David, Tallahassee, FL: Mort - Why don't the Cowboys trade Eddie George to Miami for some draft picks? George is on the downside of his career and Miami is almost certain to overpay because they are desperate.
Chris Mortensen: (12:11 PM ET ) I think Parcells believes this Cowboys team will be better than last year and George is a part of that. Parcells has giotten a lot of milege out of backs who were on"the downside of their careers" like Ottis Anderson, Keither Byars and Richie Anderson. Geroeg also takes the pressure off Julius Jones, who they think will be a good one. The Dolphins will get a back....besides, the Cowboys picked up an extra no. 1 pick in '05 in this past draft (from Buffalo).
Scott, MN: VIKES! Will Onterrio Smith be going to Miami?
Chris Mortensen: (12:18 PM ET ) I think the Vikings are inclined to keep all RBs on deck at least until the end of camp. The key is Moe Williams - he has to prove his knee is stable and strong. Otherwise, the Vikes certainly are among the teams the Dolphins would look at in terms of acquiring an RB.
Jim : Dallas, TX: Mort- Are there no HOT rumors on who Miami will trade for at RB? Will they stand pat and hope the the Edge next year?
Chris Mortensen: (12:45 PM ET ) Not "hot" rumors, but the names I've heard are: Larry Johnson (KC), Anthony Thomas (Chi), Onterrio Smith (Vikes) and even a longshot deal for Shaun Alexander (Seattle).... but, again, there's nothing "hot" right now. I do think Edgerrin James will be a Dolphin or a Buc next year. That's NEXT year, not this year. The Dolphins need to address the RB spot this year.
