I think we get one big free agent signing, maybe Matt Flynn, and a couple of bargains then re-sign Paul Solai and Cam Wake.
If we secure Peyton or Flynn before the draft, the smart thing to do would be to use the 1st pick on a RT/RG. As much as it may frustrate certain fans, its purely the best football decision. It all starts on the line of scrimmage. It wouldn't be a bad move, and the drafting of a offensive lineman in that 1st round would give us the opportunity to focus on D for the majority of the draft.I just hope we dont get our ROL via free agency. It rarely works. alot of money on guys who eat alot. seen bills and redskins do this and even us, never seems to work. Some deep Tackle talent in this draft IMO.
It's never the best plan to reach for a player simply because it's a position of need, outside of the most important position in football (Tannehill comes to mind). The only lineman worth even discussing at that pick is DeCastro. Further, our pass rush is just as much of a need, if not more.If we secure Peyton or Flynn before the draft, the smart thing to do would be to use the 1st pick on a RT/RG.

Would you like me to move it?Am I in the cap space forum? I thought I clicked on a different one.

So many possibilities this off-season. Where do we spend this money? Should we even spend the money just for the sake of it? Do we focus more on offense or defense? Will QB be the highest paid addition to the team? Should it be? Who do we say goodbye to and let test free agency? They're many questions yet to be answered, but in that uncertainty should at least give you some comfort that for better or worse...the Miami Dolphins will be a different football team in 2012-13.
That's the lust for a skilled player position talking. Fact is, if we sign a QB through free agency before the draft, it would be a shock to me that they go any other place outside of OL. I understand you don't wanna draft need, plus our certain history with a so called O-line guru. But we have to make an investment and get more athletic on the right side of the line. It would fix a glaring need immediately. I just want a dominant offensive line...helps in both the pass and run game.It's never the best plan to reach for a player simply because it's a position of need, outside of the most important position in football (Tannehill comes to mind).

A RG and/or RT can be found later in the draft and/or through FA. It doesn't take much to replace Colombo, just a little homework on the players available, which may be too much to ask of Ireland.
Omar's accounting is good but I think his declaration that last year's salary cap was $123.4 million is a misleading figure. Omar neglected to stipulate that the cap was actually $120.4 million with up to $3 million you could add to your salary cap by "borrowing" against future salary caps. As part of the new CBA, the NFL allowed teams individually to borrow up to $3 million from future caps to add onto their 2011 spending limit, in order to ease the transition back to a salary cap environment. The NFL also allows teams to "borrow" up to $2 million this year to pump up their 2012 spending limits as needed.
we should take a nice look at mario williams along with flynn/rg3/peyton for our qb situation
dont really want to sign wake to a extension want him to prove himself this year as well i dont really think the FO knows how to give a extension yet due to one excellent year and one good/meh year
we shouldnt spend just to spend we have key players for OUR team becoming free agents after this current year like R.Bush, C.Wake
