Crowder can opt of contract?
30 replies
It's likely that linebacker Channing Crowder, who led the Dolphins with 78 tackles despite missing four games with ankle and knee injuries, can opt out of the existing deal he signed as a rookie in 2005.

His contract runs through 2008. But from how I read that, it appears there is a clause in it that can get him out of the final year. I didn't lie to you.

No problem Josh, I was just giving you a hard time. It is all good brother. Happy New Year!

If he does stay he needs to play outside....I just don't think he's as good inside...then again to play outside Bill likes guys that can rush the passer and Crowder's never been that good at that.
Ozzy rules!!

I think he'd almost have to play inside in a 3-4, but I won't miss him if he leaves unless he goes to New Engladn of course. Belicheck wanted to draft him, there must be something we haven't seen yet.
@KevinMD4
If I'm Channing Crowder I don't opt out of this contract. Can't see there being terribly much market for guys from a 1-15 team, especially guys who didn't log many sacks, interceptions or fumbles.
hopefully he stays...pretty solid player

what do u have Aginast Channing Crowder he is a good player he has missed 4 games and still lead the dolphins in tackles what did he do that was so wrong from last year ever one was calling him a great player last year now that he doesnt have a season like u want him to have he sucks
I hope that he stays, but he has to stay as an OLB.

But he's good enough to keep until we are certain we have someone better on board before letting him go.
good for him. go underachieve elsewhere
I wish they would've elaborated a little more about Crowder. I wonder what the chances of him leaving are. He seems to love Miami so i'm not too worried. He didn't exactly light it up this year so I bet he'll be back next season playing for his contract year.

I don't hate Crowder but I was dissapointed with his play. He is far from a playmaker and did a mediocre job filling in for Zach at mlb. He also looked really really slow at times. I think by now, we all just expected a lot more from him.
We would be taking a definite step backwards in improving and building this time with his departure.

definately looked slow, especially in pursuit towards the sidelines.
Since this was just his third year as a pro, wouldn't he be opting to become a Restricted Free Agent, rather than an unrestricted free agent? Thus, we could get a 3rd round pick if we lost him (I'd take that)...

That could be said of the whole defense, gonna get rid of everyone?

I never said he sucks, I believe we can do better as a team.

Exactly. Crowder is an underachiever who hardly ever makes a big play. He also looks slow.
Football is the ONLY sport
He's not a dynamic player, but he can hit with the best of them. I'd like to keep him, even if we can get someone better he isn't bad depth.

I'll be happy to see him go,he'll be a restricted free agent so we'll get a third for him . I'll take the pick and watch him walk away.
