The Miami Dolphins and wide receiver Armon Binns received bad news earlier today when he was diagnosed with torn ACL and MCL tendons in his knee. Just like that, Binns lost his 2013 season and the Dolphins lost their number four receiver.
While the team could look to players like Marvin McNutt, Brian Tyms, or Rishard Matthews, to fill the position, the Dolphins are likely taking a look at players that are available via free agency right now. Of course, we can do the exact same thing:
Player | 2012 Team | Games | Receptions | Yards | TDs |
Early Doucet | Arizona Cardinals | 12 | 28 | 207 | 0 |
Donald Jones | Buffalo Bills | 12 | 41 | 443 | 4 |
Ruvell Martin | Buffalo Bills | 14 | 4 | 41 | 0 |
Brandon Stokley | Denver Broncos | 15 | 45 | 544 | 5 |
Austin Collie | Indianapolis Colts | 1 | 1 | 6 | 0 |
Laurent Robinson | Jacksonville Jaguars | 7 | 24 | 252 | 0 |
Mike Sims-Walker | Jacksonville Jaguars | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
Steve Breaston | Kansas City Chiefs | 15 | 7 | 74 | 0 |
Brandon Lloyd | New England Patriots | 16 | 74 | 911 | 4 |
Deion Branch | New England Patriots | 10 | 16 | 145 | 0 |
Seyi Ajirotutu | San Diego Chargers | 3 | 3 | 45 | 0 |
Randy Moss | San Francisco 49ers | 16 | 28 | 434 | 3 |
Sammie Stroughter | Tampa Bay Buccaneers | 3 | 1 | 14 | 0 |
Roscoe Parrish | Tampa Bay Buccaneers | 13 | 30 | 298 | 0 |
Brandon Banks | Washington Redskins | 12 | 26 | 178 | 0 |
Looking at the list, the two most likely candidates are Laurent Robinson or Brandon Lloyd, although with the youth movement going on in Miami this year, another undrafted free agent could be brought in to fill the roster spot.
Anyone on that list you would like to see the Dolphins pursue? Any UDFA out there you have been keeping an eye on? Or should the Dolphins just stand pat, and hope that the receivers they currently have will be able to man the depth chart? Maybe they should just wait to see who gets waived during the early roster cuts?
