derek hagan coming into the draft prior to the senior workouts and game was at the top of alot of teams lists as the number one wide out.. he has the best route running skills already on the dolphins roster and he always seemed to be open.. im glad to hear that he is starting to make great strides in his catching skills.. if this becomes a reality, which i believe is so, miami would probably be comfortable enough to relieve booker of his duties. i wouldnt think that would be a problem anyways since cameron likes athletic guys, speed wise, on the team... ie hakim, or cambell... i believe hakim would be the best to keep on the team since he could be insurance so if something happens, god forbid, to ted ginn jr... so our five reciever set would be something like
1.chambers
2.hagan
slot gin
wing hakim
5. david sutton/ pk sam (youth reasons)
 
Why get rid of MBooker? Unless we could trade him... cutting him would be senseless... and it doesnt like anyone is intersted in trading for him...
 
yeh i wouldn't get rid of Marty right now man. dude gets first downs. we can talk about drops but then we look at cc and the afore mentioned hagan and they had more. booker should stay on the team unless so crazy **** happens then i don't see him off this team.

Wow...did you watch any of the games last year? Booker is clearly the best WR on our team. Take a look at the Buffalo and NYJ games at the end of the year last year when Booker was hurt and you can see how "AWFUL" of an idea it is to get rid of Booker. However, getting rid of CC...NOT a bad idea.
 
A lot of people on this board really underrate Marty Booker. It will take a lot more than potential for him to be bumped out of his starting job by either Hagan or Ginn.
​
 
hagan seemed impressive in mini camp and he did always get open in his routes lats year. i like him a lot.
 
Booker needs to go if we ever want to see Hagan develop
 
without a doubt in my mind i agree that booker is a good reciever but, we need to think about the future in my mind.. he is too expensive! and the thought of us getting rid of chambers is rediculous... one bad season and everyones calling for his head.. the guy gets doubled up all game.. give me a break marty is no where as good as chambers
 
Why pay Booker 3.7 million when Hagan or Sam or Campbell may actually be more effective, and we pay these other guys peanuts.

The question of why get rid of Booker is naive to say the least. When are you guys going to grow up and learn that the NFL is a business with extremely demanding parameters?

ok... cutting Booker to save room on the cap this year would be wise... if we had a need for the extra cap room. But we dont... we have the cap space to keep him. So why not hold on to him... develop Hagan 1 more year... and then let Marty go next offseason?

We dont need the cap space he would give us... and to clear cap space just to clear it with no real reason is rediculous. We cut McMike to clear up space... but it was so we could sign Porter. We arnt going to be signing anyone that we would need to clear space for... so hold on to him...
 
am i the only one who remembers the reports that Miami was shopping Booker? I don't think its a reach that Marty Booker's time is limited.
 
I think it is evident that the Dolphins were/are shopping Booker in an effort to clear cap space and get younger. Hagan needs to step up this year and show he can be a starter in this league. Marty is a solid guy and I would like to see him stick around but I would rather see Hagan given a chance.
I don't think we cut Booker though at this stage, as that would be for minimal gain cap wise and we lose a proven guy. If however, someone wants to trade for him then fine.

How is he expensive? You must be confusing him with the 7million dollar man (Chris Chambers).
Booker makes what an average veteran starting WR makes and he plays up to his contract.
You know nothing about football if you make an outlandish statement that he is nowhere near as good as Chambers. He won't win a sprint with CC, but he plays smarter, reads coverages better, blocks better and runs better routes.
