Last week, appearing on Romeo in the Morning on Hot 94.1 in Bakersfield, California, Porter's home town, the enigmatic linebacker told the show host that he didn't want to return to the Dolphins in 2010. He repeated the complaints he made to Sparano -- that he wasn't happy with his role, that he wasn't happy about being benched.
And then, according to two listeners who heard the interview and e-mailed me to report what was said, Porter and Romeo discussed what teams Porter would be happy playing for going forward. Porter discussed wanting to play for a team closer to home. The two joked about Porter not going to the Raiders because Romeo is a fan of the Kansas City Chiefs. (The Chiefs and Raiders are traditional rivals.)
I reached out to Romeo to get a copy of the show, but he said he couldn't help because he does not archive his show. That's the reason I cannot directly quote what Porter said on the air.

Jeff Sperbeck, Porter's California-based agent, is expected to meet with the Dolphins in Mobile, Ala., this week. Sperbeck declined to speak to The Herald on this topic. But he is expected to seek clarity about the issues Porter had with the team and those the team had with Porter while he and the Miami staff are at the Senior Bowl conducting business.

**** you then Joey. We don't need your ***.

But really, this helps us out. Now we can willingly get rid of him, without him being a big baby about it.

So long and thanks for all the fish.
 
So what can we get for him? A 3rd maybe?

HA!

We won't be getting anything for Peezy. Its clear that both sides are ready to part ways. Why would a team trade for him when they know he'll be released shortly?
 
I can't see getting more than a 6th. Most likely he'll be cut but nothing will happen until March.
 
Even if he loved the Dolphins and wanted to retire as one i still believe his *** is outta here. His play this year was embarrassing. He ended the season with like 48 tackles and 9 sacks. He had a game or 2 where he played the entire game and never recorded a tackle. As a veteran and a supposed leader thats just not acceptable. I know he battled an injury all year so he may not have been 100% but thats no excuse. If he was hurtin that much he shouldve sat out.
 
So long pezzy.. But watch him play 1 good game all next year vs us some how
 
Maybe if they let him go nicely he won't punch any holes in the walls or send some goons in to beat someone up he doesn't like...
 
I think we can realistically get a 5th or 6th rounder for him. How you ask.?

Well theres more then a couple of teams who need help in the pass rush department. A team might step in and say heck I am willing to give up a 5th or 6th rounder for him if he is willing to restructure his contract and not allow him to hit the market if he was cut.

He did have a bad year, but he still has 2 or 3 good years left in him where a team thats on the cusp and looking for some more pressure from their Defenese might want to pull the trigger. There also might be a DC out there who think they can do a better job with JP then what the fins did this last year.

I would be delighted and ecstatic if we got a 5th for him to make up for the 5th we are missing.
