Whatever Happened to Orande Gadsden?

[properfin]

I used to love this guy, and then there was some issue with salary (he wanted more), then it seems like he dropped off the face of the earth. Is he out of the NFL now?

 

[PhinsRock]

Sorry, no idea.

He went into free agency and no one ever signed him. I think he owns part of an arena team in Ortlando or something now.

Thanks for the response. I think the wrist injury did him in. He could certainly catch the ball at times. Seems like he could always hold on to it pretty well too.

He does own part of an Arena team
He started O.G. clothing.
He was also at the stadium last year promoting barbeque sauce or something similarly random.
(I remember now, it was buffalo jerky I think)

He is a business man now. Never played again.

OG!!! He was one of my favorite fins of all time. He caught everything!!!!!! That guy made more highlight reels then anyone I know. I remember him having a debilitating toe injury towards the end that hampered him as well.
OG and Marino were fun to watch-I was sad to see him retire.

He was a beast I wish we gave him more money if he was still with us he would be able to make plays but think about it Chambers wouldn't be as good as he is right now so I'm happy and disopointed to see him leave and btw how old is he right now

He got hurt in that great game in Denver in 2002, and I'm not sure if he played again the rest of the season. He came back late in 2003, and made a critical first-down catch in the game against Washington (the first time the Dolphins ever wore the orange jerseys). I think there was some sort of contract dispute, and he never played again after 2003.

Yeah I know right?:D I think it was at the buffalo game (the comeback), so it was kind of like ha we are serving up some buffalo for everybody.

what about yatil green? LOL

 

[tucker]

saw him in the keys before the start of the season...he was there for the start of mini lobster season...cool guy

That was Chambers. Kennoy Kennedy, I think, hit Chambers head to head and Chambers was out for a few weeks.

And Gadsden had the best hands I have ever seen. The things he did were incredible.

I saw him last year when I worked at Joe Dimaggio Children's Hospital. He's still in the Miami area. He actually is part owner of the Miami Morays (arena team). He's a super nice guy (had him sign a cap for me). Remember those passes he used to snatch away from defenders? Well, I can honestly tell you after shaking hands with the guy, he could probably crush a cue ball. It's no wonder that defenders ended up on the short end of the stick when the ball was up for grabs. I miss Gadsden. With both he and Chambers in the redzone, we would be awsome. IMO, he was Miami's most thrilling receiver in the endzone.

they used to throw him alot of jump balls and he'd come down with them.
