Rosenhaus on Louis Delmas & Dolphins

Clemons is better than Jones. We all know this. Delmas, when healthy is a better strong safety than Jones... He's the thumping playmaking safety everybody wants Jones to be.

he was better last year than Jones, but Jones played better in 2012
 
And Phillip Wheeler did a great job 2 years ago. Lets just make him the starter because of how he played in 2012.

All that matters is who played better last year.
 
Oh Drew.....

Your old bait and switch game is out played. Please stop telling us every single player under your umbrella has some monster contract headed their way.

Just like TO had all these teams showing interest and he ends up in the Arena Football League?
 
I don't know much about delmas, but I know plenty about clemons and he hasn't done sh** of any significance since he's been here.
 
I wouldn't get too excited yet on any of this. I'm sure we are just getting used again to drive up the price somewhere else. I really can't imagine we are interested in him unless we are getting a huge deal, and I doubt that with good ole' Drew as his agent.
 
A couple of issues here. First of all, Delmas does not have the range that Clemons has and will likely give up more plays. Clemons is not a playmaker, true, but its not like Delmas is a playmaker either. Delmas only has 6 picks in 5 years and has bum knees. I just don't see Delmas as a better pickup than Clemons.

I am not happy with the personnel decisions on the defensive side of the ball. Kevin Coyle is so over-rated. He should have been canned as much as Sheman should have. It's been a steady decline in defensive performance since Coyle got here and their decision making on personnel on thatghas been bad. Coyle has to shoulder some of the blame for that as he has to be providing input on defensive personnel.

Beyond that, Rosenhaus seems to have a conflict of interest if he also represents Clemons. If I were Clemons and my agent swooped in and found a contract for a competing free safety for the team for which i am incumbent, I would fire my agent. The NFL's rules on conflicts of interest should be examined. The players need to be protected because they may not be savvy enough to see this themselves. Why would Rosenhaus point out the conflict to Clemons?
 
I'll pass on Delmas. i'd rather retain Clemons at a cheaper rate

Delmas only has a total of 6 picks in his career? Can't stay healthy? No thanks

Clemons only has 4. 3 of Delmas' were last season so he stepped up. He played in all 16 games last year so he seems to be healthy to me.

He is an upgrade to clemons in some aspects and a downgrade in other aspects.
 
Delmas is a quality option when healthy and it was worth a visit for Miami to kick the tires. I do not think he will ultimately be our choice but I would not hate it if we struck out on Byrd and Clemons wanted to leave. He fits with Jones better than Ward would imo.
