our DT situation

[SR 7]

Ok in the herald it said that miami isn't goin 2 resign traylor. Wilk. Ziggy or carter. Now we have holliday DT/E and evans wright n wright....vickerspnm is a FA right?

Do u think we r tradin up for branch or is it 100% only for quinn? I believe its for quinn but if we don't go DT in FA I doubt we go with those only on our roster. Rem, if we move up no 3rd n 4th most likely n mayve a 2nd on DT? Interesting 2 think bout.

I'd be all for Marcus Thomas in the 3rd or 4th. :D

Top 20 talent that just needs to stay clean.

 

[Gunit1]

I don't think that we trade up at all. We take Quinn or Russell if either should fall to us or the best defensive player available. If Plummer goes to Tampa, which as of now it looks as if he will retire, we would have a real good shot at landing one of the QB's.

 

[SR 7]

Vickerson was just drafted 2 years ago, he's not a FA.

yes he is a FA and now its OFFICAL.

Thomas is good but can be another pacman.

Maybe we think Alan Branch will slide to 9, and if not, maybe we are giving Okoye a lot of attention(though he isn't a NT).

 

[MrEd]

Vickerson is so a FA. Once a team decides "not" to tender an ERFA offer...he automatically becomes an UFA. So Vickerson "is" an UFA.

Yeah, with the Miami Herald reporting that MIA will not be re-signing Traylor or are thinking of cutting Big Daddy...it leaves us with only Manny, Evans, and Fifita as the only NTs on the roster. None have started a game in the NFL.

There is no way that MIA cuts ties with "both" Traylor "and" Wilkinson. How would Capers go into the season with no veterans and all youngsters or rookies?

I see either Traylor being re-signed soon...or Big Daddy staying put.

Easy Killer, I posted that before he was released. I was just referencing his original deal. I know how the FA process works.

 

[Geforce]

IF Traylor is resigned, it will be just before the start of training camp in June or July. He's an older veteran who already knows the system and it will save some wear and tear on his body so he'll be ready for the season.

In other words, I will be surprised if he's signed before the draft.

I wouldn't depend on Manny Wright for much. I think he has great potential.
He did however start a couple games in 05 when Traylors knee went out at the end of the season, didn't he?

No he didnt. Zgonina started those two games and Manny got playing time off the bench. But he didnt start.

 

[Regan21286]

What we need is a NT. We have a few guys who can play DT, Evans, Vickerson, Zgonina(?), Holliday, Manny(?). Only Traylor can play NT. Paul Soliai in the draft is a very good NT prospect if he can settle his character issues, but hey, if Vick has been clean so far, it's very possible.

Rodrique Wright. 300 lbs and probably has been a workout warrior. He has had nothing else to do so......If not.......he was a wasted 7th rounder......but not likely.

I believe R.Wright had shoulder surgary and spent last year on IR. This upcoming year is his to make or break.
