The only things I want to pass along....
It really looks like impending FA WR....KEENAN McCARDELL wants to play in JOHN GRUDEN's offense....with the BUCS. He has been buddying up with KEYSHAWN JOHNSON this off-season...and has been telling people he wants to play on the opposite side of JOHNSON....if the BUCS are interested. I would think that the chances of him signing with the BUCS are much better than him signing here....with that said.
I have heard also....that the Dolphins are not interested in WR DERRICK ALEXANDER. The reason being----that Alexander had some behavior problems....and was not such a favorite of Chiefs coach.....DICK VERMEIL.
The Dolphins would be interested in WR ANTONIO FREEMAN....but they feel that other teams will pay FREEMAN much more than they are willing to pay. The Dolphins do not want to pay FREEMAN....more than what ORONDE GADSDEN is making....
One note on the defensive end situation......I know JD down there in a post.....inquired about the possibility of the Dolphins bringing back MARCO COLEMAN...who was asked to renegotiate his contract in Wash.....but has refused. He is expected to be released......ALEX MARVEZ did ask WANNY at a recent golf charity tournament....if he would be interested in COLEMAN.....and WANS said "we would probably look at him". So COlEMAN is a possibility.....and personally.....I would take him over the BURNETT....meaning ROB BURNETT. MARCO is not as banged up as BURNETT is.....and I believe that COLEMAN could provide a much better insurance policy for DARYL GARDENER. COLEMAN still has some good football left in him...he is better against the run...then the pass.
If the season started today.....despite RAY GREENS great play so far... In the nickel package.....WANNY would have JAMAR FLETCHER on the outside.....and move PATRICK SURTAIN---to cover the slot receiver. There has been lots of talk about GREEN...and its deserved....but its still too early. But an intense battle for playing time....is coming....between GREEN and FLETCHER...regardless. But the plan is....to have SURTAIN covering the slot reciever...in those nickel packages. Who will be in SURTAIN's spot....is the question right now.
Finally....TODD PERRY is the only player I can see being released on JUNE 1st...although I really doubt the Dolphins will be pressured to do anything. They are in fine cap shape....and what I think will happen......is that they will soon ask PERRY to re-do his contract...and take a pay-cut. Perry will soon be a 1 million dollar backup OL.....and thats something the DOlphins will really take notice of.
