vt_dolfansubscriberOPLines remain open...but his visit is done. What next?
I wonder how much this has to do with waiting on Long?

vt_dolfansubscriberThey said the belief is the Phins are waiting to gauge the market....sounds like Keller wants more then what we will offer.

I'd say probably no because Volin mentioned that the Fins were probably going to wait and gauge the market
PhinsRDbestforum_veteranWho's next to visit? I'm hoping Shaughnessy, Jones, Biggers, Grimes, Munnerlayn, Cason, Winston, or Volmer.
KB21subscriberSounds like the front office lacks conviction about Keller and don't necessarily see him as that much of an upgrade. Overall, I agree with this. Sounds similar to Alex Smith and Matt Flynn from last year. They liked the player, but not at the price they wanted.
This also tells me that tight end is likely high on the draft board. Cook was obviously the guy they wanted, but outside him, there really isn't much available in free agency.
Frumundah FinnaticNew Memberso drafting a TE it is.

vt_dolfansubscriberWell...maybe this means we expect Long to return...

vt_dolfansubscriberWell...if there is one pattern that has been shown....
If they are convicted in a player, they will pay what it takes to get him. Or draft him. If they arent....they wont over pay.

Perfectville_USANew MemberEifert got to be happy, this could be his shot to land at #12 spot. If Dolphins strike out in FA at the TE postion.

Phinz13forum_veteranis Eifert someone who can start from day 1??
LarryfinfansubscriberCall me crazy, but I think they are waiting on Long to decide where to go...that has to be the holdup since they've had quite a few guys in for look-sees yesterday and today and yet not signed anyone...

I think Ireland knows Keller really isn't going anywhere so he can't wait a bit... Feel like Long is the X Factor in all of this.

Relax, we have 2 2Rs and 2 3Rs. I foresee Ertz or Eifert in the 2R and we are good to go. No sense in paying a limping retread like Keller with a good TE class.

Imo, they are now being responsible. Ireland, one would hope, has learned, as every team's GM should that successful teams build through the draft. He is very likely looking for bargains now and not splashes.
ckparrotheadmoderatorA guy on Twitter just told me he was talking to Dustin Keller's brother and he said that Dustin asked for Jared Cook type money, that he wanted more than Martellus Bennett got.
I would say "no dice" to that too if I were the Dolphins. Again take this with the grain of salt appropriate for "a guy on twitter" (in this case @phinfanalyst).

vt_dolfansubscriberYa know....after the amount of time we spent on him....and....given "gauge" the market comment...and Barry Jackson saying something about..."a deal hasnt been ruled out"...Im thinking that guy is right on the money. My guess is, Ireland wasnt paying Cook that kind of money, he sure isnt paying Keller, and believes nobody else will either, so he said...go see what you get, heres our offer....
I think we may be revisiting Dustin Keller before long.
