La Canfora: Dolphins exploring Dion Jordan, Mike Wallace and Cameron Wake trade

The problem with this kind of rumor is that it doesn't really matter what the Dolphins say. If it's true, they'll deny it. If it's not true, they'll also deny it.

There seems to be this instinct to believe Armando when the Dolphins tell him it's not true -- maybe because that makes the Dolphins look better -- but neither he nor the Dolphins should be considered reliable.

Armando's track record is absolutely terrible and he's been used repeatedly by the team to float things they want floated.

Yet Barry Jackson on the other hand is pretty credible, IMO. If he thinks this is bunk, I would believe him over JLC.

All Barry Jackson said is that the Dolphins told him it wasn't true. He didn't report that it wasn't actually true. Big difference. If he says the latter, I'll believe him. But the Dolphins word doesn't mean much in this kind of deal (their word doesn't mean much in general, but definitely not in situations like this).

What is the difference? How would he know it was not "actually" true? All he has to go on is what they tell him.

Just to reiterate, Dion Jordan absolutely was made available to NFL teams by the Dolphins. Um, and why would they ever "confirm" it. Please

the fact that he has to circle his story mean he was floundering in the first place, if a story is true you let it ride you don't have to cover your own ass on twitter...

I am sorry. I do not get the difference. I think the team came out really strong on this.

There's such a thing as more digging. The Dolphins call up Barry Jackson and say that LaCanfora's report is bull****. He passes that along. Then he, you know... actually does some reporting. Gets some more information. He calls people who would know -- agents, players and people in the FO who he trusts -- until he has enough information to publish a story that he thinks is true.

Such a story might corroborate what the Dolphins said. Or it might not. Barry Jackson is a good reporter so I'll tend to believe him when he comes out with that story.

This denial by the Dolphins is not that story. It's the same denial they'd make whether LaCanfora's story is true or not.

It's really not that complicated, Hayden.

Jason LieConFalsa you need more then "sources" how about names
 
Well to back up Hayden here Walrus, like Armando said the dolphins never have a comment on stuff like this. Unless they really meant it would they actually respond to both of the guys?

Listening to Hickey tends me to believe that all this is made up bull**** from JLC. You do t wanna "win now" and trade away your best players.

Do you think that Barry Jackson simply went to Twitter with exactly the Dolphins said or do you think as a terrific insider writer that he is, might have….simply might have... called an agent or two before he attached his name to this?
