    I'm assuming you're calling me a clown? Look, this is ridiculous...Arguing on the internet is silly, especially when we are both on the same team. I appreciate your inside information, I was just rubbed the wrong way by your attitude. Moving on...

    I know I'm late but Jesus, he said he might have firm info in a few days. You guys should just treat his post like the rest and ignore.

    If you stay around long enough you'll know who is full of it and you'll know when the be quiet and listen

    There is logic to what you're saying, but I think Wallace most definitely will affect the game himself as produce quite a bit without needing an extremely heavy load of targets. I'm not sure he'll get $12M, but even if he does, I'd be interested in paying him a big salary if he's putting up 1100 yards and 10 TDs every year while forcing teams to game plan against him allowing the other players on offense to have success.

    That's it, I'm representing sec against this bs.

    Basically?

    Read his post again, he said he might be able to confirm something in a few days...he might get cussed out if he asked the wrong way.

    The information he would be trying to confirm is NOT common knowledge and getting confirmation may not be possible.

    He has been nice enough to give all of us info from time to time that no other site or newspaper has, and you guys have the balls to act like he is Reinhold to show off.

    I assume anyone attacking sec for his post failed the FCAT

    Your one to speak.... Your major contributions consist of whining and complaining about everyone else's opinions. Point in case. Section 126 simply doesn't want to give out wrong information, but may be on to something. Too hard to comprehend for you ?. You don't like what some has to say, ignore... But to tell them to shut there mouth while crying bad form is just pathetic. Anyone who fist bumped your post should be embarrassed too. Grow up already. Be respectful to your fellow dolphin fans for cripes sake. Forgive me if I've crossed a line but no one deserves to be treated like that. That's low class even at finheaven. I'm late to the party, I know.

    Oh Boy..Is this post gonna be delicious.

    Tune into Sports Bang on CBS at 11AM Saturday.

    WE will have Free Agent Wide Receiver MIKE WALLACE on the show.

    Guest Host Bryant McFadden and Stugotz will interview him and ask him if he has had any contact with the Dolphins among other things.

    He's at RT. Other than C, the Bengals have a pretty solid, young line. Whitworth is underrated, and guards Clint Boling and Kevin Zeitler were a 2nd year player and a rookie last year. Smith played pretty well at RT all year long; but the ongoing weight issue from year-to-year is something Cincy's reportedly not happy with.

    I think with Carlos Dunlap having had a "down" year and the uncertainty of whether or not they'll be able to retain Wallace Gilberry (who had like 6.5 sacks in as many weeks with them to close out the season) has led to speculation that they'll tag Johnson. Dave Lapham, one of their radio guys, is usually pretty plugged-in to the team and has been saying this since late in the regular season. But, you're correct, you NEVER know with Mike Brown. Though in recent years he's handed over more of the GM duties to Marvin Lewis.

    As for passing along the tidbit, it's much appreciated. Especially in this slow time of the year. And, to me, that it's not a receiver is VERY interesting.

    If it's not a WR, my guess is either Anthony Spencer or Paul Kruger.

    This is an easy one honestly. Too easy. He can tie the whole thing together nicely and be a much needed leader. Future HOFs love to come here and quickly fade away though. That narrows down my hunch to about 3-4 guys.

    Purely guesses, but I'd say Michael Johnson, Henry Melton, or Dashon Goldson.

    Pitta makes more sense bec he would cost just money. Finley would cost money plus draft pick(s).

    Just curious, what would people do if we selected either Eric Fisher or Lane Johnson at 12? Would you appreciate what may have just happened? Doing that wouldn't be a slight on this organization IMHO. The hardest thing is to let a player walk away a year or two before the end rather than holding on to them for a year too long. You jettison a seemingly injury plagued, possibly slower albeit very expensive tackle for a younger one who honestly wouldn't cost you more roughly 4-5 million at that position. Thats a damn good trade if you ask me.

    Rookie salaries are slotted and are set aside, allowing you - the team - to use your FA money on more pressing needs in terms of financial obligation. You can take Long's money and get 2 players of good value for the cost of him. That is smart IMO. Very, very smart. What positions are really important in today's game? Tackles?

    I would assume that he wouldn't admit to having contact with the Dolphins before free agency starts... maybe when the cameras aren't rolling he'll say something off the record.

    I'm gonna be really pissed if we end up trading for Finley and his inflated contract. Especially with all the other options out there at TE.

    Andre Smith played RT in 2012. PFF rated him the best RT in the league. He played 1073 snaps.

    12th..... Luckily February is short. 3 weeks from this past Monday I'm guessing that is.

    Would we go with 2 rush end types in the base defense? The Boys can't afford to franchise Spencer unless they cut a few guys or rework a few deals or both, I guess?

    Depends on what happens in free agency and the rest of the draft. If Long leaves, and other needs are addressed, no logical person can say either of them wouldn't be good value.

    Well stated. If the Dolphins still have glaring needs at WR/CB it would be hard to justify spending another high pick on offensive line. If they've filled those holes, but still need an OT, a guy like Fisher or Johnson would be pretty good value despite the fact that it would be a boring and unpopular pick.

    There could also be some panic amongst the fan base, between rounds, if we don't add a WR in free agency, and take a tackle at 12, and wait to take a WR or two in the 2nd or 3rd.

    It depends if Long's injury issues are chronic or not. If it's just temporary, personally I like having Long retire a Fin (but I'm sentimental like that). When it's all said and done Long could be one of the best tackles to ever play. If the FO think he will continue to regress physically then drafting a OT isn't an issue for me.

    Yes me too, but can you imagine how some fans are going to be gnashing their teeth and wailing lamentations between pick 12 and 42, if we take a tackle first? :lol: Oh no! It wasn't a skill position player, he cannot score any TDs. Woe is us!!!

    Well, maybe the sting would be lessened if Miami does sign Greg Jennings or a TE.

    I'm sure there would be, and TBH I might be with them. As much as I like some of the guys in round 2 and 3 at WR, you're playing with fire by doing that unless they plan to trade back into the late 1st and take a guy like Terrence Williams. Not only would you be hoping those guys pan out, but you'd be hoping they can contribute early as Tannehill needs help right away. I expect them to sign or trade for a veteran though so I don't expect that to happen.
