Players That Got Away

I discussed players that might be decent pickups if we could trade for them, but in the case of Shaun Rogers, the other team was asking for too much. Well Rogers is gone, having been traded to Cincinnati for a 3rd and 5th round pick. It's about time they worked on their front 7 anyway.

Another option I suggested was going after Kris Jenkins. He too, is gone, having been traded to the Jets for the same 3rd and 5th round picks that Rogers was worth. He also signed a 5 year, 35 millions dollar deal with New York. That's doubly bad luck for Miami, cause Jenkins can be a force in the middle and now we have to face him twice a year.

Additionally, we might be losing a chance to trade our draft pick to the Cowboys if they do go after Tatum Bell, as this report suggests. If they get Bell, then they have no need for McFadden.
