Is there has more to the story. Why would a power running team not want to keep him around for depth, in case of injury?

Dolphins waive Shawn Murphy; sign Murtha
The Dolphins have announced today they waived guard Shawn Murphy, a 2008 fourth-round pick. The team is not giving a reason for making the move and that's understandable because it didn't really give Murphy a reason either, according to sources. Last week, at least one assistant told Murphy he w...
thanks shaggy. my bad.

Is Ted Ginn Jr. on the trade block?
Despite the overwhelming opinion that the Dolphins need to upgrade their receivers, there are swirling rumors this evening that Ted Ginn Jr. is a player the Dolphins are taking calls about as the trade deadline looms at 4 p.m. Tuesday. Understand that midseason trades are rare. Understand that c...
With Ginn's $14 million guaranteed contract, wouldn't the cap hit to trade him be over $6 million?
For a good laugh, read ESPN's assessment of him coming out of college: "While he's swift, Ginn has been criticized for running poor routes, dropping too many passes and struggling to get off the line." Sound familiar to the Ted Ginn we know and love?

Calvin Pace: Chad Henne a 'clown quarterback'
Some guys should think before they open their mouths. And if Calvin Pace actually said the words he is quoted as saying in the New York Times Fifth Down blog, he obviously needs to take that advice. After the Dolphins beat the Jets, 31-27, Monday night, a game in which Chad Henne completed 20 of...
@Phins87: Ricky came back in the game a few plays later, and was on the field for the game winning TD, so I assume he's ok.

Dolphins down 13-10 to start the fourth quarter
The Dolphins are down, but they have pieced together a loooooong drive that has given them a first-and-goal situation at the 4 yard line. Join me in the comments section and we can discuss what happens now ... and whether the Dolphins can pull this one out against the Jets.
I wish they would cut out all the crap filler and just kick off at 7:30pm.

Another reason to dislike the Jets: I'm driving south on I-95 at 5:30 and suddenly the traffic just stopped cold, parking-lot style. A Broward Sherrif's Office SUV had come up the ramps and parked in the middle of the expressway and stopped traffic so that the Jets -- in three chartered buses --...
@NJ PHIN FAN: I'm a Dallas fan also, so I can't resist taking a shot at T.O. when given a chance.

Why would anyone trade for T.O. when nobody but Buffalo wanted him when he was an unrestricted free agent a few months ago?

Chris Mortensen (ESPN) confirms that Tyler Thigpen is the emergency 3rd QB this week.

@Sharapaho: Last year, Lee Evans signed a $37.25 million contract extension through 2012. The salary cap hit to trade him would be too high ($10 million+ or so?), especially to a division rival they would face twice yearly.

I agree, cuban, it wouldn't hurt to bring Marvin Harrison in for a workout. It would be nice to bring in a #1, especially since it won't cost any draft picks or players.

@cuban menace: Marvin Harrison is an unrestricted free agent. Tony Dungy was asked in week 2 or so on NBC Sunday Night Football on why Marvin was still unsigned, and he hinted that it was due to money - Marvin still wants to get paid.

@PCola Cane: Dez Bryant is good, but he has Deion Sanders advising him, and will probably sign with Deion crony Eugene Parker. Both these jokers were involved with the Michael Crabtree holdout. I'm not sure the trifecta will want to get involved with these people.

If Channing Crowder showed the fire on the field that he has towards Rex Ryan and Mike Florio, we'd actually have a decent defense.

The Dolphins are going to do everything they can to keep the offseason jabbing between Channing Crowder and Rex Ryan from turning into a game week distraction as the Jets and Dolphins prepare to play for the first time this season. You might remember that Crowder and Ryan went back and forth for...
If Chad Pennington is out for an extended period of time, Jeff Garcia will probably be available in a week or two when Donovan McNabb returns. However, the trifecta will probably use the time to develop Henne.

Our safeties continue to be exploited. This time it's Yeremiah Bell. Why do they continue to cheat upwards and get caught flat-footed?

Dread. Henne didn't show much in preseason, so we'll have to depend on the Wildcat and power running more than ever if Pennington is out for a significant time.

Need more play action in the red zone. This is where Fasano needs to return to form, and we should have Camarillo, Hartline, and/or Bess in the game.
