And of course...Joey Porter.
I did not happen to read that rafi2, I do think the Brownies are high on a guy they signed last season as a UDFA..Ahytba Rubin, and they are paying Rogers and Williams big bucks so it would not surprise me if a move was made.
One guy not on that list is D McNabb, he is due 6.5 million right after the draft, man for whatever reason I'm sniffing a McNabb trade in the works. Probably Vick as well. As for Rogers...who knows, Mangini will want veterans heading into his 1 yr audtion in Cleveland, Holmgren is looking longer term.
I wouldnt mind seeing Lito come to Miami,just for the depth he'd bring,especially with Allen's little legal mishap. Darren Howard isnt going anywhere,shame because we could use him.
Shaun Rogers for a third would be an insane steal, the guy can flat out dominate. No way in hell he goes for that cheap. Sheperd is and has been washed up, no thanks - he doesnt bring anything to the table we dont have. The McNabb case will be interesting. I can easily see him playing at a high level for several more seasons. The question for Philly is what happens when they trade him and he wins a Super Bowl with the Cardinals or San Fran or someone. Oh man that would be a story.
Leading off: He ran for 1,300 yds last year, the Jest feel that Shonne Greene can shoulder the load, but anyone who followed his time in IA knows he is injury prone. As Napolean once said "never interrupt your enemy when they are making a mistake.." Indeed...
If Lofa Tatupu is released i wouldnt mind seeing him in miami he is a better ILB then what we have right now. Plus he is only 27 but seeing how he just did a new contract in 08 i dont see them getting rid of him unless they think that Aaron Curry can take over as the MLB
Jamal Williams wouldnt be a bad pick-up for a little while till we get a better NT atleast or untill he retires
I would be. They just signed Tatupu to a long term extension not to long ago and he is the leader of that defense. Hawthorne did play well but I still don't you see Tatupu released anytime soon.
Cameron Wake, Lofa Tatupu, Channing Crowder, Karlos Dansby at LB?!?! I hate getting my hopes up but I just can't help it. I can't wait until Friday!
I dont think we would get both Tatupu, and Dansby that would cost a lot of money i think the dolphins should do what the Steelers are doing and put a cap on our team even though it is a uncapped year. Unless they really think there is going to be a hold out then i say throw the money at the players and make a run for the super bowl
