@ArmandoSalguero
The Miami Dolphins are trading for San Francisco starting center Daniel Kilgore. Teams swapping seventh-round picks.

49ers just signed him to a 3 year extension in February.

Kilgore, 30, was a 2011 fifth-round pick by the Niners. He emerged as a locker room leader and one of the team's most dependable veterans over the past couple of seasons.

Is he any good. Don't know a lot about this guy.

Just resigned to 3 year deal in Feb by niners... then traded for nothing essentially. Are they cap strapped?

They are not, but they signed Weston Richeburg

Has to be healthier than Pouncey and more of a vocal leader.......Good move for cheap.

Anyone thoughts on this player?

#Dolphins swapping 7th RD picks with the #49ers for C Daniel Kilgore. He’s due $5.3M this year w $4.8M in guarantees. He’s on a 3 year/$11.7M deal.

The Niners traded Kilgore just one month after signing him to a three-year extension. And they basically gave him away. What am I missing here?

There was a large size bag of Cheetos for Tannenbaum in the deal which was not reported.

The NFL is such a strange business.

New Dolphins center Daniel Kilgore was rated 23rd among all centers by PFF last season. Pouncey, who is being released, was rated 27th. Kilgore has started 39 of his last 41 appearances.

But, can he practice? :wink

I guess this means, Miami won’t be looking at an offensive lineman in the first few rounds?

 

[LordTua]

I mean for a 7th rounder, I'm all for it. The money isn't too bad either if he's at least serviceable

 

[DuderinoN703]

Working quick. I don’t know much about linemen. He worked with Jimmy G. last year at the end and they did win 6 straight.

Has to be a decent move right?
