Merged:Vontae Davis Traded to Colts

If Jeff Ireland was a car salesman, the line would look like the scene at the end of field of dreams...

The guy is the putsiest of putzes.

I know you love Jeff Ireland, but seriously? You're going to buy into the depth chart bull****? And ignore how dominant he's been for us?

He's never been dominant IMO. Not even close. I don't think he was een better than Richard Marshall was last year. 2nd round is about what I would say Davis' value is.

This is a different time. I'd bet anything that Luck wins at least 4.

Let's give him 5, that still makes it a top 10 pick in the 2nd round.

The Colts are a BAD team. I don't care if Andrew Luck goes 65%, 4,000 yards and 30 TD's. That defense is going to get absolutely torched all year.

People need to stop whining over this trade.
Vontae was pampered here before this offseason. When he was pushed it was obvious he just didn't have the balls.
Good riddance.

Are you kidding? VD was one of the few good picks our clown of a GM ever made. You really have faith he's gonna get value for that 2nd pick in 2013 draft? Get real!

oh Vay!! Pass the smokes??

I don't like this at all. I sure hope this is a prelude to trading for a WR. That's the only way this makes any sense.

LV760 Hey, at least the Vontae trade increases the chances Clyde Gates makes the team! *silence* #Dolphins · reply · retweet · favorite

BenVolinPBP #Dolphins now have extra picks in 2nd and 3rd round for next year's draft. #Colts pick could be a high second rounder

You're saying that because of all the games you never heard his name. Because he was covering his WR. You know, doing what dominant CBs do. Holding guys like Randy Moss to 0 catches. Never been dominant? Revisionist history.

If it is a quality Wr then it will be the first time that Ireland got bang for his buck....

Not seeing anything regarding a player let alone one of quality , that would be nice to actually a get productive player as opposed to a draft choice that would be better used by some other GM , imo.

I'll give it a shot. He's immature, doesn't know how to work, is a bad teammate and a problem in he locker room. On top of that, he gives up big plays and commits a lot of fouls.

We will now have three picks in the top 40 and six picks in the top 90.

I agree with you Travis, VD was lazy and IMO, needed to go. We stoled a 2nd from the colts.

Peyton Manning won 3 games as a rookie. Andrew Luck is not Payton Manning.

What does one have to do with the other?

How many games did Roethlisberger win in his rookie year? He's no Peyton Manning either.

2nd rounder... Irish will definitely get us some talent in the 2nd round... as uuuuuge.

BenVolinPBP #Dolphins play at the #Colts in Week 9

And we'll be out of the picture by then , at least whoever loses will help Miami's draft position.

I wonder if we can swing this pick for a proven WR.

this is the only way i would be happy about this. i had high hopes for vontae. he was clearly getting back in shape and playing better. i would have rather of seen him traded for a wr not a pick in hopes of getting a wr. this news just made our team worse and we still havent addressed the biggest problem we have.

Huge talent as uuuuuuge

why does everyone assume the colts will be a top 5 or even top 10 pick? This was an elite team 2 years ago, and while Luck is no Manning (...yet) they still have many of the same pieces. I would not at all be surprised to see the Colts be a .500 team or better

Yeah, playmakers are so overated, who needs Int's?

Could see it coming but my goodness, do not watch this season, it will be dreadful

The only way this will ever be a good move is if Ireland is fired and a competent GM gets to use the pick.

Duh...we are rebuilding folks, VD imo, should not have been moved, but it is what it is.

How many times have we heard rebuild? Ireland does not even seem to know how to BUILD much less RE Build...

Not better than Marshall?

Try getting a 2nd rounder for Richard Marshall. Aren't you contradicting yourself?

Dude, we are out of the playoff picture already.

The Dolphins have now traded their best WR for two third round drafts picks and their best DB for a second round pick. Vontae obviously didn't buy into what Philbin is selling and he was deemed expendable.

If there is anyone out there who still thinks the Dolphins aren't in REBUILDING mode once again, no matter what Ross is saying about all the talent on the team. You just don't know how to face the reality of the situation.

With the lack of talent now on the roster, this rebuilding process is going to take another three or four years, and that is only if the Dolphins hire a GM who actually knows what he is doing.

No, you just explained why it was a smart move. Richard Marshall is better than Davis.

lmao at most of these replies. Every player who leaves Miami is suddenly a HOF I guess

Decent value for VD but more importantly what do we do with this pick?
