It would be my dream to see Cameron signed to play WR today.
He only played TE two years at USC, the rest of his career was at WR.
His combine and pro day numbers were about the same as Brandon Marshall, and Cameron is of course, bigger stronger and smarter than our former....always open WR.
We could probably have more success with Cameron running nines than with Wallace because of our QB's deep ball. IMO, Wallace's best route is the crossing pattern. He seems to have a knack for catching balls while running 30 mph across the field.
Cameron is over 6'5" and has a max vertical somewhere in the ozone. He is a legitimate deep threat and a bona fide red zone threat.
Besides, playing WR would afford more protection from concussions.
Dolphins could draft a TE and use Jordan on offense a little.

I think that calling someone who runs a 4.7 40 yard dash a "deep threat" is a little disingenuous.
There's a reason he was drafted to play TE in the NFL.dolphin25 likes this. -

Then there is also this...http://www.nfl.com/combine/profiles/jordan-cameron?id=2495267 Great numbers at everything. The shuttle and 3-cone numbers are ridiculous.
Compare with this year's top ranked WR Dez Bryant who is 30 pounds lighter..http://www.nfldraftscout.com/ratings/dsprofile.php?pyid=68811&draftyear=2010&genpos=wr
Jerry Rice and Reggie Wayne ran 4.6's. -
Bona Fide FREAK!

WR or TE. If his Medical Checks out I sign him right away. He is literally the type of player we've been dying for in the red zone. Don't believe he will be as flexible as Clay in his roles but Sims would stay as our blocking in line TE and allow Cameron to move around a lot more.
He will most def split out Wide a good number of times.
Can you imagine:
Wallace - WR
Landry - Slot
Rookie - WR
Cameron - TE -
If this guy doesn't look like a wide out who really does? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bFePuWTMEPo

I dont think you really pencil him in.....
Lots of TEs get spread out wide....Gronk for example -
I believe Cameron is a better player than Clay. Yet the fact Cameron has had three concussions in the past two years and never played all 16 games during the regular season because of injuries,has to be a huge red flag.
If Clay signs elsewhere and Cameron is willing to play for a cap friendly number , it might be worth taking a chance on him. We just have to understand that him playing all 16 games is probably unrealistic, given his injury history. Also another concussion might just knock him out for the entire season or end his career. -
Assuming he medically checks out, I would much rather have Jordan Cameron than Charles Clay

Jordan Cameron would be a huge pickup. From a talent perspective, he could easily be the top receiving TE after Gronk and Graham. And I like him more than Clay. I'm only concerned with medical issues insofar as his contract. If we can get him at a good price for at least 3 years, that's a win. I wish we had the foresight to draft him years ago.

I prefer Cameron to Clay, which makes me feel a little dirty to write. Hope the physical checks out.
Welker had several concussions, no? -
Plus we need a legitimate RZ threat than convert field goals in to tough TD catches. Which was the biggest flaw in our offense last year, which had the ability to drive up and down the field.
Landry has shown the ability to run after the catch in the red zone, Wallace is Mr Alligator arms and Clay was playing with half a knee last year. When you keep losing games by less than 4 points, having that type of difference maker in the end zone can be the difference between 8-8 and 10-6.magicap likes this. -
This might tell us a bit about Jordan Cameron:

Big seam threat. I would love to sign him
-
Clay looking to get anywhere from $6-8/mil yearly.
Too much money at one position for two players who aren't good blocking TE's. Doesn't make sense.
Cameron is a supplement if Clay leaves.... might even be an improvement if healthy.77FinFan likes this. -
