Can we trade him with a second rd. draft pick to Cam Cam, or wood we haft to sign him first before we can then trade him?

wopper "the king" computer
We often look rite past the positive's cuz the negative's-r-so hard they dominate!

Soliai?

If whoever you’re talking about is a FA, we’d have to franchise and trade, but that is very expensive and would knock Miami out of FA action for the first several days, if not weeks. And Cam Cam isn’t expected to return to Baltimore.

I say

Let Soliai walk since were going back to 4-3 he can be replaced by just about anyone,but keep Langford.

Yeah, Soliai is terrible!

He is just a probowler who has performed extremely well against the run for us. I really dont understand why people are so down on the man. He is doing exactly what we want from him.

My love for THE MIAMI DOLPHINS is unconditional...period!
Win for pride, Win for us fans!
God I hope we can knock the Jets out of the playoffs, I couldn't imagine despising a team and fan base more.

Go Dolphins!

I don't think people are really down on him per say

but a lot of people realize that when we switch to a 4-3 defense his expertise & service will no longer match what we will need, that is not a knock against Soliai just truth. It sucks because when he leaves I do see him reuniting with Soprano and joining the Jests this offseason :(

that would be terrrible for us.

we just need to pay the man, he will suceed in either format.

Go Dolphins!

^agreed but he will eat up a lot of cap space

and both Ireland and Ross have made it clear that finding a Franchise QB is priority #1

Finhead83 this is a question for you

you really seem to know your shit when it comes to player contracts & salary cap. Question, is it at all possible that Indy can pay Manning his $28 million due and then turn around and trade him to a team for draft picks and/or players?

I have to think that Peyton has some kind of No-Trade clause built into his contract with the Colts, but could that be a possible scenrio? And if so do you see that happening?

Gronkowski's ankle will be fine.

They found some spare parts:

Belichick is looking for a new name for his boat: VI Rings sounds pretty good.

^^^ that is funny as hell

unfortunately it’s not going to matter where he gets a ankle replacement New England is going to lose again to the Giants

This is the first time I've ever seen Brady having a sort of shaky

confidence going into a big game like this. In his press conference he had a worrisome look about him and on top of that it’s been reported that he had trouble sleeping the night after the Baltimore game. Now on the flipside Eli is going into this game like a beast out of hell after having a pretty solid showing against a formidable opponent. All I can say is that Brady better tighten up because the Giants are going for the throat.
