i was actually very disappointed in Kilgore's tenure with the Phins. this past year i thought the o-line performed better with Boehm (currently a FA) in the middle.

Free Agent Rumor......

MIke Chiari wrote:The Miami Dolphins are reportedly expected to check in on running back Melvin Gordon III during free agency.

According to ESPN's Cameron Wolfe, the Dolphins figure to bring in a veteran running back, and Gordon would have interest "at the right price."

Wolfe noted Carlos Hyde, Lamar Miller, Jordan Howard and Frank Gore are also options for the Dolphins if they are unable or unwilling to meet Gordon's asking price.

Running back is one of Miami's biggest needs after it traded Kenyan Drake to the Arizona Cardinals last season. Quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick was the Dolphins' leading rusher in 2019 with 243 yards, and Mark Walton was tops among running backs with only 201 yards.

I like Gordon but don't know if I like his asking price

The Dolphins this weekend tendered restricted free agents Matt Haack and Vince Biegel, securing their rights through the 2020 season.

https://www.miamiherald.com/sports/nfl/miami-dolphins/article241208311.html

both solid, unsurprising tenders.

by **JMP** Mon Mar 16, 2020 9:06 am

Yep, good moves tendering Biegel and Haack.

As for Melvin Gordon - I've always liked him and I wouldn't mind seeing him on the Phins if the price is right. This draft is loaded with backs, so if we sign Gordon and then draft another RB we will be in great shape.

Pete Smith wrote:After six seasons with the team, the Cleveland Browns have officially released Christian Kirksey. In many ways a true representation of both what is right with the team and what's wrong, Kirksey completely bought in to the notion of being a Brown, desperately wanting the team to succeed and always being a vocal supporter of what they were trying to do. A great player early in his career, injuries have derailed multiple seasons for one of the team's brightest stars when he signed his contract extension before the 2017 season.

plus highlights....mute music if you want

Kirksey signed with the Packers - 2 years, $16 million.

Heard that the Packers are not expected to re-sign OT Bryan Bulaga. He'll be very expensive, but that would be an interesting signing for the Phins.

FUCK!!! Patriots used the franchise tag on Thuney!

I like Mando's plan here. No on Gordon, he will want too much $$$ and free agency is terrible for backs. Draft one instead.

With Thuney now tagged, just give me the center from Detroit and find an upgrade somewhere at either G, RT, or LT.

I don't want skill position signings. Build the trenches!

I think that Miami will keep at least on of the RB that was on the team last year. I just hoping it not Ballage.

other rumors.....

Gianni Verschueren wrote:Dallas Cowboys defensive back Byron Jones reportedly is drawing free-agency interest from the Las Vegas Raiders, Miami Dolphins, New York Jets and NFC East rivals Philadelphia Eagles.

According to ESPN's Josina Anderson, all four teams have discussed the 2018 Pro Bowler:

I wouldn't mind seeing him in a Dolphins jersey. I wanted Miami to pick him up during the draft but we all know how that worked out with Gase and his ignorance

Decent signing. Flowers was godawful as a tackle with the Giants, but very good as a guard with the Redskins. Assuming they keep him at guard, this is a solid move at a reasonable salary. The OL rebuild has begun!

WTF were the Texans thinking????? They traded DeAndre Hopkins and a 4th to the Cards for David Johnson, a 2nd and a 4th! Holy crap!! Kyler Murray may be the happiest person in the world right now...Deshaun Watson, not so much.

The Texans Owner has to be the worst at trading players of all time. There is no way the Texans are going anywhere next year without him.

*** I changed the thread title now that free agency is here. Use this thread for all FA and trade news. I also started a thread with Dolphins FA signings.

Ravens traded TE Hayden Hurst and a 4th to the Falcons for a 2nd and 5th.

Another WTF trade...Hurst isn't even that good, and the Ravens got a 2nd for him????

Ridiculous. I can't figure out what they're doing.

by finfanatic Mon Mar 16, 2020 3:13 pm

Bill "Dumkopf" O'Brien is now completely in charge of personnel I think?

That's gotta be ALMOST as bad as letting Dave "Dumbarse" Wannstedt run personnel.

by rightchea Mon Mar 16, 2020 3:27 pm

I know DeShaun is crying right now.....No first round picks, an okay RB, and only one really reliable WR in Fuller. Man the Texans better start making some more moves

And Fuller is always hurt!

Apparently O'Brien and Hopkins didn't get along. O'Brien is killing that team.

Vikes WR Stefon Diggs is apparently on the trade block. Damn good player...hope he doesn't end up on the Pats or Jets!

by white1 Mon Mar 16, 2020 4:07 pm

Pats would love to have him.

by **JMP** Mon Mar 16, 2020 4:10 pm

WOAH! 49ers trade DL DeForest Buckner to the Colts for a 1st!

Massive addition for the Colts, but giving up the #13 overall pick for a DT seems like a very high price.
