.
Rolle is a South Miami-Dade resident and a former University of Miami standout.
"Sources: Dansby not flying, Rolle a possibility"
That means you can go ahead and pre-order your Dansby jersey and that Rolle WILL NOT be wearing a Dolphin jersey next year.
