He's an unrestricted free agent with an expiring contract. The Dolphins have just made a decision they don't want him re-signed.
Yup. signed a 2 yr deal in 2011. Played out his contract. I would not be surprised if Ireland signs him as depth.
I guess this means more opportunity for Alecxih and Randall. With Starks and Soliai the only proven NFL DT's we have, I can see a DE in the cards to send Odrick inside.
That's what I think as well. Given Odrick's size, he would be much more suited to slide over to DT, which makes re-signing McDaniel unnecessary.
Yup were definitely drafting at least 1 DT. Maybe 2 in this deep DT draft. Guys not being re-signed. Soliai/Starks on 1 year deals.
I hate when this happens. In October I was pounding the table that we move McDaniel to a playoff contender who was soft on the Dline (see Colts, for example) for ANYTHING. I mean, a 7th in 2016 even. Instead McD barely plays for us, and then leaves. I feel the same way about Soliai and Bess this year. Extend them mid-year or trade them for whatever you can get. I doubt anyone else feels the same, but simply bleeding assets with zero return on them is like a bucket with holes in the bottom. It's harder to ever fill it to the top.
I would not want to move Bess right now (because I think that would alert teams that we would be interested in Austin). But, at some point I would move him. Maybe even during the draft? (After round 1 - trade him for a 5th-6th?).
Plus this is another player who has had legal problems in regards to his girlfriend.Public outbursts and arguiing.It lloks like he is more trouble than he is worth.
Understand the point , but he may add to losses that get a compensatory pick ... although with all the signings , that may not happen next year.
