It's Only Happened ONCE!
It would be wise for Miami Dolphins to consider trading Cam Wake
In July of 2008, the Miami Dolphins traded longtime team leader and productive pass rusher Jason Taylor to the Washington Redskins. Taylor was two months shy of his 34th birthday and in the final year of his contract so the Dolphins got a second- and a seventh-round pick from Washington in the trade.
And now, eight years later, here we are in similar situation.
As in 2008, the Dolphins are breaking in a new first-time general manager, a new first-time head coach and a so-called football czar is running the football operations -- then it was Bill Parcells, now it is Mike Tannenbaum.
And like then, everyone knew the Dolphins didn't have a Super Bowl roster. Sorry, but they didn't then and don't now.
That team, flawed as it was, was trying to rebuild on the fly just as the 2016 Dolphins are trying to do.
And, yes, these Dolphins have a 34-year-old player in the final year of his contract in Cameron Wake. And Wake is a longtime team leader and productive pass rusher.
So it makes sense for this team to follow that team's wise lead and shop Cameron Wake to see if someone will bite.
Not doing this is shortsighted. Not doing this is showing fear of the possibilities -- some of them, perhaps, pretty good. Not doing this would be pulling back on something the team has already done in the past.
That's right. The Dolphins in the past have fielded inquiries about Wake's availability. The team hasn't actively shopped him, per se. But neither has it shut down talks of an exchange from prospective suitors.
And that makes sense. Cameron Wake is a great player. He's a grand commodity. He has value.
