The Dolphins will release Gus Frerotte if there isn't a CBA extension by Sunday night.
Frerotte is the 'Fins' most obvious target as his cap number is $7 million. However, if a CBA is reached, Miami would be $5-10 million under the cap. At this stage, Frerotte's release is officially pending. Mar. 4 - 10:44 am et


LeCharles Bentley denied a report he'll sign with the Eagles on Monday.
The two-time Pro Bowler is clearly not returning to New Orleans. "I would rather sit out a season than play for the Saints again," he said. "If anyone in that organization has any questions about whether I gave everything I had while I was there, then they can go to hell." Mar. 4 - 11:59 am et

The Dolphins could be interested in likely salary cap-casualty Willie McGinest.
McGinest expects to get cut by Monday, when the free agency period officially begins and teams must come under the salary cap. Mar. 4 - 11:30 am et

Free agent S Lance Schulters is not expected to return to Miami.
If that's the case, the Dolphins would be left with two players who started games last season - SS Travares Tillman and second-year CB Travis Daniels. Clearly, the secondary will be a high priority area for the 'Fins. Mar. 4 - 11:34 am et

The Dolphins could consider CB/S Jimmy Williams with the #16 pick in April's draft.
Miami is expected to trade up for a quarterback, but could also sign Drew Brees. Williams would make sense for the Dolphins but may be long gone by 16. Coach Nick Saban loves taller defensive backs. Mar. 4 - 11:38 am et

Free agent C Justin Hartwig's chances of getting a big contract are slim.
Hartwig, 27, is an excellent lineman who's versatile and young. But the presence of other quality free agent centers including LeCharles Bentley decrease his market value. Hartwig is a Drew Rosehaus client. Mar. 4 - 1:53 pm et

The Titans will try to re-sign S Tank Williams.
The 6-3 Williams would fit in well for the Dolphins and could draw modest market value. He's expected to be fully recovered from 2004 knee surgery for the upcoming season after appearing sluggish last year. Mar. 4 - 1:55 pm et

Junior Seau is a cap-casualty candidate.
The 16-year vet's 2005 campaign ended in week seven with a calf injury. We see the Bolts giving the future Hall-of-Famer a one-year deal for the minimum to return home. Mar. 4 - 3:18 pm et

DE Kevin Carter could be cut.
It'd be ironic for the 32-year old NFLPA representative - who's currently taking in part in the labor negotiations for a new Collective Bargaining Agreement - to come home and be unemployed. Mar. 4 - 3:31 pm et

(On Frerotte) - If he gets cut, he gets cut. No hard feelings there. Gus is that kind of QB. He travels around and plugs gaps. Miami needs to focus on Drew Brees. If that means using money that would be spent on Gus, so be it.

(On Bentley) - Alot of people will be targeting him. If he really wants to come to Miami and commit to Saban's program, then I would like to see him signed. But I have doubts about him fitting into the Dolphin system.

(On McGinest) - Forget McGinest. Please do not sign this player. Miami does not need him on the defense. Thomas is the leader and could use some younger talent around him. GET AN LB IN THE DRAFT!!

(On Schulters) - This is too bad. I would have liked to see Miami resign him. But if the price is too high, it just can't be done. Miami is going to need to get a DB in free agency somewhere to replace the gap him and Tebuckey Jones filled.

(On Jimmy Williams) - I wouldn't mind seeing Miami take this guy at #16 if he is there.

(On Junior Seau) - Why isn't he cut yet?

(On Kevin Carter) - I think the D-line played OUTSTANDING last season. It would be great to keep them intact for the 2006 season. I would hate to see him go so soon.
 
No problem guys. I am disturbed about Schulters also, I am a big fan of him.
 
yea i wish we could keep shulters, hes a great player and he really hates the jets!!!!

Pretty succint. Good post. nice blend of emotion and realism :D

some can't separate them.
 
Very nice work Coach. Hope you do this more then once, it was appreciated greatly. Very easy to read.

Thank You.
 
I would hate to see Kevin Carter go but if we have to cut him I know Saban will find a quality replacement.

He said this was his last stop and was one of few FA's signed to a long contract and has already said he would restructure so I see him going no where. Besides that we have Manny and Vickerson who will be awesome. I say that because of the way Manny came on and played last year and Vickerson was getting all praise before those cheap shotting Falcons took him out.
 
Great post Coach, thanks for all the info. I would hate to lose Carter's leadership. I'm sure he's helping Manny and Vickerson.
 
I don't understand why Bentley wants to go to Philly so bad. He'd be going from a dome team to a cold outdoor team. I just don't know why he's chosing them over all the other teams. That would be the last place I'd want to play.
 
Wow, I had no idea KC was the NFLPA rep. That's pretty cool.
