'canes2004 Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 Have a feeling this will be the first of many defensive starters to be either traded or let go to seek employment elsewhere. As said before with the new contact rules, having a shut-down corner isn't as big a need anymore. As a Dolphin fan I'm sad to see him leave but we need the space and he needs the chance to play for a team that has a shot at a title.

blaw23 Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 I really don't want to see Surtain go, but I guess they don't have much of a choice. Couldn't they cut Boston and make a couple of moves elsewhere, instead of letting a Pro Bowl Corner go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolv Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 They need to keep that defense together - its the only successful thing they have going... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fantasy Jesus Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 Over the past five seasons, Surtain has 25 interceptions, seven more than any other cornerback during the same period. I hope the Dolphins can at least get a late 1st or 2nd rounder for him. Where will Sutain end up? Dallas? KC? GB? Saban is going to try to get as many draft picks as possible for Surtain. I hate to see him go too but Poole should be able to step in and get the job done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herald Link 681550[/snapback] Tell that to the Broncos. I hope Denver is paying attention. It would be worth it for Denver to give up a pick!!!

Fatman Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 Paging Mr. Thompson: A quality CB familiar with Bates' system may be a available 681655[/snapback] Do we even have the cap space for big FA like Surtain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Little Bit Special Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 (edited) Do we even have the cap space for big FA like Surtain 682515[/snapback] I got the impression he was still under contract, so I imagine acquiring him would involve a trade. Perhaps they're still interested in Davenport? Looks like he's in a similar stuation as Sharper. Will count $8 million against the cap. Miami probably needs to extend his contract to keep him, but he doesn't want to stay. Though Sharper wants to stay in GB, his cap number ($8 mil) and his age (30) make his future uncertain. Maybe they can swap cap headaches? Yeah I know...doubtful. Edited February 3, 2005 by A Little Bit Special Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dolphins got him on the cheap. I don't think cutting him would save much money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
