Compensation Picks For Webb And Armstrong...news...howard David?
The Annual Owners Meetings will be going on this weekend....and the league among other things should be releasing who will be getting awarded any extra "compensatory" picks---from those teams who lost some valuable free-agents..last season.
The DOLPHINS...of course...are awaiting the leagues decision on what compensatory picks they will be receiving in lieu of the FA departing last year...of LT RICHMOND WEBB, and DE TRACE ARMSTRONG.
The Dolphins are hoping for a late 4th or late 5th round compensatory pick....but they know it could be even later...as they know that so many extra picks must get spread out to so many teams. But the Dolphins feel that they had lost 2 "starting caliber"...or type A Free Agents...and feel that the league should give them the benefit of recieving something better than a late 6th and 7th rounder...as this would be the worst possible scenario.
The botttom line: Its like March Madness...you really don't know what to expect....you can see the NFL awarding the Dolphins anywhere from a late 4th...to to late 7th....for either FA losses. The DOLPHINS are probably really hoping to get a 4th round extra pick...just for the sole purpose of having two 4ths...then...they maybe can package a third and 4th....to get into the second round in the upcoming draft. Either way....at least we are going to get something.... its more ammo for SPIELMAN and his scouts....who are literally all over the country...looking at the private workouts going on..
TRAVIS MINOR is now #28...he wore number 23 at FSU..for those who were curious about the number, and why he chose it. He was offered #32...JJJ old number but refused it. He obviously could not have #23...SURTAIN.
The DOLPHINS are really waiting on the decision by LORENZO BROMELL.....their offer is on the table...but he is still looking for more. He just recently visited SEATTLE...and is still talking to the VIKINGS.
Considering that NORV TURNER had TE FREDDIE JONES last year in SAN DIEGO....I am kind of surprised that NORV has not told WANN-SPIEL to bring him in for a visit.
I think that signing WILKENS is a long-shot...although they liked him much more than PAT JOHNSON.
If BROMELL goes....then SINCLAIR will definately get looked at heavily as a replacement...but only if BROMELL goes.
CHRIS CARTER told the DOLPHINS he will get back to them...but called to see if the Dolphins were willing to offer him something.....this past WEDnesday. The Dolphins did not offer anything to CARTER...but did not shut the door on him either. It really now looks like he is running out of teams....it looks like it could be the RAMS...or the Dolphins....but in that order.
Its time to start bringing in some Punters. I understand that MITCH BERGER is not completely healthy at this point....but there are others...like KYLE RICHARDSON. MATT TURK is still asking for more than LENDATA just got...over 750,000.
DOlphins are interested in TOM ACKERMAN...as a late, pick-up. The Dolphins are still trying to restructure some contracts...and told ACKERMAN that they are interested...but they could not sign him right now.
OT TERRANCE METCALF....this is a guy who I have heard as well as FRED WEARY...that the Dolphins would like to get a shot at...but as it stands right now....they probably would need to package some picks.
FInally.....IT looks like WQam...in conjunctiion with the Dolphins...have FIRED Dolphins play-by-play man....BILL ZIMPHER and replaced him with the new man...on the WQAM morning show.....former JET and WESTWOOD 1 play-by-play man...HOWARD DAVID. JIM MANDICH...former Dolphins and COlor ANALYST...is very upset with the way that his friend and colleague was kicked out the door....in light of the trmendous credibility of HOWARD DAVID.
