Dolphins owner pushing for Tannehill?

Tons of mock drafts say tons of stuff that isn’t true. And tons of pre-draft reports say even more stuff that is less truer (how is that for grammar?). But, most experts/mock drafter have Texas A&M QB Ryan Tannehill falling no farther than No. 8 to the Miami Dolphins. Do the Miami Dolphins even want [...]

Dolphins’ Misi arrested on battery charges

The Miami Dolphins aren’t in great shape these days. They still don’t have a quarterback and you have players out there like Ryan Clark claiming that “no one” wants to go there. That sucks. So, the Dolphins aren’t in position to be dealing with any extra issues. But now, they have to. LB Koa Misi [...]

Dolphins won’t trade for Tebow?

It doesn’t seem like a great time to be a part of the Miami Dolphins. Their team is fairly putrid, they just traded away their best offensive player (even though he’s a colossal headache), and there are rumors that no one wants to go there. Awesome. The Dolphins, by all accounts, wanted Peyton Manning or, [...]

Bears acquire Marshall for two third-round picks

Almost as elusive for the Chicago Bears as the franchise QB (depending on what you think of Jay Cutler), has been that elite wide receiver. They kind of thought they were getting that with Roy Williams but we know how that turned out. So, they are going to take a shot with another attitudinal guy [...]

Cards and Dolphins to pursue Manning?

We already know about the issues the New York Jets are having with Mark Sanchez and their possible desire to go after Peyton Manning. But, we couldn’t possibly think that they would be the only team interested in one of the best QB’s in NFL history should be become available. And ESPN‘s Adam Schefter and [...]

Sparano and Haley fired

Miami Dolphins coach Tony Sparano had his team playing some really good football these last five or so weeks. This was after an 0-7 start, but it did look as though things were getting better for the embattled head coach. Likewise, Kansas City Chiefs coach Todd Haley got his team’s ship turned around after a [...]

“Zero truth” to Carson Palmer Dolphins trade

Over the weekend, some random internet site (we hate those!) reported that the Miami Dolphins had offered the Cincinnati Bengals a trade for QB Carson Palmer. The offer was supposedly a third-round conditional pick that can jump up to a second rounder. The trade offer seems fair, but a high-ranking team source tells Joe Reedy [...]

Bush to make debut Friday night for Dolphins

Miami Dolphins head coach Tony Sparano confirmed on Wednesday that newly-acquired Reggie Bush will make his Dolphins debut in Friday night’s preseason game. And he’ll start the game at running back over rookie Daniel Thomas. Bush seems to be poised for a major role this season even he doesn’t end up putting up huge numbers. [...]

Fantasy: Rice screwed again, Ravens sign Ricky Williams

The Baltimore Ravens just refuse to let Ray Rice be the lone feature back and rack up fantasy points. Before it was Willis McGahee pilfering touches and goal like carries, now, it will be Ricky Williams. A league source tells PFT that the Ravens have signed Williams to a two-year deal worth up to $4 [...]

Marshall reveals he has personality disorder

It’s probably safe to say that most people have assumed that something was up with Miami Dolphins WR Brandon Marshall. Whether he was getting cut with glass and telling people he slipped on a McDonald’s bag, or dogging it in practice by punting footballs, or getting stabbed by his wife, something didn’t seem right. And, [...]

Moore signs with Dolphins, why do they think they solved the problem?

The Oregonian newspaper, located in a quaint town just north of Little Rock, AK, is reporting that former Carolina Panthers QB Matt Moore has signed with the Miami Dolphins. A source tells the paper that it’s a two-year deal worth $5 million, that can be pushed to $7.5 with incentives. So now, the pundits are [...]

Bush traded, gets two-year deal from Miami

According to Jeff Darlington, a trade has been completed between the Miami Dolphins and New Orleans Saints for Reggie Bush. And Bush has now agreed to a new contract with his new team to complete the move. “The early-morning negotiations that leaked beyond 2 a.m. have resulted in an agreement today between the Dolphins and [...]

