Why DE Dion Jordan needs to receive one more chance with the Miami Dolphins

[fisi]

For two reasons.

1. Jordan is still only 27 years old, and he's under contract with the team for one more season after his numerous suspensions led to him having one season on his contract not count, which is why his deal hasn't yet expired. He was drafted for a reason, to rush the passer and to also have some use covering tight ends. He is an athlete.


2. The fact of the matter is, Miami has absolutely nothing to lose by keeping Jordan on the roster, nothing except a roster spot during the offseason, which will simply mean there will be one less fringe player attempting to prove they can contribute on special teams.

It's really incredible to consider that he is a 27-year old former #3 overall pick...who has never accomplished a single thing in the NFL. And we are still talking about his potential. Sad situation.

Overhyped "athlete"

Jeff Ireland sucks.

That whole 1st round was horrible though. 2013 was awful to suck

Despite what the article claims, Jordan does have a roster bonus of 2.5m this year. No idea when it's supposed to be paid, but there's no way we're paying it, I think.

Dont disagree at all. Weve long accepted hes a bust and the pick was wasted (like 40%+ of 1st round picks) so at this point were playing with house money on him.

Plus some people respond well to desparation.

I would rather see him get one more chance. What's there to lose really? If he responds under a better coaching staff that's a huge bonus. I've always felt the talent was there and if he can combine that with more effort, better maturity and desperation who knows?

 

[DefensiveEnd76]

Would rather see Jordan as an OLB. By looking at the last photo of him he is huge (bulging muscles) and looks like he's 280 or more.

Is he even healthy?

He had a roster bonus, pretty certain there are no more guaranteed bonuses allowed on his deal. Don't know if it is now base salary or something, but we don't owe him anything if we cut bait in the final cuts.

Essentially a free offseason look to see if he can give us one decent year.

5th year option is available but that number is laughable.

You know your Defense has depth issues if you kept someone like this around for asome long as we have

The team should make a "ring of dishonor" at HSS. He would be the ultimate member.

Cecil Collins, Jon Martin, and Incognito would be members.

Might as well put every QB since Marino left up there. And the coaches. and the GMs. Maybe just one sign mentioning all of them

And they could put all their names on a plaque above the urinals in the stadium rest rooms.

He's trash like a majority of our first round picks have been. Tannehill has been the only bright spot in Near a decade minus tunsil and even he was over drafted.
