Sam Adams May Stay In AFC East

[Nublar7]

Free-agent defensive tackle Sam Adams is coming to Miami today for preliminary discussions about joining the Dolphins.

Adams, a 6-foot-4, 335-pound, 12-year veteran, played for the Bills the past three seasons, including the past two under coach Mike Mularkey, the Dolphins' new offensive coordinator. He played his first six seasons with the Seahawks when Dolphins General Manager Randy Mueller was New Orleans' vice president of football operations.

"He'll come in, sit down with those guys, see where they're headed and if it's a fit,'' said Angelo Wright, Adams' agent.

Adams, 32, a three-time Pro Bowl selection (2001, '02, '04), had a career-low 19 tackles with three sacks last season. He had averaged 32 tackles over his first 11 seasons.

The Bills cut Adams in a salary-cap move last week.

The Dolphins already have a host of 30-plus defensive tackles in Keith Traylor, Vonnie Holliday and Jeff Zgonina.

For a team that has "no talent" the Dolphins sure do like to sniff our trash all the time.

I just want to know where they are getting the money? I thought they were tight against the cap.

That's kind of funny because Mularkey and Adams didnt get along very well.

or maybe the problem was T. Donahoe calling all the shots like not playing Sam or sitting JP or maybe it is what I said in another thread about Moulds. These guys care more about the money than anything else! If the price is right it doesn't matter that MM is there. Besides MM is just the OC and they won't have alot of interaction with each other.

Sam won't be under Moolarkey. He'll answer to Capers.

Sam Adams is trash?

Re: Sam Adams May Stay In AFC East

So will this be another example of someone being the absolute worst when they sign with another team? It seems to happen all of the time and all fans are guilty of this--they're the greatest when on said team, then the worst when they sign elsewhere, especially on a rival team. I've read that his work ethic may be under fire, but it never hurts to have as many run stoppers as possible.

Re: Sam Adams May Stay In AFC East

MIami has so many needs on defense now after releasing four starters, I find it hard to believe they'd sign a DT on the downside of the year when he won't come cheap.. I suppose you never know though.

I stick by earlier statement that Adams is going to Cincinnati, which pretty much means by the time everyone reads this he'll be a Dolphin.

not everyone here thinks that way crunk. I still think that Sam Adams has a lot left in him and could still make a probowl or two under the right DC.

Now moolarkey on the other hand.....

Re: Sam Adams May Stay In AFC East

There are two issues here. First is where does Miami find the room to sign him. They're are on the list of teams with the worst cap situation. They might get a deal done if both siides see eye to eye, that Adams is an aging veteran with chronically bad knees who's worth might be a small premium above vet minimum.

Second, how much does Adams have left in the tank? My guess is he has some. It may be hard for him to go a full game, but if Miami platoons him with the rest of their thirty somethings, they will get an occasional sack out of him along with 20 some tackles per year, plus his ability to occupy blockers will be valuable.

Is it worth it to Miami? Probably. Will he come back to haunt Buffalo? That depends on whether or not Buffalo can upgrade their offensive line. The bottom line is if Buffalo doesn't get a lot better on their offensive line, there are a lot of DTs who should scare them. Rather than worry about Sam Adams, or trying to brush him off, that's probably where we should be focussing our efforts.

The problem wasn't Mularkey. It was Jerry Gray.

Re: Sam Adams May Stay In AFC East

Hate to say it but I think Adams still can do a good job and if Miami gets him he'll be a good pick up for them. The only concern I have about Adams in Miami would be the heat its not cold like Buffalo will he be able to adapt well.

Traylor played in New England then made the transition to Miami pretty well....