Williams backs off of his Sparano comments

After yet another season of frustration for the Miami Dolphins, running back Ricky Williams (the guy with the dreads, but not anymore?) made a few comments about head coach Tony Sparano that probably won’t get him on the coach’s Christmas card list. He basically said that he didn’t care for his “micromanaging” style of coaching. [...]

Dolphins interested in Bulger? Why does anyone care about this guy?

There has been a lot of talk this offseason (maybe too much talk) about where Marc Bulger could end up next season. People keep talking about teams that need QB’s and how Bulger could be desirable to them. That latest is Jason La Canfora of NFL Network, who says to keep an eye on the [...]

Brandon Marshall stabbed by his wife

We can’t make this stuff up. Miami Dolphins WR Brandon Marshall sure does know how to pick them. He had huge issues with his last girlfriend Rasheedah Watlety and now it seems that he doesn’t get along so well with his current broad. According to Andrew Carter of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, Marshall’s wife, Michi [...]

JaMarcus is JaDone in JaNFL?

We have to admit that we miss former Oakland Raiders QB JaMarcus Russell. Whether he was downing sizzurp like it was his job, or never taking responsibility for his awful, awful play on the field, the former No. 1-overall pick was always entertaining…even if it wasn’t in a good way. Now, sources tell Jason Cole [...]

OTR Exclusive: Kyle Eckel

Kyle Eckel is currently a fullback for the Denver Broncos. He was an undrafted rookie free agent who signed with the New England Patriots coming out of Navy. He later played with the Eagles in 2009 and also played with the Dolphins. He was born and raised in Philly and like most Philly sports fans, [...]

Dolphins want Palmer?

Whether or not Carson Palmer ever plays a down of football again in the NFL is subject to an individual’s opinion. He says he’ll never play for the Cincinnati Bengals again and will retire if he’s forced to do so. Bengals owner Mike Brown says Palmer isn’t going anywhere. Who will blink first? Well, if [...]

Marshall says idea of playing in the NBA is dead

Last August, Miami Dolphins WR Brandon Marshall had openly talked about what he would do in the event that the NFL had a lockout. He’d need to do something to keep him busy and keep the cash flowing in, but what? You mean like, say, play in the NBA? “There’s not going to be any [...]

Soliai to hit the open market

Much of the free agent talk surrounding the Miami Dolphins this offseason has been centered on Ricky Williams and Ronnie Brown. However, there is another free agent whose departure could be far more damaging to the team. That would be mammoth nose tackle Paul Soliai. He is a 355-lb. lineman who can really clog the [...]

Ross gets involved with coaching, probably not a good idea

When will the owners of professional sports teams learn? Do not get involved with the coaching! Jesus, is it that hard to understand? Per the Palm Beach Post, that is exactly what Miami Dolphins owner Stephen Ross is doing. He said on a recent Finsiders radio show that he wants a more flashy offense that [...]

Dolphins to shut down Long for the season?

At 5-5, the Miami Dolphins are a measly three games back of the New York Jets and New England Patriots for the lead in the AFC East. We’re kidding, they are out of it. I mean, what does it take? They have a stud left tackle named Jake Long that is dealing with a torn [...]

Dolphins decimated at QB, looking at JaMarcus Russell?

Talk about Christmas in November for OTR. We have been praying as hard as we can to have JaMarcus Russell get back in the NFL. We love him. And it looks like our prayers could be answered. In a very odd game, the Miami Dolphins lost starter Chad Pennington and his replacement Chad Henne to [...]

Henne gets benched

There have been rumors for a bit that Miami Dolphins QB Chad Henne could get benched in favor of Chad Pennington. But now, it has become a reality. Pennington is the new starting QB and Henne has been sent to the pine. “This is not an indictment on Chad Henne, not an indictment on his [...]

Video evidence that McClain spit on Crowder

We mentioned before about Miami Dolphins LB Channing Crowder getting mad and saying something to the effect of Anne Frank being able to see that Baltimore Ravens FB Le’Ron McClain spit on him. Even though, you know, Frank wasn’t blind (but if she was, her penmanship was amazing). However, that doesn’t mean that Crowder doesn’t [...]
