Do you think Miami's brass consider him?

FinSaneforum_veteranI wouldnt see why not, for the right price. This team seems like the Giant's style of D, hence the signings of Reggie Torbor and Gibril Wilson, and the recent hiring of Bill Sheridan.

I dont think he'd cost too much. I would think its under consideration.
NJFINSFAN1luxury_boxHe got old fast last year with the Giants, and we have old guys already. I'm on the no side of this.
We need to get younger and faster.

we need serious upgrades @ ILB

findifferenceNew MemberConsidering Miami isn't big on FA and that they like to work via the draft Peppers, Wilfork, Or Pierce maybe, but I don't see all three.
And I don't judge.
#1dolphinsfanNew MemberI would love for our team to look like that but that won't happen
late againNew MemberNot trying to rain on your parade, but.....
the LBs will set us farther back not get us closer.
between Peppers, Pierce and Wake there's little experience in the 3/4.
Wilfork would be cost prohibitive - between the compensation the Pats will demand and the new salary that Wilfork would demand, as well, there's little to no chance of him being a Dolphin.
What about WR? Do you start the 2 rookies? If so look for another year of "not yet".
I think go after Boldin through a trade. Sign Larry Foote in FA. Keep JT and Wake, but draft ILB and OLB early. Look for a NT mid round.
PhinGeneralsubscriberThe problem with Pierce is that he has a neck problem and his play has declined the past few years.
Not sure I'd touch this one.
xphinfanxforum_veteranDidn't he have a neck injury a linebacker that can't stick hard wouldn't be much of a upgrade.
That's why they play the games!:yes:

Yes, and there are very real questions about whether he will be healthy or not by the beginning of the year. In fact, there have been reports of it being career threatening. When you roll that on top of the fact that he is 31, I think I would have to pass as well.
Too bad, too. Real good linebacker.

So we go into the draft, get an ILB and a NT, throw the ball to Ted Ginn and finish 6-10? This is our best scenario. We won't have much impact players in the draft. I'd like you to suggest anything else that would be better for us. This would stabilize us for the next 3 years or so allowing us to draft and develop players around good players. I'm not saying we can get this exactly but it's better than the alternative of drafting players and letting Channing Crowder and Jason Allen teach them how to play.
Reread my post
Anquan Boldin is a WR
Larry Foote is an ILB (who has played most of his NFL career in a 3/4 defense)
