    If there is anybody on this team that's worthy of a contract extension, it's Cameron Wake. This is probably Wake's one and only shot at a big payday so I encourage him to get the best deal that he can. PAY THIS MAN!!!

    Good, Wake worked long and hard to get to the NFL and I suspect like James Harrison will not slow down once past 30 yrs old.

    Neither one has the wear and tear on them the average NFL player has by the time they each hit 30.

    One of the few bright spots of this season was watching him play. As good as his stats are they still don't describe what a presence he was on the field. OC's have learned that you have to game plan him around him. Or else he will wreak absolute havoc.

    And this guy has it together, he's gonna get even better. These next couple years he has a chance to really make a name for himself.

    This is where we find out if the club is really trying to be cheap or not. Give him a deal that lets him know he is in our long term plan and we want to build around him.

    Would really like to land a pure passrusher to play across from him though JS, when Jason Taylor was in Miami and in his prime, the guy across from him, Trace Armstrong, O-Gun, had double digit sacks

    its nice, but since he is still under contract, the news that we talk with soliai and mcdaniel would make me much happier

    I'm with you there. Lets see some movement on Soliai before he is allowed to hit the market.

    I don't think you can say he has the same mileage as another LB his age that's been in the league their entire career.

    He's similar to Ricky.

    Trace Armstrong taught JT a lot. Trace already had multiple double digit sack years before JT was paired up with him; he had 12 with Miami the year prior to JT joining the organization. He also had 2 years of double digit sacks in Chicago prior to coming to Miami. Don't discount that. Sure JT made Armstrong look better but, Armstrong also helped JT look better. Those two coupled with Tim Bowens and Daryl Gardener didn't hurt things either. That was a hell of a D-line from 1997 through 2000.

    And if someone else on the otherside starts getting a little more pressure we will see Wakes name all over the place.

    I have a gut feeling that Miami is only going to bring one of those two guys back, my money being on Soliai. McDaniel has said he wants to be a starter, which he won't be in Miami unless they cut bait with Randy Starks. Yeah, Starks had a down year, but he'd also shaped himself to play NT for a full year, not DE. I think by the time he shook off some of the weight, he was out of his so-called "slump". I like McDaniel a lot, but he always manages to come up with untimely penalties. The Pittsburgh game really stings in my memory, and personally, I don't think he's as good as Langford or Starks and it's hard to imagine them bringing him back as the 3rd option with Jared Odrick slated to come back, though I'd rather have McDaniel than Odrick and Merling.

    I don't know. McDaniel is a beast and only 25-26 years old. I would hate to see him go someplace else.

    This would be the first good thing this organization has done in 2011. Only took 22 days.

    Well, to me McDaniel is a good player, but the system that acquired him is more important, so if they cannot afford him due to the Cap coming back he can be replaced it is Soliai that has to be retained.

    You can understand why they would not give a NT with a history of weight issues and 1 good season under his belt a large deal heading into a period of time when he will have to rely on himself for motivation.

    My guess is that they extend Wake and sign Soliai, but that McDaniels leaves. I think McDaniels wants to test the market. The only way he comes back is if our offer is higher. I don't even think he'll be back if our offer was the same as some other team's.

    Yes 28 is no spring chicken in this league, but in my honest opinion he is like a classic muscle car you find in the barn. I can't see why we cannot expect another 5 years of solid play out of him .

    I believe that Wake would play for expense money. However, if he is not re-signed, I cannot imagine what he might do in playing for a contract worth multi-millions. Extend him NOW!!!

    I think were not taking into account enough that MCD is Irish's boy, he seeked him out, traded for him, and had his staff develope his talent into what he is..a very unique versatile force.

    Sign all three players.

    tough call on McDaniel .... what he has going for him is that he is younger than Starks .... but he isn't as good as Starks - especially when he is prepared and going at DE (what cost him at the start of this past season).

    not against extending Wake, but if he has 2 years left on his contract, i extend him next year with the promise of a nice bonus - to maintain some flexibility for this offseason. UNLESS, for some reason there is no CAP this year and you can afford to front load a bonus this year and make his salary CAP friendly over the next few years.

    Not even remotely true. He doesn’t have the same level of wear and tear that the average NFL player his age does. He projects nicely to be highly productive for another 3-4 years, ala James Harrison.

    I think Wake deserves something in the range of 4 years, $30 million, half guaranteed.

    One thing I admire about Wake other than the stats and all, is no matter if the play is about to be blown dead or is on the other side of the field, his motor keeps chugging until the whistle is blown.

    And, as much as I hate the expression, 'cause these guys make a ridiculous amount of money as a rule, but I will anyway...pay the man.

    I would not overpay for Wake. 30 is the magic wall for DL and Wake will soon be 29 (January 30, 1982). Granted he hasn't played very much; however it's damn hard to outrun FatherTime regardless of the milege on your tires.

    Other factors, Mike Nolan took a undersized Elvis Dumervil langishing on Denvers bench and made him a star.

    So how good is Wake really? Combined with his age; I would not overpay, I would consider a trade (out of the division) if another 3-4 teams agree to 2 1st round picks.

    As far paid goes 5 years $30mil, $5mil as bonus
