Dolphins have targeted Hartline and Clemons as must re-signs

[tylerdolphin]

This.

No one drafted in the past five years by this regime has been resigned. No one. With Sean Smith seemingly headed out the door and the odds on Hartline resigning perhaps even, perhaps less, it looks as though that streak (or **** stain, depending on how you look at it) might very well continue.

Letting players you've drafted to fill holes leave in free agency because they're not good enough to resign and then drafting new players to fill those same holes who you also don't resign is like trying to dig out of a hole by throwing the dirt up in the air and letting it fall back into the hole again.

It's a whole lot of going nowhere fast. You need to be able to draft and sign players worth resigning. That's the error. Because I can't get pissed off about not giving Smith or Hartline big money. They're not worth it. But dude, why did we end up with them in the first place? Draft better. And don't trade away the talented players you do draft (like Vontae).

The thing that boggles my mind more than anything about Ireland is the sheer amount of resources he has invested in the OL between picks and FA money, and how little we have to show for it.

You could say the same thing about the secondary. A first rounder, second rounder, three fifth rounders, a seventh rounder and a boatload of free agent money to Gibril Wilson, Eric Green and Richard Marshall.

Of that, Reshad Jones appears worth keeping. Maybe. Give it another year to make sure. Jimmy Wilson might make a good special teamer, which isn't bad for a murderer. But what about the rest?

Guys, the handwriting is on the wall. We know ireland and what he does.

1. He will sign whichever one of Wallace or jennings he can get more cheaply.

2. He wants no part of Cordarelle Patterson in any way, shape or form.

3. This team will draft NO WR before round 4 when he can get ryan swope.

4. He is determined to go cornfed with #12.

5. We will be 7-9 again.

ANY permutation of a WR corps that has hartline in it is a CHEAP, MEDIOCRE, SELLOUT, SURRENDER, FAIL of a WR corps that is allergic to excellence and refuses to be elite among the NFL's units. A Super Bowl-caliber WR corps does not have hartline-type players in it, who can't make plays and find the end zone.

Special Teams gunner extraordinaire.

Agree with Clemons, pass on Hartline, to many receivers that are playmakers.....
