Not much left in FA Miami can use but, Jamie Collins appears to be an exception. He is 31, a FA and got $3M last year when he was good across the board and can covere Pats system .
He knows the Pats D scheme as well as our coaches and would be a great mentor for our rookie while helping our below average LB's.

have to take a shot here for a bargain.
 
Has he been good recently?

What role do you envision for him on the team? He wouldn’t be starting over any of the current guys. Isn’t a pass rusher… so what exactly would be the point I guess. Not sure it’s a logical, or good move really. I thought his play had slipped some in recent years
 
I think the dolphins roster is at the point where these are the kinds of moves you should make. They look pretty good across the board on paper, but are still not a very deep team in a lot of areas, especially LB. A couple injuries and all of a sudden we’d have some pretty glaring weaknesses. I’d give out a few more cheap 1 year deals to proven vets who can still play to lessen the risk of injury, provide leadership etc. Just like they did with Melvin Ingram. LB, G, and two tackles would be the positions of most need. Don’t let an armstead injury make the OL league worst again!!!

Like the Gorilla used to say, highly unlikely. Especially if we get any kind of production out of any of the other TE's we have on the roster.

With a young and upcoming team, I always think about what young player a vet can block? Not saying it's a bad idea. Just wondering
 
I think we are set until the right person becomes available at the right price through cuts or trades.
 
Collins played 336 snaps last year and PFF ranked him as the #7 LB. Baker was #55 and Roberts was #52 but provide good pressure which is their main job. Where they and we are extremely lacking is in coverage. Same with Tindall who did not have a defended pass his whole college career but I do think he can learn to and has the speed to do so.
Collins was #6 in coverage and would fill a glaring need for a year while the rookie learns. I do not see a down side for a couple or three million.

The season will help determine that

My thoughts exactly. I lean towards not extending, but only because I think some team may offer him more than makes sense for us to pay.

Soooooo.......... #55 and #52? Aren't those their jersey numbers?

If you are trying to tell me that Bake is the 55th rated LB in the league, I ain't buying it, and Roberts sure as hell isn't above him. Collins also isn't even close to the 7th best LB, in any aspect of play.

Me thinks you are confused.

I am not trying to tell or sell you on anything. I am stating fact as to what PFF had to say. Last time I looked PFF was working for all 32 NFL teams and the one who everyone used for rankings.

I have to wonder if the confusion may be on your side,

The link doesn't say anything about him being ranked #7, nor anything at all about our LBs PFF ranking coincidentally matching their jersey numbers. Says he had a big fat 22 solo tackles (tied for 91st) and a whopping 8 assists (tied for 88th).

For comparison, Bake had 60 solo, 30 asst, 5.5 sacks and 9 TFL.

I'm not confused at all about who is the better LB at this point in their respective careers. Can you provide a link that supports what you posted?
