All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
There is work to be done and things to be learned. We are going to try to get the old look back - or something close to it. We also know there are bugs. A thread will be started to report bugs and then we can pass those onto the host.
Thank you for all the patience and support with this - hopefully this will greatly reduce the crashes and other site issues we have had lately.
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across

In what might be the precursor to the long-discussed trade of Patrick Surtain, the Miami Dolphins have signed unrestricted free agent cornerback Mario Edwards.
A five-year veteran, who played for Tampa Bay in 2004 after spending the first four seasons of his career with the Dallas Cowboys, Edwards signed a one-year contract. The financial details of the deal were not available.

Well, I could have told you he was a goner before this signing. :P With Poole, Edwards and others on the depth chart, we wll hopefully have an in house replacement for Surtain. None of those guys will be as elite as Surtain to start, but hopefully they can hold their own. I really like Will Poole's talent and think he can be a fantastic CB in this league.
Is the deal with the Chiefs finalized? Seems like now the Dolphins have less leverage to demand a 2nd rd pick for Surtain considering the new signing. Now a team can say we'll give you a 3rd for him, and if you don't like it, you can stay stuck with him...

I dont think "staying stuck with Surtain" is all that bad.. Face it, we will get a 2nd round pick or we will keep Surtain for another year and possibly franchise him next year.. Its a WIN/WIN in my opinion.
Saban is counting on the trade with KC that would send us a 2nd rounder. However, if KC can't meet the demands, we will probably just release Mario. Dolphins still have the leverage, not KC.
Leverage is nothing basically if the Dolphins dont do the deal with KC they are gonna have one unhappy CB on their roster and may be looking at a hold out, allowing for the contract to be done before the trade could hurt the Phins in the end but we will see. They back out now they cost Surtain certain money he knows he woulda earned prolly not something that he'll take too well.
COMING SOON...

That won't happen, Surtain is a class act and has been a fin his whole career he has a lot of friends on the team and won't leave them hanging, besides his value would fall throught the floor if he sat out a year it would be counter productive. We are in the driver seat and will stay there. If Surtain signs with KC we will get fair value either this year or next. Saban is no fool and will not be had. M.Edwards is nothing more then depth, and has nothing to do with starting.
This potential deal reminds me of our situation with Henry. Either the Dolphins get a 2nd rounder for him, or they keep him. Keeping him is not a bad idea, since he's highly regarded. He may be upset, but I seriously doubt he'd let it affect the team.
And if I'm the Chiefs, I'd do this deal in a heartbeat.

If the Dolphins do end up getting a 2nd or 3rd rounder for Surtain, does that open the door for a possible Travis Henry trade?
I know Saban had mentioned being interested in Henry a couple months ago and Donahoe said he wouldn't be opposed to trading him within the division. I guess it depends what they want to do with their first pick and how much they like the RB's coming out, but if they did want to go in a different direction, I think a trade for Travis could look pretty appealing.
Would the Dolphins be willing to part with a 2nd? Would we be willing to accept a 3rd for him?
Maybe the Surtain trade could at least give us some leverage with the Cardinals if we could generate some interest from the fins.
