Miami Dolphins linebacker Joey Porter says team should trade him

Since the season's end, one of the biggest questions facing the Dolphins has centered around whether linebacker Joey Porter's tenure in Miami will be cut short within the next few months, two seasons before his contract is set to expire.

The fins should sidestep Porter and he should probably hang it up. The fins would be better served to draft Brandon Graham, DE, out of Michigan. He is much faster than an older Porter and is almost unblockable.......Joey is all talk, at this stage of his career.....

[Dolpharts]

Just what they need, another Michigan loser.

[Go Blue]

Yeah, like the starting QB and left tackle, or Steve Hutchinsen, remember him? How them Seahawks doin?

[Dolpharts]

They suck, like the Michigan players they have/had.

Miami will cut porter. Good riddance to bad rubbish.

Tom, don't know if you saw the senior bowl, but this kid Graham would be a steal in 2nd round, alot like Brackens of the Colts.....Steelers knew Porter was slowing down, when they did'nt resign him.....

No, don't get the nfl network. But I also heard nose tackle cam thomas looked good also.

Papers down here say they want 370 pound DT out of Alabama, don't know if thats his name......

That'd be Terrance Cody. They would want him to lose weight, maybe
to 340 or 350, but thats still a huge nose tackle. I also believe he'll be available in the late first round, so Miami could trade down and still get him.

And I would love to see Miami draft taylor mays and move him to LB. And with his senior bowl performance his stock is dropping. I don't think you'll see Miami draft a DE, like brandon graham, unless its to move him to ILB.

Tom, they really need a bigtime reciever...

Oh you are right about that. I am hoping Dez Bryant falls to Miami
at the 12th pick, but most mocks have him going to the broncos at
11. Other than that, Arrelious Benn of illinois looks good in the second round. Some scouts have him as having poor hands, but the
QB's at illinois are not that great and he made 54 catches in 08.
Knowing parcells drafting WR's late, Riley cooper and marcus easley could be options. Yes, Cooper had problems with the jam
at the senior bowl, but that, I believe, can be taught. And both are big and fast.

I love the rangy guy coming out of Cinncinnatti, should be some decent free agents available too. What do you think the chances of a strike are? Senior bowl had a 6'8" tight end that looked like a decent gamble, especially since Henne was good with the tight ends at Michigan.....

[Tom Loy]

Hmmmm. You have to be talking about te jimmy graham out of Miami. He's 6'6". I though I read
something Miami was interested in graham. Cincinati? I didn't see a WR or TE coming out of there.

[Go Blue]

No, i think the 6'8" guy might be from Army. Wish i could remember the Cinncinnatti guy, he was #5 reciever on NFL channel's draftguy's board. It was smart to have fins coaches work senior bowl, real chance to see alot of guys up close.....

You're talking Marty Gilyard. He's from Cincinati. I didn't look
at him as he's only 5'11" and 179. But if he's fast, he'd make a
good slot reciever. I don't think he's a #1 wr. There was no tight
end listed from Army on either the north or south squads. The south squads, which were coached by Miami, had colin peek of alabama and graham of Miami as TE's. I think Miami will sign a bunch of free agent WR's this year. Hopefully, one will stand out.

Tom, i am sorry, but it was the allstar(possibly shrine) type game before the senior bowl...in fact they talked about how many might have felt snubbed because the tall guy got invited ahead of more worthy guys.....on another note, have you seen the DT Suh, out of Nebraska...he is incredible...

Ah, no matter. I will check out the shrine bowl roster. I'
ve heard suh is impressive, but no chance Miami will him as he'll be a top 5 draft pick.

[Dolpharts]

Michigan sucks.

He is incredible and will start immediatly, the Rams will be nuts if they pass on him.....hope somewhere in the draft, the fins get another running back, as Ricky is starting to slow down a bit.....Superbowl was a great game, eh? Glad the Saints won, for all the people that survived Katrina......
