Well, I was hoping to hold this off until after the season, but I am bored. :) So, I figured I would take a look at our roster and figure out who will most likely be gone and why. Feel free to add your opinions or add players that you see gone as well.

GONE:
Sage Rosenfels, QB.
I think he gets more money to be a backup elsewhere. He has to know that after his comeback victories and still not getting another chance that his time here is limited.

Travis Minor, RB.
Quite frankly, he isn't needed here. Ronnie Brown, Ricky Williams and Sammy Morris are ahead of him on the depth chart at RB. Plus, Welker and Gilmore at the minimum fill his duties on special teams. Look for him to play elsewhere in 2006.

David Boston, WR
The experiment is over. We gave him another shot and he came up lame again. No need to fill a roster spot with, at this point, a player who can't stay healthy. I wish him the best and more than likely, he ends up somewhere on a vet. min. salary.

Joe Berger, G
Uhhh, he hasn't done much but give up a sack. He can, and will be replaced by someone else.

Stockar McDougle, G
Quite possibly the biggest dissapointment from our FA signing period. I really thought that this one year deal and a chance to start would fire him up. Add to that that Hudson Houck couldn't seem to get through to him and you can throw him the heck out of Miami A.S.A.P.

Josh Shaw, DT
Don't worry, he will be cut and brought back multiple times next season. Just don't unpack your bags Josh...

Keith Traylor, DT
I would love to have him back. However, he seems to feel he won't be welcomed back and if he is getting that vibe, me thinks someone told him that. I am sure Saban knows what is best for his team, but keeping Traylor seems like a good idea. I oculd see him signing with Buffalo if he moves on though.

Jeff Zgonina, DT
Again, a bubble player. He has done adequate when called upon, but with the emergence of Manny Wright and the return of Vickerson next year, he will be squeezed out. I am hopeful he remains a free agent in case we need some veteran help down the stretch. He won't be though.

Eddie Moore, LB
He wil be let go, and promptly injure himself leaving the facility. He can't leave soon enough for me.

Junior Seau, LB
Great player, great leader but time to move on. I really think he has helped Crowder get to where he is and I would LOVE to see him end his career back in San Diego and then come back to us as a LB coach in 2007.

Reggie Howard, CB
:fire: :fire: :fire: :fire: :fire: :fire: :fire: :fire:

Eddie Jackson, CB
When you get pulled in FAVOR of Reggie Howard, you should know you suck. Actually, I could see Jackson sticking around because he seems to do pretty well on special teams but I want him away from the defensive backfield.


Well, there you have it. Others may go including: McKinney, McIntosh, Madison, Schulters etc. but I felt that the players listed above were the most obvious and will probably the areas all of us agree on need work in the future.

Players like Traylor, Seau and Zgonina will be missed but they will, or already have, been replaced with cheaper, YOUNGER alternatives. It should make our defense faster and more dangerous in the long run, assuming our draft picks continue to improve.
 
I think McKinney, Minor, and Howard are no-brainers. We definitely won't be paying Howard as much as we are to perform poorly again next year. I already considered Boston gone, anyway.

Dunno if Seau and Traylor would be willing to make financial compromises to stay, but I didn't think Traylor's number was all that bad to begin with.
 
I f ur going to make a thread then at least spell players correct. McKinney has held his own lately. Howard shud be gone. Minor is solid ST player. And decent 3rd down back, or was until Brown and Ricky so who knows .
 
I agree pretty much with everything, Seth McKinney should be brought back if he comes pretty cheap. He hasnt played all to bad this year and maybe he will live up to his potential FINALLY!!!

I'm sure they'll be some opposition to this....but I think you add Ronnie Brown to the list. If you can get two important links to the offensive line out of him, take it! Ricky will than run for over 2500 yards in 2006 and you can count on the Dolphins winning the Super Bowl! :)

Ummmmmmmm..........NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! Do you realize the cap hit we would take if we traded Ronnie. :shakeno:
 
I would have to dissagree on some of your guys you put up there. I don't think that Traylor will be leaving because he says that he will play next year and he has been playing pretty well for us all seaosn long. He stops the RB's who try to run in the middle and he also puts pressure on QB's. Saban would love to have a player like that on this team for atleast one more year.

After what Sage has done this year, I think that it would be in our best interest to keep Sage for atleast 2 years. He would be a great #2 guy for us.

I pretty much agree with the rest of the players you put in there.

Berger is only a rookie. It's a bit premature to write him off.

You're going to ban Ace just because he disagrees with the original poster??? A forum is place for discussion where people should be free to have whatever opinion they desire.
