Crumpler's Release

Now that the Atlanta Falcons have released Alge Crumpler, I would suggest the Dolphins take a look at signing the Pro Bowl tight end. His production dropped off considerably last season, but that can be attributed to the chaos surrounding then head coach Bobby Petrino. If anything, he can come cheaper thanks to his low receiving numbers.

You don't find Pro Bowl TE's growing on trees, and unless the Dolphins want to spend a high pick in an unimpressive draft class or trade a high pick for Jeremy Shockey, they will be left without much of a threat at the tight end position next year. David Martin simply won't cut it. I wouldn't be surprised to see him get the ax at some point.

Also, we are out of the running for Mike Wahle, who signed a 5 year deal with Seattle recently. That's a pretty good pickup to help replace the loss of Steve Hutchinson. The 'Hawks' line suffered greatly once Steve left for Minnesota.
