Player You Wish Miami Kept Longer

[SF Dolphin Fan]

There are quite a few that come to mind, but what about Reggie Bush?

Ricky Williams

Dan Marino

Everybody always says Welker, but I don't think he would have become the player he was if he stayed in Miami. He had a decent season in Miami, but he looked more like Davone Bess than the future all-star he was with the Patriots.

There are quite a few....Dan Marino....Tim McKyer...David Griggs...Marco Coleman...Troy Vincent...Keith Jackson...Bryan Cox...Tony Martin...Adewale Ogunleye...Todd Wade...Sam Madison...Patrick Surtain...Zach Thomas...I can keep going ...

how about any of the OL the past 3 years we discarded and ended up starting on legit OL units?

Adewale Ogunleye - We simply didn't find the cash to keep him. The Chicago Bears got 6 seasons out of him. With a combination of Jason Taylor on one side and Ogunleye on the other (plus Zach Thomas, Surtain, Madison, etc) those Dolphin Defensive teams were set. Good pass rushers are so hard to find and when you let a good one go, because you elect to not pay him what he's worth, it's just stupid.

Dan Marino

In today's game maybe he could have played 20+ years.

It would have been nice to have Vincent for his entire career.

Csonka, Warfield, and Kiick. Who knows what could have been?

Anthony Carter. Traded his rights to Minnesota for Robin Sendlein, a backup LB. Imagine Duper, Clayton AND Anthony Carter.

Absolutely right.

In today’s game not only would he have played a lot longer (assuming he wanted to), he’d have been able to play a lot healthier and would have routinely posted 5-6K yard seasons and 40-60 TD’s.

John Beck

I’d add Irving Fryar to the list. Dude was an iron horse for the Dolphins and one of the better recievers they’ve had, but was only around for 3 seasons.

As he proved for 2 consecutive seasons after leaving Miami, Jimmy Johnson made a huge mistake letting him go.

These are my three as well.
