100% yes. Take from a position of strength to fill a position of need. Makes every sense.
I wouldnt be surprised if we traded merling for martellus bennett.

I like this trade only because we are stacked on D-line and we need another tight end. However, Bennett is a little over-rated, but he would def be an upgrade to our current TE situtation. If we werent so stacked on D-line though, I would say no way.....
Merling at his position is much better then Bennett at his position. And thats being unbiased. AT least Merling shows up, sometimes.. Bennett never shows up. He hasnt had a TD since 2008. Merling might be slightly below average, but Bennett is just straight garbage.

There hasn´t been much trading with the Cowboys, as much as "picking up their garbage"...
I do agree, however, we are talking about a guy who is the 5th DE on the current depth chart who is in his final year of his contract, while Bennett is still the 2nd string TE in Dallas with all the physical tools we have been salivating over. If Miami is going to part ways after the season anyways . . . I don't have a problem them rolling the dice on Bennett and maybe light a fire under him.
What do u think Merlings value is, in terms of a draft pick, at this moment?

last time Merling scored a TD too lol
I seee your point. Better to get something for him now than nothing for him later.. Id say a 5th, just because I think a 4th is too high and a 6th is too low.

So Merling is already better on offense than Bennett.. ha
