Dion Jordan Trade Rumors: Dolphins regret not making deal with Eagles

[fisi]

Not long after Dennis Hickey became general manager of the Miami Dolphins he got a phone call from the Philadelphia Eagles. They were interested in making a trade for Dion Jordan.

The Dolphins were not interested.

It was a short conversation and that was that. Reports that the Dolphins were actively shopping Jordan (and others) were not correct. But one team -- the Eagles -- were indeed interested in the third overall selection of the 2013 draft.

Salguero wonders now, in light of Jordan's second four-game suspension, if Miami regrets not trading Jordan when they had the chance.


You think the Dolphins wish they could have a do-over on this opportunity?

If they had known then what they know now about Jordan, I'm thinking that phone call with the Eagles might have gone a lot longer. And it might have led to more phone calls. And a trade.

That's because right now Dion Jordan -- who has tested once for banned amphetemines and once for so-called street drugs since March -- is serving what will eventually amount to a six-game suspension. The suspension is costing him $1,653,358.50. But it is also costing him his reputation such as it is.

Just another Mando turd thrown at the wall to see if it sticks...

Salguero wonders if they regret it? Kinda pointing out the obvious at this point. IMO. He wont be traded now, so we can only hope he turns things around while he is a Dolphin but odds are against it.

And if the Dolphins signed Drew Brees over Culpepper... if my aunt had nuts she'd be my uncle.

I absolutely loved Jordan coming out. There's so much he can do on a football field, including having the athletic ability to matchup in the passing game versus tight ends.

That said, if I'm Dennis Hickey I'm looking for another pass rusher in the draft. It's so vital to get pressure on the quarterback and Jordan now is a risk for another suspension if he can't get his act together. That, combined with the age of Wake, and pass rusher is a big need going forward.

Would be fun to know if there was an offer from the iggles.

Pre draft swap Jordan for Johnson....both end up suspended but this would have happened pre tests. Basically a swap of spots the last draft and we don't draft James this year cause we have a RT

Or

This coming years first... Number 3 pick year before and we get most likely bottom half first rounder back. (Plausible)

Or

Brandon Grahm and a 3rd

Anyone of those above you would have done? Remember this is pre suspension. Feel free to add your own

The cap ramifications made this never possible.

Thank you. We would've ate like 13 million or something ridiculous. They could have offered us a 1st rounder and brandon graham and we still would have said no because of the money.

Yea I get that, but with the eagles and for a swap for Johnson. Both teams would get the cap hit, would that have worked? I don't know just thinking since they prob have a very similar contract being number3,4 in the draft

Can't be more than the regret I feel when I accidently read something by Salguero. It's kind of like when you go to fart and accidently sh*t your pants! Now, that's an experience you only want to have happen once in your life, if ever. ;-)

It does not work like that unfortunately.

But what about John Harbaugh wanting to axe Rice in Feb but was overruled?

And if the Dolphins signed Drew Brees over Culpepper... if my aunt had nuts she'd be my uncle.

Bottom line; all these crying over spilled milk threads are irritating.
