--OT Mike Rosenthal didn't play a down in 2007 due to shoulder injury.

--S Lance Schulters was signed at the end of season, but at 32 is way past prime.

--LB Donnie Spragan is going on 32 and doesn't add much to the defense.

UNRESTRICTED FREE AGENTS (not tendered offers)

As I read some of our frustrating posts concerning the loss to the Buffalo Bills, I have to wonder something..... did we REALLY expect the Dolphins to make the playoffs this year? And dont get me wrong, we are still very much in it, mostly because we play all of the teams we will be ...(more)

Hey Everyone,

I hope you all had a nice holiday yesterday!  As I was looking over the internet, I saw an article on profootballtalk.com that mentioned where Charlie Weis might go if he is let loose by Notre Dame.  Miami was mentioned because of his ties to Bill Parcells, but I wanted to know if you think it would be a good idea.  Of course, I know nothing has been decided

(On the biggest preparation he has made in his first seven starts) - "I think getting accustomed to the wide outs and just feeling the rhythm to the passing game and really anticipating a lot of throws and making smarter decisions and going the right place with the ball is the biggest key right now."

Since I'm extremely pissed about yesterday's loss, I decided to create and thread where all of us Dolphins fans can blow off some steam or rant about how frustrated we are.

This list is unofficial list I found in Profootball weekly. The players in the RFA with an asterisk are players who will become unrestricted if a new CBA is reached prior to March. if the NFL goes into an uncapped year without a CBA than the players with asterisk are restricted. The article also mentions a clause in Ronnie Brown ...(more)

Finally!

Another player that I've been waiting to read in the news that they have been released. And finally, the day has come.
I've never liked him. He wasn't a good DE, so they decided to move him to OLB, and he wasn't all that good there. He's slightly below average LB. Solid tackler, but bad in coverage, slow, and just not a play maker.

The only question I have

 With all of the injuries that happened this past week it should have an affect on the AFC playoff picture. The fact that everyone in the AFC North lost gives the Dolphins alittle bit of an edge on the rest of the year too. Big Ben getting concussion like symptoms and Batch needing surgery and will miss the rest of the season can sh ...(more)

Nothing like watching a team with the division still on the line coming into a game flat as could be. Apparently the Fins expected the Bills hand them the game.. Piss poor game calling cost us this game.

Did anyone else get a chance to see the Chiefs-steelers game today?  Chris Chambers made 4 big catches for the chiefs and pretty much won it for them in overtime with a huge 60 yard catch and run.  i recall seeing a few posts on here saying that chambers doesnt ha ...(more)

He is the real deal. I want him wearing a Dolphin jersey next year. For those of you who do not know him, he is a 6-5 WR at Missouri. He was sidelined by injury much of the past few seasons; however, when he was healthy he beat out Jeremy Maclin for the starting WR job. Now that he is healthy this year-- he is producing in a big ...(more)

The next 3 weeks are huge for Miami Dolphins.  We finish up our division play hopefully with a sweep of Buffalo and splitting with New England.  That would put us at 5-1 in division play for the season.  MAYBE good enough to get us in the playoffs, but wouldn’t it be ...(more)
