Lots of Movement Going Around

I have a bazillion updates coming from the Dolphins and the NFL, so bear with me as I try to update you post by post on relevant news.

First off, the Dolphins traded for Jason Ferguson of Dallas. To acquire him, we had to swap 6th round picks this year and send them our 6th next season as well. The big DT was supposed to be sought after by many teams, so it might end up being a steal. He is 33, however.

We also have signed receiver David Kircus, who has been arrested in the past for violently attacking a man in Denver. So much for staying away from poor character individuals. Kircus is a 4th receiver in my mind, so it's not a big deal anyway.

Miami did sign Ernest Wilford, a big target in the redzone. The former Hokie and Jaguar will be our possession guy and hopefully will let Ted Ginn stretch the field a bit if the offensive actually decides to throw deep for once.

We also snatched Reggie Torbor away from the Super Bowl Champion Giants. The strongside linebacker isn't a superstar, but he is a decent player and if he came cheap, then I'm happy with the pickup. Supposedly we are also going after Calvin Pace and are potentially throwing big time money at him. The 6-4 275 pound LB is perfect for the system, but I'm not sure how wise it is to make a big splash on a one-year wonder from Arizona. We'll see.
