Hello.... I got 5 e-mails today from people who thought that just because Spielman signed back FB FEMI AYANBADEJO.....it could be that the Dolphins just want to go ahead and let ROB KONRAD go to the highest bidder out there in Free Agency....and we can save some much needed cap space for other positions. Not true at all.....matter of fact.....Its a great depth move by Spielman....who was aware that FEMI was still out there, and who wanted another chance to show this coaching staff what he can do. Plus....I did hear that the JETS were also very interested in signing up FEMI also.....so in essence.....SPielman was smart to act now....I mean why for the same peanut salary should Speilman let Terry Bradway of the Jets sign up FEMI....and SPIELMAN also is playing his cards right here as well.....looking at FEMI as a low cost insurance policy....if....and IMO it is a long-shot.....if KONRAD leaves town.
If KONRAD signs...as DYER already is in the fold.....its still going to be extremely difficult for FEMI to make this team.....like I said....probably only an injury would have to happen for him to make it. FEMI is not much of a Lead Blocker...that is his weakness.....but the pass-catching ability is certainly there. I personally like this move.....Spielman has nothing to lose here.
And finally..... I want to say that it is not out of the realm of possibility to see the DOlphins put the FRANCHISE TAG on Konrad. He is there main FA to sign back....and if the Dolphins want to pay him within the top 5 FB's in the NFL....to prevent him from leaving....if they fear a team like the Eagles want him bad enough...then they just might...and I say might....put the tag on him. I personally do not think it is going to come down to this.....but I just want to say....that IF the Dolphins use the Franchise tag.....its certainly not going to be on CB PAUL MIRANDA.....its going to be on KONRAD.
Anyway.....Good move by RICK.....as this has absoulutely, positively, no bearing on ROB KONRAD's status...at all. I expect all 3 of these FB's to be at mini-camp....competing for 2 spots...with FEMI once again....the long-shot. And maybe even the Maryland kid will be back again.....MATT KALAPINSKI...who knows....and who cares.
