Dolphins likely to cut Porter before March

saden1 · 02-02-2010, 07:31 PM

No, we shouldn't sign Porter!

Son Of Man · 02-02-2010, 07:42 PM

We do not need any part of Joey Porter. We need to be getting younger...not older.

CultBrennan59 · 02-02-2010, 08:28 PM

I take him for a small one year deal, to teach us the 3-4 and give us a fiesty ness on defense, but I don't care if he doesn't come here.

Im with Die Nasty here. He cant hurt, and Im sure if we switch to a 34, he might be able to teach Orakpo some tips on the position. But if he starts any shit, or gets into any trouble, his ass is on the curb with no money. Gotta get that in his contract, or no dealio.

So do the people that want a whole bunch of young guys realize that the only players we're going to be able to get as UFAs are going to be in their 30s? A lot of young and good free agents are going to be RFAs.

That being said, Porter will likely get cut by Miami and it would not be a bad pick up for cheap.

Good point. I'm with some others here in indicating that we might want to embrace a few geriatrics. Our roster is so thin in places that we will need such help, to add depth if nothing else. As long as they are signed to short contracts and not projected as long-term starters, there is no problem. We can get younger with progressive offseasons. Can anyone disagree with the point that a still-capable 31-year-old offensive lineman (or two) might have come in handy last year?

Porter is an a**hole. No need to bring him in.

GusFrerotte · 02-02-2010, 11:59 PM

Why would you want to give up a draft pick for an over the hill guy? We need to get over the over reliance on free agency if we are going to change things, or more accurately, to get smarter with FA acquisitions. Who knows, our 6th round pick might end up being the next Ken Harvey or Darrell Green. Porter has pretty much shot his bolt.

I def wasn't suggesting that we trade for him/give up any picks

especially if he's cut...

i'd rather have rolando mcclain or brandon spikes...maybe not spikes unless it's in the 4th round.

Big C · 02-03-2010, 12:30 AM

no thanks. we dont need any more prima donnas or over the hill players. pass.

MTK · 02-03-2010, 08:33 AM

If he's cut why not give him a look? He's still a very productive player.

No harm in that. Seems like nobody wants ANYONE that we don't draft. Oh, and they have to be O-Line.
