Dolphins Interested in Mason & Bryant

Bryant I can see, but Mason?!

Let's hope we sign Bryant.

Mason always seems to get the job done... that could be a move to bring in a veteran who would help the younger guys get better... although, what do we have a wr coach for? Interesting about Bryant.

if we get a WR that is 36 i want it to be T.O.

If either one of those guys are the FO's lone attempt to upgrade the WR position.....I'm not gonna be very impressed.

Mason has had 3 straight 1000 seasons.

I agree with that i am hoping we can get Dez Bryant in the first or D. Thomas in the second

The sad thing is Mason is better in his mid thirties than Ginn is in his mid twenties

I have a ton of respect for Mason but how much does he have left? We need someone younger.

Antonio Bryant, however, I can get on board with.

Bryant > Mason 36

Mason for the right price would be a good pickup. It wouldnt be more than a temp solution, but could let us play with lower round developmental receiving prospects, or just wait it out till next year where there are projected to be a number of top flight rookies declaring.

Id prefer Bryant though.

Both of these guys are very underrated I think.

do you have a shovel I could borrow. I wanna finish covering up the grave of the Dolphins draft Dez Bryant dream :tongue2:

Wow, Mason can play. Didn't know his numbers were that good.

Not very impressive, I agree. But on the other hand, if we upgrade on defense through FA - maybe Dansby and/or Rolle or Otogwe, and maybe another like Foote or Banta-Cain, then it kind of stands to reason, I think that any other FA signings would by necessity be on the cheap.
Not to mention they're probably also thinking in terms of resigning Ferguson, Taylor and Pennington.
I would love them to trade for Boldin or Marshall, though.
If a good number of the above mentioned get signed then we're stuck hoping we look for WR help early via the draft.
But maybe some of it will be offset by a much improved defense :dunno:

A. Bryant reportedly wants #1 WR money yet has failed to produce like a #1 WR 75% of the time.

Baltimore is focusing on Boldin now...We need to make up our mind if we want him or not.

I'll happily take Bryant at a solid price if we can't come to terms with Boldin on a deal + compensation with Arizona. Mason? Pass. Unless we're going into camp with the current group and maybe a mid round (unexpected to contribute right away) rookie draft choice, then no way. At 36 years old, just no.

I'd be fine with either honestly... Not like Mason is going to be a long-term solution anyways... Signing someone like Mason, Bryant, or even Chris Chambers would be a good move IMO.

Wild guess they sign Bryant and then proceed to also sign Watson, hopefully following Dansby. Even after that they may try to acquire Cliff Avril.

Do not sleep on Derrick Mason.

Dude may be 36, but he can still play. Still has the speed to get down the field. Mason was absolutely one of the best WR's in the league for a number of years. And I tell you what, he's a damn sight better in the locker room than Antonio Bryant, who Buccaneers coaches accused of quitting in 2009.

To be honest, I'd prefer Mason to Bryant. Neither guy is the long-term answer, but only one of them realizes it. Mason is a much more stable presence IMO.

I wouldn't mind Mason at all. Even though Bryant is younger, Mason works his butt off and just makes catches. If they're both short term answers I'd rather have the one that has proven season in and season out that they can put up numbers.

OK if Nate Burleson just stole $25 million over 5-years with $11 million guaranteed...

Well considering that Burleson put up 800 yards or so and is 28, I don't see Bryant getting much more. Perhaps he'll get even less especially considering taxes and location compared to Detroit.

Mason for two years and Bryant for three years would be great bets.
