Denard has only been working out as a receiver. The thing is that he's well behind the actual receivers, and it's a deep year for receivers. The fact that there aren't a lot of clear-cut first rounders, yet there is a lot of depth suggests it'll be a pretty big log jam in the 2nd and 3rd rounds. I think 3rd round is a reach on him.
Looking like the Dolphins are on the verge of getting Dustin Keller instead, whom I honestly like better. Neither is a great blocker, but at least Keller isn't completely useless, and he's been more productive with worse QB play.
More Bennett greatness http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iecv7qzykUk I really wanted the Dolphins to get him. Would have been hilarious and productive. Love this deal for the Bears. :lol:
Wow, I like Cook a lot but that's a little crazy. Word I'm hearing is that the Dolphins thought they had him and Fisher came in and blew it up, Dolphins wouldn't match the Rams offer. Looks like Jake Long is headed to the Rams.
you kind of counted porcello twice in your post. it's not marmol, zych, porcello, and candelario for olt. it's marmol, zych, and candelario. or porcello and candelario. uh, read that again.
Cook wanted to be tagged as a WR and was going to go to an arbitrator to decide TE vs WR if the Titans tagged him (he played a lot of his snaps out wide). I read somewhere that he only played 21% of his snaps as an "in-line TE". It's the same situation that Aaron Hernandez was gonna go through before he got his contract. Same thing happened with Jermichael Finley a few years ago, too. In any case, Cook would look pretty good in a Dolphins uni. ;)
Ah, hadn't heard about his plans to go to arbitration. I knew they played him out wide some, but didn't figure it'd be nearly enough to consider him a WR. That makes I a tad more murky but I'd still tag him. he actually played split wide in over 50% of his snaps which is where the issue rested, as what position he was classified as made a difference in what his franchise tag number was.

Wow, that's a really bad decision. I really doubt Cook will sign long term with us so a team with lots of holes and plenty of cap space just added another hole. So glad Bud kept Munchak..... They probably don't want to go thorugh with the fight over what position he qualifies for, and that makes around a $4M difference.
yeah, that's not surprising. he's going to miss rodgers a lot. Agreed, the Packers weren't going to give him $10-12mm+ a year. He'd be an interesing option for the Patriots taking Welker's spot, imo. He'll be plan B if the Dolphins can't get Wallace, unless somebody else scoops him up first.
