Jeff Ireland critics aren't going to like to hear this, BUT it appears the Dolphins GM's thrifty ways in 2011 will pay off in 2012. The Dolphins were $9 million under the salary cap in 2011 and NFL teams can carry that figure over to what the 2012 cap will be. That means if the salary cap is $123 million the Dolphins are working with a budget of $131 million. So....Since the Dolphins have a cap figure of $116.636 million they should have $14.364 million to work with right now.

The Miami Herald reports that Dolphins owner Stephen Ross is "infatuated with the idea" of signing Peyton Manning.
According to the Herald's Barry Jackson, Ross is willing "to wait as long as necessary" for Manning after he's released by the Colts. Manning may not be ready to sign right away -- for medical or personal reasons -- but Ross will be there when he is. The Dolphins reportedly believe they have a "realistic chance" of landing Manning. Earlier this week, agent Tom Condon made it clear that Manning's $28 million March 8 bonus will not be pushed back, meaning a Dolphins deal could theoretically be in place before March 13.

I would still rather us get RG3 than Flynn or Manning.
What happened to the RG3 bandwagon?
Anyone still agree with me?

''Peyton has not passed our physical nor has he been cleared to play for The Indianapolis Colts. Team statement coming on Friday.''
How much of that is politics to scare teams of Peyton?

"USF football has lost third-year receivers coach Phil McGeoghan, who has accepted a job with Miami Dolphins as assistant receivers coach."

Also....

"USF's Phil McGeoghan was just recognized by @247sports on Wednesday as being one of college football's top 50 recruiters."

The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel now confirms that free agent Matt Flynn receiving the Packers' franchise tag is "not going to happen."
Beat writer Tom Silverstein calculated the club's cap commitments, and they only have $7 million to work with toward re-signing Jermichael Finley and Scott Wells, among others. Tagging Flynn would cost $14 million, fully guaranteed. The franchise tag for tight ends is dropping from $7.3 million to $5.5 million under the new CBA, so Finley is almost certain to be tagged. Flynn will hit the open market, and the Dolphins are the favorites to sign him. rotoworld.com

What have people got against Matt Flynn? Please Don't compare him to Kolb, because Kolb was shit for the Eagles too. He was actually better for the Cardinals than the Eagles. For me, Flynn does everything that a West Coast QB is supposed to do. What does he not do that people are against him? Is money and him being a backup to Rodgers the only problem for people?

Curry did not take a play off on film, and that continued in Mobile. He doesn't have the bend and burst teams covet in edge rushers, but Curry's tenacity, violent hands and upper-body strength made life difficult for the North's offensive tackles -- including first-round talent Mike Adams (Ohio State) -- throughout the practice week.

Curry finished strong, recording two sacks in the game. The second one was particularly impressive, with Curry using his initial power to drive Florida State OT Zebrie Sanders back, keeping his balance when Georgia C Ben Jones came over to help Sanders, and keeping his eyes on the quarterback the entire time.

Have we become crazy? why have i been reading everywhere that Marshall was the reason for the bad QB play, and that if he were to have caught some of those dropped TD passes Moore would be the starter next year, and that we should trade him now. If Marshall was not on our team we would have a really bad offense. He demands double teams and there is a reason he is in the pro bowl and not any of our QBs. Im not saying that Moore played horrible but he didn't play great, and we need to upgrade the QB position, no doubt.

Also Marshall was crediting the QBs in the pro bowl for making him look good. and anyway if he was saying that he wants a new QB, why isn't he entitled to an opinion? Don't forget he is arguably our best player and my brother who is a bears fan would LOVE to have Marshall. You don't know what you have until you lose it.

Don't you think since we have a "Offensive minded" HC that he might make a move for a play maker on the offensive side of the ball instead of the defensive side? Look at the Packers. TONS of talent on the offensive side. I'm thinking Blackmon. Trade Hartline for a 4th/5th rounder? What do you all think?
