    According to Jason La Canfora we will be players for both. I think they're looking at a veteran free safety like Reed or more likely Woodson. Jones is an underrated lineman. Still think Brad Jones is a player they invest in, especially with Dansby's high number.

    Miami's cap space makes it easy to say they're in play for everyone. I can't see Ireland bringing in Ed Reed or Charles Woodson. He wants to keep the team young.

    Ed Reed obviously isn't the old Ed Reed but I would lose my **** if he ever became a Dolphin.

    Young is good, but you need to have at least 1 really good vet for the locker room on each side IMO.

    This is one of those positions I can see Ireland waiting out and picking up an inexpensive veteran. I believe he's already hinted at wanting to pick up a veteran or two.

    Reed and woodson are sexier names but Jason Jones is a grinder and an agitator and every good team needs guys like this. He's hard nosed and there's nothing sexy about his game but id take him on this team any day.

    Ed Reeds a Hall of Fame safety....

    Besides whats left in his tank...wouldnt he be a great addition just to mentoring some of the younger players?

    Does that really happen though?

    I imagine some players learn by watching a pro, but I wonder if mentoring happens the way we like to believe it does. But I don't think there's this whole taking another player under your wing thing, like in Bull Durham.

    Not necessarily. Sometimes youre just looking for players that help your team win games not necessarily put butts in seats. Thats Jason Jones.

    but even if it's just "by watching a pro", that can still have some impact. whether that's worth the money you're going to pay to get it is a different question.

    Not sure I'm crazy about Jones if he's coming off IR with a knee injury.

    Yeah but its not something guaranteed to happen. It only happens if the guy you want to learn, watched the pro and learns.

    I just think coaches teach more than players do.

    Reed could be our Darren Sharper for the Saints.

    I'd heard JJ was being looked at by the Rams? IMO he is a slightly younger, less durable version of Randy Starks

    I'd tend to think Jason Jones would end up to some degree playing in Jared Odrick's role. Odrick would got to 100% DT in a 3-man rotation, and Jones would be the big end who kicks inside to tackle in Nickel.

    Ed Reed has said that early in his career he always assumed he would finish his career as a Dolphin.

    I would be amazed if we somehow landed ed reed but its so unlikely I won't even bother getting my hopes up but he has at least 3 years of high level play left in him

    I know Ed Reed is a Miami guy and most of you guys are Miami guys but Charles Woodson had a better season.

    Reed isn't close to the player he once was. Last season, Reed missed 15 tackles and allowed 17.3 yards per catch – both 7th-worst in the NFL among safeties. He's still a ball hawk but he's a liability in coverage. Woodson is the better player at this point

    Sounds like San Fran is going to be the landing spot if these planets align correctly.

    You need to go look at the track record of "superstars" in free agency if you think that.

    You win at free agency by signing guys and getting more than you paid, not signing guys who you are pretty much guaranteed to get less than you paid.

    I think most people would be ok with woodson as a stop gap but he has less years left than ed reed we can also most likely get the best safety in the draft at 12 if they wanted

    Jason Jones in my opinion would signal a potential trade of Jared Odrick.

    while there are many more examples of FA busts who get big money, there are many examples where "superstars" do work out very well: Charles Woodson, Deion, P Manning, Reggie White, Drew Brees, Kurt Warner, Tony Gonzalez, Shannon Sharpe,

    why would you think he has less years left than Ed Reed? Ed Reed has been injury prone and has also clearly lost a step. I'll take Woodson over Reed.

    As I've been suggesting Odrick should do for a long time.

    But it could also signal them trying to trade Jared Odrick, as Armando suggested earlier this off season.

    And it sounds like the 49ers and Ed Reed are eyeballing each other. It's hard to compete with the 49ers at the moment especially if the money is similar. Most people see them as the favorites to win the next Super Bowl.

    I don't think a lot of those names are valid. Brees wasn't a star player by any means when he was traded, Warner was alternately as has-been or never was, others were in noted declines.

    If Reed goes there, I certainly wouldn't mind seeing Dashon Goldson in Miami.

    Brees was a FA, not traded, and he was very much a star player, especially as a 26 yr old Pro Bowl QB available in FA. White, Manning and Deion were all legit superstars.

    I think it does, just listening to all the guys talking about Ray when he was retiring and how he was teaching each of them how to watch tape, prepare for each game. I think certain guys earn respect and they tend to pass this on. I think this is actually one of the most underrated things in all pro sports. Guys will listen to older players before coaches. I remember watching an interview with James Jones, Greg Jennings, and Jordy Nelson talking about how Driver had taught them each so much about the position. Then they went to Driver and he said it was the same stuff he had been taught from other vets. I wish we could start having talent follow talent at positions. JT teaching Wake is a better example close to home. Vernon training with Wake is another. I know a few guys who play in the NHL and they each have told me the most they have ever learned was from old pros.
