5 mil bonus is a lot of money for Mr Wilson.
I agree with the Grove signing, but the Wilson signing looks to be a good one. I'm a big Grove doubter until he proves me otherwise.
for what it's worth, 2 Fins on the list.

I don't understand why so many in the media hate he phins. I don't remember that being the case in the 70's,80's or 90's. I don't know when it started, I can't remember the "trigger" that started the hatred.
The players I would have had on that list are Fred Taylor (too old) Joey Galloway(same), Bart Scott(product of the system) and T.O. (the obvious) Keith Brookings (washed up)
There is absolutely no doubt it is an upgrade talent wise, however if he can't stay on the field then that is a different story. But if Grove or if Burger starts it is still a pretty big upgrade over Satele. He really isn't a NFL starting OL man.
Wow, a lot of talking heads seem to be jumping on the Dolphin bashing bandwagon this week. Prisco writes a stupid article about how much he hates the wildcat formation. This article trying to bash two of our biggest free agent signings. That other thread about an article that says Miami is a team on the decline. ESPN earlier this week saying the Patriots are the team to beat and the Jets are a sleeper and no real mention of the defending champs.
All these talking heads(who by the way gave the Dolphins no shot last year and it came back to bite them) are just throwing fuel on the fire. The more they question and bash the Dolphins, the angrier it will make the team. If you poke a bear with a stick long enough, the bear is going to kick the crap out of you. They are just setting Miami up to destroy the competition. Having doubters is only going to make this team play harder to try and prove teams wrong.
Maybe, but they did add some good players through free agency and trades. Ferguson, Fasano, Ayodele, Starks, Smiley, etc. Wilford obviously was a huge bust, but they have added a few key players through free agency and trades that are major contributers. I think Grove and Wilson will do just fine and I truely believe they are upgrades over Satele and Hill.
