Rex Grossman to workout for the Dolphins

The agent of Rex Grossman, Drew Rosenhaus, reported on SportsXtra that Grossman will work out for the #Dolphins tomorrow.

Perhaps Moore and Devlin are going to sit out Saturday's game also. Grossman is at least better than Lobato.

My guess is Grossman is probably just one of a few QB tryouts tomorrow.
 
Tin foil hat theory here but maybe they really like Jensen and they're doing everything they can to make it look like they don't like him for when he ends up on the practice squad as our third QB.

The thought had occurred to me. The fact that they cut and then re-signed him and then refused to give him even a series in the preseason game is kinda odd. Either they really are trying to stash him, or he's just that bad.

The simplest explanation is probably that he really is just that bad, though.
 
Here is a thought: Just a couple years ago the #Dolphins shut down Smiley cause of a " shoulder injury " and traded him to the Jaguars for a 7th rd pick. Im not saying, Im just saying.

Now lets look at the facts. Moore is unhealthy, he is going to cost $5 million against the salary cap, let that marinate. If Moore is really unhealthy you want $5million siting on your IR. #Dolphins could cut Moore, sign Rex much cheaper and put those $5 million else where. It's business.

If that is the strategy then they are doing an masterful job of hiding Brock's talent. That is devious Belichickian brilliant.
Come to think of it, Bill can still snatch him off the Practice Squad and waterboard him to reveal the playbook, as usual

Ireland was Moore's biggest supporter. Hickey could want to dump him, but I think this is just because they need another arm until he gets healthy again. Also because Lobato wasn't very good on Friday.

$5 MILLION more than your starting QB makes, remember that.
 
Dolphins working out several Quarterbacks on Monday

Agent Drew Rosenhaus said on his WSVN-Fox segment Sunday night that the Dolphins will work out quarterbacks on Monday, and his client, veteran Rex Grossman will be among those auditioning.

Moore has been bothered by a shoulder injury throughout training camp and did not play in Friday’s exhibition opener.

Devlin was sidelined by a hamstring injury for a week before returning during Sunday’s light practice. Though Joe Philbin has been a big supporter of Devlin the past two years, his roster spot is now very much at risk.

The Dolphins like undrafted Northern Colorado rookie Seth Lobato, but his best hope of sticking might be as a member of the practice squad.

Moore would make $4 million, with a cap number of $5.5 million, if he’s on the team this season. But his cap hit would be only $1.5 million if he’s not on the team.

Devlin’s salary and cap number would be $510,000 if he’s on the team, zero if he’s not.

Among other unsigned veteran quarterbacks still available besides Grossman: Kyle Orton, Josh Freeman, Kevin Kolb, Chris Redman and Brady Quinn (who signed as an announcer with Fox but hasn't ruled out playing). Of course, Tim Tebow is also available, but there's no indication that any team in the league has any interest whatsoever in him as a quarterback. He's now a studio analyst for the new SEC Network, which launches this month.

An extra arm for preseason and that is all. Green Bay did the same thing last year with Vince Young. Made him play the snaps and then let him go
