The trade deadline is the Tuesday following week #6. There have been a ton of injuries so far this season, with many more coming. We have many player of value. Langford, Merling, and Soliai will be FA's at season's end. Marshall and Bush are not what I thought they would be, and very pricey on Marshall. IF the price is right, I don't see anyone, other than Big Jake who is untouchable. I considered Wake but, he has disappointed so far, and will be 30. Teams with injuries, and having a legit chance to make a playoff move, will overpay in the way of picks. Will we, and shuold we make a few moves?
Soliai and Langford are the two guys that I'd move. With the amount of passing going on in the NFL right now out of spread sets these guys are quickly becoming extinct. You have to think that if we have to take these two off the field that often they are not worth close to 10m and 8m a piece. They're on the field for perhaps 50% of our snaps. I think you could get a 2nd and 3rd for them.
trade dansby, langford, soliai, carey, henne, and reggie bush for a bunch of draft picks for the next regime
Trade whoever we can get rid of , stockpile draft picks and take the long game for success over 3 or 4 years. Hell know who would take any of the crap that we have though
Perhaps Washington with Cofield at NT would be interested in Soliai. They have deep pockets and we could get a fourth out of them. I really want this ineffective 3-4 defense gone. We hardly get to use the base package and have spent boatloads of money on players that don't even get to play.
No team will trade for Solia right now because we have passed the deadline to negotiate with franchise players. I wouldn't want to give up a draft pick unless I could lock him up for several years.
The thing about Soliai is that that 12m is a very high price. His franchise cash is arguably enough to pay two years of a top HC's salary and you know for a fact that Ireland will look at that. Perhaps even for a lower to mid round pick Miami would consider parting with him, not sure to who but there are teams that would be interested in him.
Nobody is trading for Soliai or Langford. Teams don't want to trade for players then turn around and pay them. Why wouldn't they just sign them as FAs?
You give a low enough compensation and teams will certainly consider adding one of those two if not both from a 3-4 team, even if it is for one year.
We're not going to sign these guys to long-term deals at the prices they're asking for. As far as looking for players to add I would ask the Giants about Mathias Kiawanuka. Dolphins could play him at DE opposite of Wake in their 4-3 packages.
If Ireland is still around which he will......"sigh"...then either we wont do anything good or we will trade for backup Cowboy scrubs.... FIRE IRELAND!!!
when was the last time there was a big trade at the NFL trade deadline? This not baseball, trades dont go down like that in the NFL
I like marshall but i wonder what the bears would give up for him to reunite him with cutler?The bears wrs suck and marshall would be a upgrade for them.
Target a RT maybe. Otherwise, if someone wants a player for a 1st or second, then sure. Only players who are off the market are Vontae, Dansby, Henne and Jake.
There are of number of players on the Dolphins should trade if they could. Unfortunately trades are not frequently made in the NFL. A lot of this has to do with the salary cap and how it affects each team in the trade. So while it would be great if the Dolphins could trade many of the players mentioned in the other comments on this post. The fact is that it is very unlikely that the Dolphins will make any trades before the deadline.
Wake and Long are the only real trading chips. Both are great players with atleast 1 or more years left on their deals. I'd trade Solai but Ireland screwed up by not signing him to a long term deal, same with Langford.
Honestly, I wouldn't mind trading Wake. I believe he has peaked and we should get a high pick for him if we can. I don't think we are really going anywhere this year so not having a pass rush isn't a huge problem. Even if it was teams would just double Wake and single block everyone else.
About two months ago there was a thread about CW and what it might cost to keep him. Everybody except me wanted to resign him to some big deal. I said we should trade him and didn't get one response. Now it seems like everybody wants to trade him....... If we can get a 2 & 4, pull the trigger. IMO
Jake is by far the best LT we've had since maybe the 70's. Richmond Webb was a pretty good pass blocker, but my god he was awful at run blocking.
My question is why some of you wants to trade some of our good players? Because Sparano is not a good coach? or because you want a lot of picks to gamble during next year draft?....I thought we want to get good players to assemble a good team, not to feed our insane thrill of the draft.
Trade Sun Death Stadium for a ball park where we actually have a home field advantage. We haven't won jack **** since we left the OB.
