March 15, 201214 yr Yeah I'd say that is false as well. Gabbert f***ing sucked last year. I mean... there might be room for improvement for him being that it was his first season... but for next season if you made me choose I'd rather have Henne. And I shudder at the thought. Doesn't matter, Gabbert's still going to start. And he should. I'd still say he has a higher ceiling than Henne. You don't make that kind of decision after 1 season with the youngest QB ever to start that many games, and with a remarkably terrible group of receivers. They've gotta find out whether Gabbert can do the job or not. After this year they'll have a good idea. You already know what you have in Chad Henne. and I like the Henne signing, he's a terrific guy to have as a backup & if Gabbert's hurt he's a much better option than they had before. Laurent Robinson immediately becomes their best receiver now too, hopefully last season wasn't a fluke. Draft a WR with their 1st or 2nd round pick and that's already much better than what they had in '11. and Henne was also 24 as a rookie compared to Gabbert at 22. That counts for something. I dunno what.... but something. I hope.
March 15, 201214 yr Yea, you start Gabbert, for sure. Henne may have out performed Gabbert during his rookie season, but you have to give Gabbert the chance to start.
March 15, 201214 yr I just realized with the Richard Marshall signing, we have very little money to spend now. Start looking for Miami to cut players or restructure contracts.
March 16, 201214 yr Peyton Manning personally contacted Dolphins on Thursday to advise them he wouldn't be signing with Miami, multiple sources have told me. -@JeffDarlington Flynn! Flynn! Flynn!
March 16, 201214 yr Flynntastic. I'm glad Peyton isn't a douche and lets us go before our hopes get too high.
March 16, 201214 yr That must have been a weird phone call. Mark Anderson is coming in for a visit. Sign him and Flynn.
March 17, 201214 yr According, to PFT, we have 14.3 million in cap. I don't know how it's that high now. It was updated 3/15/2012.
March 18, 201214 yr Brandon Lloyd to NE on a super cheap contract. I think it's 3 years, 12 million. Eric Winston to Kansas City. 4 years, 22 million.
March 18, 201214 yr It's Lloyd, Welker, Gonzalez, Edleman, and Johnson. Gronk and Hernandez are at tighend. Bringing the topic back to Miami, we hosted Matt Flynn on Saturday and he stayed in Miami. I believe our cap is around 6 million, not 14.8 or below 2 million like I thought. So, we could probably sign him without having to release or restructue anyone's contract.
March 18, 201214 yr Alex Smith is meeting with the Dolphins. http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/7704821/alex-smith-san-francisco-49ers-visiting-miami-dolphins
March 18, 201214 yr Author Wow... The Sacramento Bee reports that the Seahawks are scheduled to host free agent Alex Smith after his Sunday meeting with the Dolphins. Perhaps most interestingly from the Bee's report is the fact multiple sources tell beat writer Matt Barrows that Smith is "upset" with the 49ers for their pursuit of Peyton Manning, and there is a "growing belief" Smith might not return to San Francisco regardless of Manning's whereabouts. Smith is also unhappy with his agents, who rep both him and Manning, and the San Francisco Chronicle has reported Smith is considering firing CAA. In 2011, the Niners did everything in their power to minimize Smith's impact on games, consistently keeping his pass attempts totals low and beating opponents with running game and defense. Clearly, they're not going to go out of their way to keep him.
March 18, 201214 yr Good for him. I would be pissed if my agents were basically trying to remove me from San Francisco to stick their player in my spot. f*** that sh*t.
March 18, 201214 yr We have Smith and Garrard coming in. SMith is also going to visit Seattle. Weird.
March 18, 201214 yr Matt Flynn has agreed to terms w/Seattle on a 3yr contract worth up to $26M w/$10M grntd. Not bad at all #freeagency -@JasonLaCanfora
March 18, 201214 yr Matt Flynn has agreed to terms w/Seattle on a 3yr contract worth up to $26M w/$10M grntd. Not bad at all #freeagency -@JasonLaCanfora Wow. There was a report that the Dolphins low balled Flynn yesterday, but it must have been really low. Doesn't look like Seattle paid too much.
March 18, 201214 yr Man, this hurts. I wanted Flynn bad. We have two options left. Tannehill and Weeden.
March 18, 201214 yr I think it was the money that made them hesitant to sign Flynn. Just a guess. $10m guaranteed? That's nothing to hesitate about. Sounds to me like the Dolphins just didn't want to make the decision.
