Dolphins claim running back off waivers

To supplement the depleted backfield Ronnie Brown's season-ending knee injury created, the Dolphins have claimed former Texans running back Samkon Gado off waivers according to a source.

[What Is Going On]

Shows how much confidence they have in Lorenzo Booker. They bring in an undrafted retread to take carries rather than let their third round draft pick develop during a meaningless season. I don't get it....

[Wayne Haters]

Another bad personel move. They realy want that first round draft pick badly. They should play St. Louis for it in London and call it the Toilet Bowl. It can be at the end of the season like a college bowl game. Just a thought.

I'm psyched!!! This is just the mid-season pick-up we need.

9-7 baby - sneak in as a wild card and go all the way.

Go Fins!

Hey, pass that over here, quit with the bogart.

Unless this guy can tackle someone on special teams, I don't understand this at all. Why do you need a RB when you already have 2 capable and 1 rookie that needs real NFL game experience.

[Dennis]

There's always the chance the Dolphin plane will crash and then the NFL will have a expansion draft for us. We would really have a big improvement from this year. No salary cap worries, pick good unprotected players from other teams, highest draft position, new coaches and maybe a new owner.

[Boring]

Who Cares.

[Dolfan in Seattle]

Yea, its bad, its boring, but hey, the kid is 24 years old, and who knows how Ronnie Brown will do after this...the acl is a weird injury..so on a weird year like this, why not see what a kid like he can do. You obviously have NOTHING to lose...and we need SOME experience at RB, feel like I am not the only one playing Fantasy Football and scouring the waiver wire, the Dolphins have made more moves this year than me!!! But of course I have a winning season!! What a weird year to be a dolphin fan....sigh

[BravPhin]

Well, if the Dolphins play the Falcons every game, we have our Back! I remember This guy with the packers running wild in a spot start with the Packers against the falcons in ATL.

All I gotta say is that is a VERY disrespectful comment and you should be ashamed for even thinking such a thing.

Other then that a whatever pick up.

They want 4 RBs on the roster,just like they had when Ronnie was healthy. If Chatman or Cobbs get hurt,what do they do? Gado is a decent player.

The Houston Chronicle had this story 24 hours before the Sentinel. Is the Chronicle the unnamed source? Or is it rotoworld.com ,who cited the Houston paper when rotoworld posted the story Thursday afternoon? "According to a source" is weak.

[LucaBrazzi]

They should just claom bankruptcy. They blow

[crazymonkey]

Further proof that we're not rebuilding.

Sigh, another no name retread. Thanks MORONCAM

[Tony]

what a waste... Let the freakin rookie play!

Yeah, I mean couldn't they have picked Tomlinson or Alexander off waivers instead of this guy? Duh. You guys who call Cameron 'moron' or whatever don't know what you're talking about. He has turned the offense around this year, and he inherited an old defense. This is the first year Mueller has freedom to find talent and he has a solid track record in his prior jobs.

Do you know we got Welker as a free agent after he was released?

[Jabroney]

Sounds like a dumb pickup. Our season is over. Chatman will fill in nicely for Ronnie Brown (not to say same production but a solid backup). We have Patrick Cobb who had a great preseason.. and a 3rd round pick in Booker who it appears still possibly might not be activated now?? Let the young guys play. Our season is over. Give them their game experience.

They can use him the same way they've used LBooker...put him in the opposing team's uniform and have our defensive guys pund him in practice!:)

[Dolphins Dumb Move]

GEEz, I guess Booker was drafted to sit on the bench. Who's running this bonehead operation in Miami.You have several draft picks sitting on the bench. Your season is lost and you go looking for retreads off waivers. No real leadership in Dolphins camp.
