Dolphins likely to cut Porter before March

CultBrennan59 · 02-04-2010, 09:55 PM

i feel like porter would come here and possibly start fights in the locker room with someone else. Don't care for him anymore

I wouldnt trade anything of value for him. If he gets cut i would POSSIBLY look at him but unlikely, with no cba next year we could get him cheap and if he starts any bullsh!t we could cut him.

These are the same people that were saying to bring Washington back in, despite his age and injury concerns, heh.

Let's go back in history....

1) Jeff George - signed @ 32yrs for $18 as a backup quarterback for $18 million/4yrs. Played six games his first season, then fired in 2001.
2) Bruce Smith - signed @ 37yrs for $23 million for 4 years from Snyder
3) Deion Sanders - signed @ 33yrs for $8 million signing bonus, $55 million/7yrs (quit in 2001).
4) Jason Taylor - signed @ 34yrs for 2nd/6th round picks, $8 million/year.

Let me reiterate, signing an old veteran is not a good idea. They usually take the money, and never are worth it. At least Bruce Smith got us 29 sacks..

Short release, he's back with the Fins. They'll probably cut him on March 5 though:

Although Porter said money didn't matter but Porter should still feel lucky, he was about to lose 1 million dollars.. But due to the rule, he can be released only after March 5th, and he's due to get the 1 million dollars on March 1st..

I don't think anyone here is saying sign him to a big contract, only to a vet min situation. Although he is very unlikely to come here.

You would be right. And ironically he has a history with one of our players:

I wish that people wouldn't mention vet min

he's not a vet min player.. he's not worth signing at a peak contract, but come on... that'd be a slap in the face to even mention it, much less offer it

From this day fourth the vet min shall only be mention in parody or after the fact. The days of being "super smart stern negotiator commandos" using the vet min is over, not that it was ever around to begin with.

Exactly, especially if you mean here in Washington haha
