Miami strongly interested in keeping Long (reportedly)

I could see the offensive line receiving a slight face lift. Long stays at LT... Martin kicks inside to LG... Incognito is cut (saves $4.3 million)... and we either use Incognito's money to pay for a RT (Winston) or spend a 2nd rounder on the athletic Terron Armstead, whom we seem to have interest in.

Thoughts?

Come on...incarcerated bob?? I mean, he's a Mike FLorio wannbe....

Guess this means that Long is going to Philly and Wallace will sign with NE....

This Jake Long decision wouldn't be so difficult if Martin wasn't so bad this year.

Dude, that's why I made sure to state "reportedly" in the thread title and then say "...if there's truth to this article" in the opening post so that it would be taken with a grain of salt.
Sometimes you guys need to clear the wax from your ears. lol

Mike Florio wanna-be with a Sid Rosenberg attitude, IMO.

You all think it's possible that Incarcerated Bob is Dirty Cash Holding? For those who remember the latter anyway.

Yeah. Rookie OTs never improve after their rookie year.

Where did that guy go, anyway????

And Incarcerated Bob sounds like the old saw - "Even a blind hog finds an acorn once in a while."

Mike Wallace is Vontae's boy?
Heresay evidence, which a tweet like that would be, is enough to convict some team of tampering? I doubt it.

No. Its Opie, prison is why he's not here anymore, and he's been effing with us this whole time as IB.

Clearly, his account is still hacked.........

Yes but we can't just take it for granted that he'll improve enough to be a good starter. I think it's perfectly logical to say that if he hadn't been terrible then it would make the Jake Long decision easier.

No wax here...I read your post...I understood you meant it to be 'IF' but geez, IB?? Sorry, but that dude is notorious for false info...I think he just throws stuff up there in case it actually happens and then he can claim he broke the story...

If this is true, i dont think we are retaining Long, i think Martin would play LT and Winston RT

Dolphins considering multi-year offer to O-Tackle Eric Winston. Only fit for ZBS in Tackle FA Group. Rosenhaus wants 3-4 years at 7 M per.

So are you guys saying there's no chance we try to retain Long if he did in fact check out physically?
This guy might be writing from a prison cell but that doesn't mean the idea is as farfetched as looking for an MLS player to replace Carpenter.

Interview on sirius today. Was Ben Volin interview. He said they were interested very much in bringing Long back, but at 8 million a year, not 10-11 million a year.
I hope they stick to their guns

that corresponds pretty well to what I just regurgitated from radio. If they can get Winston for 7million, it just makes too much sense than to pay Long 10+ million. that extra 3-4 million will come in real handy.

Double fist pump for the simplicity of the crushing counterargument.

Incarcerated Bob started a looooooong time ago on WFAN radio NY. The guy is a pinhead and just reports what is being reported someplace else. Supposedly Violin said on radio we were trying to keep Long. I know a few of his Oline mates have been trying to keep him here too.

Glad they ain't the same person. DCH was a likable cuss from my point of view. Kind of miss the guy. He was always posting some sort of supposed inside info. Some folks here didn't like him though.

He had a memorabilia shop that dolphin players frequented , and he got some information that way , at least that is how he presented it.

I recall something like that too, then he just seemed to sort of vanish.

Yeah , he had a shop in the Aventura Mall I believe ,popped on with nuggets periodically and then poof ... of course with a name like dirty cash and holding lol , well disappearing would not surprise me . For whatever the reason.

Incarcerated Bob is a fraud.

That said it would be nice if this rumor were true. Too many are selling too quickly on Jake, and that could include the rest of the NFL, which means he may come back at a nice discount.

bob is a fool. he is wrong 99% of the time, but he did get manning to broncos right(probably a guess).

That was just logical. The Broncos had the most cap space, and guess where Peyton ends up? With the team most able to afford his $20 mil/yr salary.
