We have JLC excellent reportitng combined with Marvez who said Washburn sr was coming and a local beat reporter who always is last to know. Lol. Guess will need to wait for Adam S or Barry J to weigh in.
Marvez broke a lot of Miami news recently

Interesting ... I'm going to stand down on this and retract my Tweet as this plays out. Alex Marvez added,

Despite reports that #Dolphins' salary cap guru Dawn Aponte is leaving for Detroit, I'm told she's staying in Miami.

No it's not. It's a matter of checks and balances vs concentration of power by a mediocre GM who left a mess before being junk-heaped and ignored even for a lateral position by the league except for a clueless Steve Ross! We are not entrusting the operations and future of the franchise to a Polian in his prime, Schneider, or Ozzie Newsome type decision-maker. Let's not forget that. Essentially we're the proverbial aircraft hoping for a safe landing with Stevie Wonder at the controls. No matter whether Apponte is replaceable or not, she's now one less exec who has Ross's ear. If you think that's good, then I have a bridge in B'klyn I can sell you cheap.
Well if she leaves any hope I had at salvaging the cap is gone.

More power to our new overlord. Aponte was actually pretty good at structuring the idiotic contracts we kept dishing out in the least damaging way. But I guess she had to go if we wanted the full Tannenbaum experience.
Ridiculous

She is going nowhere...
Marvez seems to be in deep poo poo over it.

Should her staying or leaving really be a big deal? I'm not slighting her but come on ... unless she's got more power than what her job description says she can be replaced. If she stays good but if she leaves I wish her the best.
Are you serious? Is Aponte a great GM or a bean counter who moves money around? One less exec who has Ross's ear??? who cares, get ahold of yourself
Here's what we know about Aponte- she was brought in by carpetbagging, money stealing Parcells and along with the brilliant team of Ireland and Failbin accomplished nothing. Here's the only thing I've ever heard or read about her personnel acumen. The night before the 2013 draft Mr. Magoo went around the dinner table asking all of his top execs who'd they'd take if given the chance and Dawn Schneider Newsome Wolf responded "Dion Jordan"
so no great loss. get some perspective, she's a bean counter not a personnel guy.

No offense, but it really grinds my gears when people on these forums use "mediocre" as a synonym for "horrifically disastrous beyond all known measure"
ie:
"The Dolphins have a mediocre o-line"
"Our linebackers are all mediocre"
"Tannenbaum is mediocre"
