Gavin Escobar is a "top draft target" of the Dolphins
posted by Kdog92, Mar 07, 2013
Two sources tell Yahoo San Diego State TE Gavin Escobar is a "top draft target" of the Dolphins.
A towering 6-foot-6, 254 pounds, Escobar has drawn loose comparisons to Rob Gronkowski and Tony Gonzalez, but ran an underwhelming 4.84 40-yard dash at the Combine. He caught 122 passes in three years in the Mountain West. Whether it's Escobar or someone else, the Dolphins figure to draft another tight end after whiffing badly on Michael Egnew last year.
Right Tackle Eric Winston released by the Chiefs

Chiefs released OT Eric Winston tonight.— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) March 7, 2013
— This is per Adam Schefter of ESPN.
Winston had his best seasons as a right tackle for the Houston Texans, who use a zone-blocking scheme similar to Miami's.
He should be on the Dolphins' radar in free agency. He was about to enter the second year of a four-year, $22 million contract he signed last year. He was the 26th ranked OT (9th ranked RT) in the NFL last season with the Chiefs and the 10th best OT in the NFL (6th best RT) the year before with the Texans according to ProFootball Focus.
He was reportedly on the Dolphins radar last offseason. His release is believed to be due to the Chiefs franchise tagging their left tackle and wanting to get younger and cheaper at right tackle by addressing tackle in the draft.

Jake Long's FA market doesn't sound so hot
According to Profootballtalk.com, there is "little or no chatter in league circles" about any team making a major push for free agent LT Jake Long.
"Some" NFL teams reportedly believe Long needs to play right tackle instead of left, which would severely diminish his market value. Long is also coming off back-to-back disappointing seasons. Our gut feeling all along has been that Long will wind up re-signing with the Dolphins on a deal worth significantly less than he's seeking. His current asking price is a laughable $11 million a year.

Re: Franchise tag RT @starks94: I want to be a dolphin!!! Not just for one more year....— Ben Volin (@BenVolinPBP) March 3, 2013
— Randy Starks tweeted a message saying that he wants to stay a Miami Dolphin, but for more than just 1 year.
It might - might - be evidence that he's been told by his agent that the Dolphins have settled on franchise tagging the ProBowl defensive tackle.
Joe Philbin not a fan of Greg Jennings, per Packers Beat Reporter

Things can always change, but I've been told that #Dolphins' Joe Philbin isn't a huge fan of Greg Jennings as a player. Needs a WR but ...— Bob McGinn (@BobMcGinn) February 25, 2013
— This is a report from Bob McGinn of the Milwaukee-Wisconsin Journal Sentinel.
It would explain why Mike Wallace, per Omar Kelly, is the Dolphins' top 2013 free agent target, instead of Greg Jennings, who has been viewed as a better scheme-fit.
