- The Dolphins are in active negotiations with tight end Charles Clay and there is cautious optimism that a deal will get done. According to Jackson, the team loves the duo of Clay and Dion Sims and want to do everything they can to keep the two together.
- While the Dolphins would love to re-sign Jared Odrick, they feel that his price tag may be too high. Odrick can easily land a deal on the open market for more than $7 million dollars per year and the Dolphins don't want to go more than $6 million per year. They will make an offer to keep him but he will likely test the market before finalizing his decision.
- Jimmy Wilson is considered a priority signing for the Dolphins because of his versatility in the backfield. Wilson has played just about every everywhere - outside corner, slot corner and both safety positions. In addition, he's one of the better players on special teams.
- Mike Wallace has been approached by the team about taking a pay cut but the situation still hasn't been resolved. Expect little action until we get closer to March 15, when his $3 million dollar roster bonus becomes fully guaranteed. If the Dolphins bring back Wallace, it's widely expected that Brian Hartline and Brandon Gibson will be let go. If they don't keep Wallace, one or both of those can come back.
- According to Jackson, the team wants to keep Rishard Matthews. He has shown signs of immaturity in the past but the team likes his talent and believes he can continue to grow into a young man and help the team on a consisdent basis.
- All plans still point to the Dolphins moving Mike Pouncey back to the center position. They would like to re-sign Samson Satele for depth on the line but know they will face competition on the open market.
