The Dolphins still are trying to set themselves up to make another potentially big roster move, which is the reason they gave to Carey when making their demand for a pay cut, according to the Herald.
I have to think that you don't tell a player that unless it's real. The problem is that if Carey agrees, I don't see an available player who would be a "big roster move."
Who might it be?

Don't do it SB!!! Ireland thought Brian Hartline in the 4th rd was an exciting pickup...you are only setting yourself up for disappointment!

O'hara. Althought I don't know if that counts as a big roster move.

I sure hope the FO hasn't given in to Denver and Orton's high demands. There is no need for this franchise to overpay for a stop gap QB again that's had a recent good year or two to boost his perceived value.
I haven't heard or seen us linked to anyone else major at this point. Leonard Davis is about it. I'd love for it to be another big time playmaker on offense though, but, it's probably going to be OL help.ToddsPhins, rafael and the 23rd like this. -
I mean I could see them doing nothing as well, Carey should take a paycut.....but I think this round goes into the Orton handgun...

I dunno. The way this team appears to be run at the moment it'll be for a back up lineman (your choice of either side).

IE..Fist pump for Ronald Fields...Malcolm Floyd..not so much. -
Look I really like Hartline, the guy has good hands and more often than not seems to get behiind the D. He is also a solid route runner and has some smarts. Maybe not exciting, but a guy I really like to have on our team.

I am mistrustful of Braylon Edwards, think he is a world class knucklehead, also think that should not put us off. -

Hartline can hold it down until Gates learns the position better, I really wanted another G but I'm also a little shocked we have done nothing at the Saftey position.
Since there isn't much out there, maybe they are gearing up for Orton or perhaps anticipating a big cut from someone. -
Can't really see a big move coming, unless you count Shaun O'Hara or maybe Dashon Goldson as that move.
I'd like to think they're freeing up money to sign Paul Soliai or extend either Kendall Langford or Cameron Wake; something like that. -

Because ross interferes with personnel decisions? No evidence of that really.
Ross f'ed up with the public search for a new coach, but seriously, he doesn't interfere half as much as other owners. You are exaggerating things.FinNasty and Tin Indian like this. -
One would think we are setting ourselves up for a big roster move but proven our history, I think it will be a small one.

i just don't see any 'big' moves left out there ....
Could still get Davis at G or O'Hara at C/G ... or Edwards at WR ... but with Miller off the board at TE -- i just don't see much out there, unless we consider trades ..... we could trade with the GIANTS for Osi -- but not sure what we would gain outta that to be honest, unless we swapped Langford or Merling for him. It's a move we don't need to make though.
Of course the Orton trade is still out there -- but doubt that Fox will want to lose him, and i don't see the benefit vs value of paying him 10+MIL a year. It's too much for his talent set.
I am hopeful that the Colombo signing was to plug a gap at G and not T .... as much as i maintain that we overvalue Carey, he is definately better than Colombo. I doubt the issue is $$$$, at least this year -- 4 MIL is reasonable for a starting RT ...
you want a 'big' signing .... talk Moss .... while not a big fan -- having him on the outside with Marshall and Bess, and move Hartline to a 'Welker' role and you'd have something there ............. -
Hoping it is Orton. He is the most impactful addition we can make at this point. You want to see a difference with one guy? Its at the quaterback position......Orton makes us a threat to make the playoffs....
-
its for sure not marc bulger, adam schefter reported he retired
-
I just started that other thread about us not contacting Soliai. I know this might sound crazy, but could we be thinking of moving him? I don't understand why else we wouldn't have worked out an extension. We've got Odrick looking good in camp. We re-signed Tony McDaniel. Everyone knows that the plan last year was to move Starks to NT.
Something just smells fishy here. We can't possibly intend to pay Big Paul $12 million on the franchise tag this year, can we? -
Perhaps we're just waiting to see how fit he is, but that shouldn't take all that long. And you would think we'd still have contacted Canter to start talking about numbers/years.

just an FYI, with Tebow tanking, and Orton doing fine, I dont think Elway pulls the trigger...

Yeah, i even think the Broncos get rid of Tebow at some point.

I think several players are on the near horizon to renegotiate their contract to be palatable to them and much more so for the dolphins ..just my opinion though . -
Osi Umeniyora??????? It would kinda be like the Jets adding Namdhi, but it would make our D unbelievable with Wake and Osi coming attcha!
-
New contracts for: Soliai, Langford, and Wake!!!
