Returning to the Dolphins was my No. 1 goal from the time I got suspended,'' Incognito told WSVN. ''I want to return to the community in Miami and resume my playing career as soon as possible.''

I don't see it happening.

Headcoach material wouldn’t want to work somewhere they’re not trusted with actual football decisions.

Hmmm, forgiveness..I could see this being a life changing circumstance..I'm all for strange occurrences that could possibly unify a team, he obviously crossed lines, and teammates did not intervene, however, maybe this Indiviudual has become truly humbled and mature, I don't think his actions are some sort of thing where he can't become a better person or learn from it, I could see it where it becomes his awakening moment.

I think if I was a coach, I would look into the team physche, and see if this is a reclamation project that maybe we wanna help the guy get his life in track..

Not as long as Philbin is still the head coach.

It would look bad. You have multiple coaches and trainers being fired because of the actions of this guy, and then you bring the guy that caused all of it back to the team? No way.

Buyer beware.

People can easily fall into the trap of thinking he's learned his lesson, that this whole mess brought him to the brink and now he knows he can't get away with the same old crap as he did before.

However you have to stop and consider that you, as a rational person, may be ascribing rationality onto a guy who might not operate with any. This is a guy who very recently took a baseball bat to his own penis car, a penis car he impulse-bought like the day after he was suspended by the way, and who I believe recently checked himself into a mental facility...for at least the SECOND time in his life.

Why are we ascribing rational decisions onto a guy like that? We have every signal that he simply can't help himself from doing bad, distracting things.

I've never heard of this guy. Need to do some research before I can comment.

Good luck with that Richie....

Better chance of us bringing back Richmond Webb!

I've held the unpopular idea that Martin was the problem all along (and still do), and even I couldn't see how or why Incognito should rejoin the Dolphins. There is nothing but bad that can come of it. Either way, that sour chapter in the teams history needs to be closed. I hope he finds success with a new team.

Incognito:
1) have the doctors look at him, especially the team shrink
2) allow the starters to vote on it
3) if he passes everything & will work for a reasonably friendly one year contract.
4) right the wrong & hire him. we need him back big time!

Jon Jon got a job on the west coast, no reason to destroy a perfectly good pro-bowler over a conspiracy to defame & collective incident

First of all he's not good. Second he's as much a Pro Bowler as Vince Young was. They both suck.

Yes. No matter what side of this debate anyone is on, I can't see how bringing him back is at all compatible with "moving on." It seems like the guy needs some serious help, and bringing him back would be akin to enabling him.

I truly don't believe he was purposely being malicious, I'm just as pissed at other players for not checking Cognito along the way,so there's always room to understand the intentions if they weren't meant to be harmful, there have been players who have done plenty worse and their team welcomed them back..

He's not that intuitive to others and he's a an immature Putz, but he may now understand..I'd bet he sure would be grateful.

And him taking a baseball bat to his own car, checking himself into a mental hospital, going off on twitter rants calling out some of the exact people he should not be calling out...these are all signs of someone you want on your football team?

To each their own.

EDIT: Oops. I forgot sexually assaulting a female volunteer at a Dolphins charity golf event then refusing to apologize until served with a police complaint. Sounds like a swell guy! He doesn't mean to hurt anyone. He just does it by accident. A LOT.

I know man, but I'd go crazy to if I ruined my career, destroyed my family name and indicted a whole teams image on my stupid way of communicating..

I don't believe he had bad intentions, and when that is the case, I try to understand the issues, and maybe after complete destruction and humility, give that person a chance..

If it weren't for how it would be perceived, I would like to see if bottoming out could make him the best friend and player he could possibly be.

That's the thing. Maybe he really is crazy.

I'd like to see him get his act together too. Just not as a Dolphin with risk of more drama, hole on the OL mid season, etc.

Let someone else do the gracious reclamation project.

I think any person would go off the deep end when the whole world and it's bottom feeding, blood sucking reporters and media are calling you a bully and racist along with 100 other things. No one will ever know the stress that put him under, especially when he doesn't believe (nor do I) that he was maliciously bullying a big ass baby in Martin. I'd rather have Richie any day over Martin. Sign him up. This damn team needs some attitude.

This is not true at all. Incognitos play was not the problem.

The best part is Incognito still considers Martin a friend and wants to play in Oakland now. He was "excited" to hear that Martin will be a 49er.

Bring this man back into the fold if you want some real leadership on this team.
