Miami Dolphins' Adam Gase: Jordan Cameron is a fit

[DKphin]

Dolphins head coach Adam Gase just spoke to the media in Indianapolis and the biggest revelation was that Jordan Cameron is in the team's plans for 2016.
You'll recall Cameron is one of the ten offseason cap moves the Dolphins will or should be considering. That's because he caught only 35 passes in 2015 and is scheduled to cost $9.5 million against the salary cap. And cutting him would save the Dolphins $7.5 million, which begs serious consideration.
But the Dolphins are apparently planning for Cameron to be on the team.
Gase said "the wide out and the tight end group we feel great about."
Well, Cameron is the starting tight end. And Dion Sims is the backup tight end. And that is the core of the tight end group. So, Cameron.
Later during his presser, Gase mentioned that the new coaching staff has studied Cameron and he "fits" what the team is going to try to do on offense in 2016.
"Obviously the tight end position is something we've made a living on in this offense over the past three years," Gase said. "So both those guys (including Sims) I really see a great fit as far as what we do."

Dear FO,

Fix our damn o-line so our TE's are not a 6th offensive lineman like they were last year and they can become the pass catching threats you paid them to be.

Sincerely,

Have to at least re-structure the guy if we are keeping him. Otherwise, it's silly to have him as one of our top 7 highest-paid players

 

[hoops]

target Josiah price of michigan state in the 4th round as the 3rd tight end...

 

[NoblePhin]

He's a pro bowl tight end if we use him as a deep vertical threat and not a blocker/5yrd pickup artist.

Seriously Philbin and his staff misused so many players who knows what players can be successful. Cameron has the athletic ability and play making history to be great if Gase uses him to Cameron's skills. And this is Gase's specialty. We shall see.

I don't doubt that Cameron is a fit. But not for $9.5 million. We've got to do something with that number. That being said, I don't believe anything a coach or a front office member says about any player this time of year.

 

[hoops]

Yep at $9.5 mil i dont see it either...they should keep him but i doubt they are ok with that cap commitment on the books

 

[nate5413]

Lower the number. Fix the oline and let this guy run routes. Guy was a stud with the browns. I think gase can use him correctly.

 

[russianbear]

if he's a fit i reckon there's a restructure/extension in his future

 

[Gonzo]

Completely misused, talented player. Extend him with a reasonable contract or cut him and let him test the market if he's not interested and hopefully get a shot to re-sign him. Not overly difficult.

A nice thing about Cameron is he held up from a full year of contact. We got thru a full year without scrambled eggs, to use one of JT's classic lines. That was a huge victory in view of some of his prior issues. We took a calculated risk there on concussions.

I would re-do the contract, maybe spreading the dough out on like a three year deal, and let's go.

 

[DuderinoN703]

Restructure and let him run routes all year instead of blocking for assbites like Jason Fox and Dallas Thomas.

Cammeron caught more balls under Philbin than Cambell kind of ironic as Cambell was a tight end. Jordan Cameron is not a blocking tight end so that was a waste in a sense on Cambells part.

I need another thumb so I can thump-up this post twice.
