    If Philbin's ok with it then so am I. He's got talent but hes a jerk and you can tell it already. He's griping about catches and you have Megatron across from you and Pettigrew and Scheffler at TE with Broyles behind him or along side him much of the year. If he shuts the hell up on Twitter and quits acting like a toolbag hes welcome.

    He's managed 13 penalties(multiple personnel fouls) in two years, gotten in fist-fights with teammates, shows up late to practices, threatened to retire, demanded to be cut, purposefully screwed up in games to get back at his coaching staff.

    And that's just in two years. Could you imagine how he would act if he were actually a good football player?

    He's a good player that would give the Dolphins the deep threat they need. I would take a look if I were the Dolphins, but whether they signed him or not, I wouldn't change my plans at WR. I'd still go after Wallace or Jennings, and I'd still draft someone.

    If they were interested they could sign him right away because he was released right? Free agency starts in March, but I thought that if a player were released you could sign him whenever. Does anyone know the rule on this?

    He's been cut for a very good reason. He's the worst sort of player to have to put up with. It'd be crazy to pick him up.

    I assumed he was leaving Detroit. That's why I suggested we draft Swope around the fourth and trade Bess to the Lions. A draft day trade may be in order.

    Are you referring to personal fouls or huddle/pre-snap/positioning infractions?

    Not sure how many other penalties, but he's got at least three personnel fouls by my own reckoning.

    I would only give him a 2nd chance if no one signs him or he is somehow very humbled.

    Right now he is a player who cried his way out of his contract. Signing him right now will just prove that throwing a fit can get him what he wants.

    Did Donte Stallworth throw hissy fits and mess up on purpose on the field so the team would cut him because he isn't getting enough catches?

    *not sarcasm, I don't remember him doing so.

    You can't justify trading Brandon Marshall and then signing a lunatic like Titus Young.

    And considering the short leash they had with Chad Johnson, I can't see them wanting to actively pursue Young. They'll be a decent amount of other fish in the ocean to go after.

    Maybe I am offbase, however I don't remember ever reading how Chad Johnson was a bad teammate.

    Titus Young never got his team mates killed or beat any women as far as I know.

    What did Donte Stallworth do?

    When you look at what Stallworth did, you see a guy who was very honorable.

    He could have fought that charge, and probably would have won. But he decided not to, because he didn't want to put that family through it.

    They traded Brandon Marshall because he was a troublemaker, can't think of a team less likely to go after Young than Miami

    Has really nothing to do with being a bad teammate. It's about whether Philbin or Ireland want the headache and the immaturity issues.

    It has everything to do with being a bad teammate. It is obvious that Philbin wants players that are good teammates.

    So Marshall wasn't involved in the altercation that led to Darrent Williams being shot and killed?

    Eh, that's a grey area. T problem with the Marshall trade was that we actually traded something for him... More than we got in return. That's a little bit different than signing a guy to a **** contract (all TY is probably going to get) and having the option to cut him if he acts up. And it's different than the Chad Johnson situation.. We were depending on Chad to be our #1.

    I don't know enough about TY personality or on/off the field issues to say we should or shouldn't. If the coaches/GM feel a talented, young player is worth a gamble, I'm OK with it. As long as we're not dependent on him being our #2 or #3. Then there's a problem.

    I said this in the draft forum and I'll say it again. The best ways to get talented quickly is to gamble. The same way NE did with Gronk, Moss, etc... For example, I wanted Janoris Jenkins badly, last year. Top 5 cover players, who've proven their skills against NFL elites (AJ Jenkins and Julio Jones), are worth a 2nd round gamble.

    Obviously Philbin wants good teammates. But my original point was that they had a short leash with Chad Johnson, who by all accounts wasn't a bad teammate, but wasn't worth the headache to them. If their tolerance level wasn't very high with Johnson to begin with, they most likely aren't going to entertain the notion of adding someone who probably has even bigger issues.

    If Chad Johnson wasn't a good teammate, they wouldn't have brought him in.

    I think you are missing the point as well.

    Chad Johnson wouldn't have been given a short leash if he wasn't a good teammate.

    I realize that. But my original reply in this thread was speaking of Johnson relative to Young. If the Dolphins had Chad Johnson, who we both agree wasn't a bad teammate, on a short leash, then obviously their tolerance level for a complete bozo like Young probably isn't going to be there. To me, just the fact that the coaching staff had Chad Johnson on a short leash tells me their tolerance threshold isn't simply about whether a guy's a bad teammate or not; it's also about how much other bullsh*t they don't particularly feel like putting up with.
