Dolphins likely to cut Porter before March

I don't want this guy on our team. He is old and a Tool. If we are going to target a mlb in free agentcy we should go after D'Qwell Jackson. A young player who went to Maryland and before going on IR this year lead his team in tackles every year since his rookie season.

Hell of a LB if we could get him for next to no money then give him a chance if he makes the team then oh well.

I like Porter. Yeah he's getting up there age-wise but he can still play. And better yet, he'd bring some nastiness to our defense. I kind of like the fact that he isn't afraid of putting his foot in someone's ass. (He is a linebacker for shits-sake.) Barkley was known for periodically assaulting people and look at him - he's was one of the best forwards in NBA history. So let's sign the bad-ass LB to an incentive-laden contract if he's cut.

NO way. Sign a 33 year old OLB?? Why??? Do we expect to replace the OLB position for ONE YEAR and go to the SuperBowl? No? -- well then, let's actually make FA moves that make sense long-term.

We already took Jason Taylor - look how that experiment went. Did nothing, cost a lot of money, and we gave him back to Miami.

Jason Taylor is a different scenario. JT is a tweener DE/OLB and we tried to force him into our mold of a run-stuffing DE which he isn't. Porter is an OLB and would make sense IF WE SWITCH TO A 3-4. There won't be very many quality FA in an uncapped year (as I understand it) so signing Porter (a guy who had 17.5 sacks 2 years ago) to an incentive-laden contract would make sense. Even if we gave him a big, one-year deal - who cares? It's Danny's money and you know he'll spend it. Why wouldn't you want to add a guy with that can produce big numbers?

No, we shouldn't sign Porter!

We do not need any part of Joey Porter. We need to be getting younger...not older.

I take him for a small one year deal, to teach us the 3-4 and give us a fiesty ness on defense, but I don't care if he doesn't come here.

Im with Die Nasty here. He cant hurt, and Im sure if we switch to a 34, he might be able to teach Orakpo some tips on the position. But if he starts any shit, or gets into any trouble, his ass is on the curb with no money. Gotta get that in his contract, or no dealio.

So do the people that want a whole bunch of young guys realize that the only players we're going to be able to get as UFAs are going to be in their 30s? A lot of young and good free agents are going to be RFAs.

That being said, Porter will likely get cut by Miami and it would not be a bad pick up for cheap.
