Here is a copy of the email I sent to the Dolphins with my opinion and suggestions for the Dolphin franchise. I know its a just a coincidence but I found it funny that 5 out of the 6 on my cut list are now gone. Maybe Wayne is really checking the emails? HA.
P.S. I was a little aggressive with the zach and JT trades in retrospect.

I live in NYC and have followed the Dolphins wholeheartedly all my life and I have to say this is the lowest point I can remember. I would like to make a suggestion that we finally start over and clean house. Only then can we truly have a new face and optimism for this franchise. For too long have we gone on with the same players, some good, some mediocre. I have to say that I have been really disapointed in the following players for some time and as a fan have a hard time rooting for these guys, particularly because of their huge salaries and undeperformance:
1. Chris Chambers
2. Randy McMichael
3. Jeno James
4. Donnie Spragan (not a huge salary but is not a contributor to the Defense)
5. Jeff Zgonina (not a huge salary but is not a contributor to the Defense)
6. Olindo Mare.
I would also like you to consider the following as we need draft picks and more young stars:
1. Although painful, consider trading for pics-Jason Taylor and Zach Thomas. We need young playmakers and although I love them both they deserve better than to run out their career in Miami during rebuilding.
2. Consider any coach from Pittsburgh.
Thanks,
Dan (life long Fin fan)
