I think he should restructure to help the team with the cap so we can acquire some better free agents. 7 million is a bit high especially for his lousy 2006 performance. Chambers can help the Dolphins be better in 2007 by being a team player and taking a pay cut.:dolphins::evil::dolphins:
 
I think he will, he is a team guy. he said he likes MIAMI and wants to play here.

Look for a few of the players to restructure.
 
Chris Chambers has several reasons to restructure. First off is his performance. Secondly, and almost more importantly, he was very vocal about bring Daunte Culpepper here. If anyone should feel the need to help Daunte return to form, it should be Chambers.
 
That's a great idea. let's restructure his contract so we get stuck with him even longer :lol: No thanks hopefully Chambers get's traded instead.

well i think the opposite of what Ice thinks...

Chambers won't restructure, and i think he's hit his ceiling of performance here already. If we can get decent trade value out of him (2nd or early 3rd + others), we should pull the trigger.

if not, we'll just have to eat it.

Guys, he's on his 7th year. SEVENTH. How long does a player have to be mediocre before you guys finally throw in the towel? This is a business, and i want to win. He can "want" to be on the team all he wants. Heck I want to be on the dolphins... but i'm not going to help them win.

Let's see how he does with a healthy Culpepper.

a good WR doesn't need a pro-bowl caliber QB to produce.

Why you rolling your eyes, I'm having a conversation here.


Chambers had nobody throwing him the ball this year. Last year Gus did a decent job for us, plus Chambers was in the slot more too.

i'm rolling my eyes at that argument, not you... no worries.

people say that a lot: "wait till he has a healthy so-and-so", "wait till he has a good QB"..... well we DON'T have a healthy so-and-so, and we DON'T have a good QB. If he has to be in the perfect system with a great QB to perform, then he belongs on another team that HAS that.

Point being he is getting paid in the top-tier of WRs in the league, and he is not even a true #1. Do you know how many teams in the NFL haven't had 1,000 yard WR's in 4 of the last 5 years?

Miami, San Francisco, & Atlanta. that's it.

so where does that leave us? with an overpaid, underperforming WR. You can blame it on any number of factors... but it just isn't working. There are plenty of WRs on crappier teams who can put up yardage and perform at the level they are paid to. Arizona, Detroit, Houston, and Cleveland are crappier teams that have 1,000 yard WRs in recent years.

just food for thought.

I hear ya, I just want Chambers to have another great year like he did in 2005.I do think that he will restructure, and with Cams new offense it may just well benefit in Chambers favor, if not then maybe it is time part ways with him. Is that fair????
 
You guys are living in dreamland if you think that everyone who's overpaid and under performing is going to restructure their contract to help the team out...lol

Not really, if these overpaid players as you say, like the team they are on and want to stay, I'm sure they would restructure.:cooldude:

Cam's offense is not conducive to that.... what WR has San Diego had that has had 1,000 yards? only the TE....

Cam's offense is RB & TE heavy. If anything you'll see McMike with a larger role, but you won't see CC "flourish" by any stretch of the imagination.
 
I like Chambers, and I still think he has a lot of potential. Maybe only as a #2 slot guy, maybe as a #1 with a solid running game and a receiving threat on the other side of the line.

BUT... I am getting sick of people that keep making excuses for him while refusing to acknowledge the facts that: 1) He is maddeningly inconsistent, making the great catch and then letting the critical 3rd down pass bounce off his hands; and 2) he drops *a lot* of balls that should be caught, regardless of who is throwing them. More than he should as a #1, elite WR.

So when I read this in Football Outsiders, I thought i would go ahead and post it. It, unlike some of the overly emotional CC fans, deals with facts. Interesting analysis.

"Chambers’ name has come up a lot at FO over the past 12 months. Why? He’s a fascinating player with the skill set to match, and because the gap between his perceived value and his actual value is so high. Even when his repeated struggles are pointed out, many Dolphins fans will offer him excuses about this year’s model of Dolphins quarterback, even after the starting quarterback count throwing to Chambers touched about 35 this season. It’s worth noting that Chambers had a hand in 74 incompletions this year! That’s 18 and a half drives! That’s two games worth of nothing but incompletions to Chris Chambers on offense."
