Tyler Thigpen: Possible trade bait?

Thigpen or Penny to Cleveland for S. Rodgers would be awesome!

from chris mortensons twitter responding to someones.....

@evansilva Maybe but they like Thigpen a lot. He's the real insurance for Henne.

Basically there is no reliable sources inside the CIA HQ that is in Davie..

Hey has he been praising Ginn or Torber lately? :pointlol:

i still say penny is more likely the one to be traded still.theres a few teams out there that could use the services of penny with the redskins being one,seattle being another..detroit could use a experienced vet to back up stafford.penny just signed a one yr contract which should make him even more inticing now that the contract is out of the way and its a pretty good one for any of those teams that need a stop-gap or someone to compete in the redskins case.

Learn to like Ginn because he's staying and he WILL produce if we can somehow find a true #1

If he produces I'll speak well of him. However until he stops running out of bounds, falling down, alligator arming it across the middle, and dropping game winning TD's he has a bulleyes on him. Especially now that GERBIL is gone!

You keep talent and add to it.

If Chad Pennington's arm does not pan out we have NO ONE to back up Chad Henne.

Trading Thigpen is a really dumb idea.

he's not a great wr, but he's not guilty of all that either. Also, i expect wrs to go out of bounds when the opportunity is there as opposed to getting hit. And yeah, some WRs are going to go down rather than driving head first into a CB. That's just being smart. Those wrs tend to play a lot longer for a reason.

A lot of people were against acquiring Boldin because he's injury prone. But he's injury prone because he never shys away from contact, never goes out of bounds, always goes over the middle. And when he's not playing by week 10 for the ravens, we'll know why.

It's a rough position. You need to be tough, but you need to be smart too. That means you'll be a chicken sometimes, so be it. Try to remember that most of these guys won't be walking by the time their 60 if they take every hit.

it really looks like Parcells likes Pennington. i don't think he would screw him over by trading him away now. besides, we would owe Pennington an additional 1.5 mil if we traded him.

No to trading Tyler Thigpen!!!

You'd have to think the Pennington signing means we are either shopping White or moving him to another position.

Moving White to Wr really doesn't make much sense either though, Bess is our best Wr, White would most certainly be a slot Wr, and he would not move Bess off of the Slot.

white = our cribbs

Cribbs is 6'1" 215lbs. Pat White is 6' 190lbs. Cribbs is a KR/PR/WR, White does none of those things (yet).

Sorry Sick, but I don't see the comparison.

With four QB's now on the roster in Henne, Thigpen, Pennington and White, there is noway all four will be still there come September. Some team is bound to lose a veteren backup or starter before the season starts or a team will be unhappy with who they already have and will seek to find better options.

With the Fins having four QB's (one starter and two of which are backup worthy and former staters in the league) you can bet they will be approached and offered some picks for one of those players.

IF either goes, my $$$ is on Pennington .... you can work the increase in his contract in the trade -- so it has no effect on MIA.

This likely also means that we will not draft a QB, as many inferred this year.

still think this was mostly a business decision .... equally, i think it speaks volumes about Pat White .......

So we go into TC with 4 QBs. When the dust settles, the worst White...er, QB... is either moved to a different position, shuffled off to the practice squad, or outright cut. Trading Thigpen, especially for a low round pick, would really suck.

i didnt say they were exact measurments.....not sure why that was brought up. iam talking about white being a role player for us. return kicks, line up out wide catching jet screens, reverses, snaps from the WC etc etc

I don't think Thigpen is going anywhere, I think White is going to WR

I love all this fan speculation.. Why don't one of you just walk into the Dolphins head office and ask what's going on???

that is if you could get by security... LOL

No, No, No, To Trading Tyler Thigpen!!!!!

:angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry:

Man, I hate it when you guys dig up these threads from weeks ago, particularly at this time of year...Made me think this was something new, then I remembered reading that little blurb before and I checked the dates....
