The Phins have said after the draft that they're really looking forward to going back to what Norv wants to do...i.e..passing down packages consisting of a slot WR, a TE (McMichael), and Ricky. Norv wants Randy and Ricky to stay in all three downs. And they'd like to get more 2-TE sets in (another reason why they drafted Lee). As CK said, Norv's not really interested in 4 WR sets. He likes the 2-WR, Power-I attack that bludgeons you with the run game and takes you to task with play-action.

Who is Orende?
Oronde did not earn a signing bonus in the first two years of his contract. In July of 2000 he signed a three year $4M deal.
In terms of over-rating Oronde's ability, I never actually rated Oronde's ability other than to say that I would only be in favor of re-signing him for the veteran minimium.
Please, oh please, do not eat me alive
Exclusive rights free agents (ERFA) have no bargaining power...they either take the contract they are given by their respective team or detour to the nearest McDonalds and practice their smile.
I don't think we are comparing apples to apples here if you are comparing an ERFA WR to other FA WRs. Therefore, I think that Oronde got what he deserved at that time...regardless of his performance.

I believe that I said the same thing in an earlier post. I even agree with you that he got what he deserved at that time.
However, I made the further point (now for the third time) that very often in the NFL players are rewarded for over-performance by a nice contract down the road. IMO that is exactly what the Fins were offering him last year.

Screw You Guys..Im Goin Home!!!
I wonder who said this...who do you all think said this.
Nope and it probably was. McKnight wasn't too happy about sitting out a few games last year. He knows he was better than OG, and he still isn't getting the respect that he DESERVES. Besides, Chambers is in heaven, Fin heaven. He's just sitting alone as the no.1 guy and he is too quiet.
You're right, it probably was McKnight..
It was Mcknight...now he should get his chance to start..like he should have last year before OG started crying..OG is defintely a #3 security blanket and definetly should not be starting..he gives chambers no cover..but for 3rd downs he's great..and I laugh when we have him on the outside..I bet CB's just fear his deep route..and Jay needs protection to get him deep..I mean like an extra 2 seconds..and in football that's like all day.

IGNORANT!
SAY THAT TO HIS FACE, TOUGH GUY!
WHAT DO YOU MEAN "HE'S LOST YOUR RESPECT".WHO ARE YOU? HAVE YOU EVER PLAYED PRO FOOTBALL? EVER WORE A JOCK,TOUGH GUY?
YOU EXPECT HIM TO PLAY WITH A BROKEN HAND? A WR WITH A BROKEN HAND? LEARN ABOUT THE SPORT BEFORE YOU POST ANY MORE STUPID REMARKS.:fire:

Re: IGNORANT!
Actually Oronde had a torn ligament in his wrist and it was widely reported at the time that he decided to undergo season ending wrist surgery when the Dolphins did not meet his contract demands.
Before you flame me, I did play football through HS and suffered a torn ACL, a separated shoulder, torn ligaments in my ankle, two broken fingers, and a fractured vertebrae.

This thread is carrying on. Don't know how much longer it will go but just to refresh everyone's memory on the story.
