FINS LOOKING TO STOCKPILE PICKS
Although there have been rumblings that the Dolphins might try to swing a trade with the Chiefs for late-blooming running back Larry Johnson, we're hearing that the Fins aren't looking to acquire veteran players via trade.
Instead, word is that the Dolphins are hoping to use some of their own veterans as bait for more draft picks, which then would be used to help coach Nick Saban rebuild the roster.
Another motivation for shopping some of their veterans is a projected eight-figure salary cap bulge, which could require the team to dump some players, getting nothing in return.

----anyone for a mckenzie/sam madison duo? that would actually be quite impressive. boards even have them shopping zach thomas. though getting long in tooth i think the veteran leadership and experience would be a good fit with our toddler LBs. courtney could adapt well to outside and learn from thomas while he bulks up for the middle in another yr or two. a 2nd for madison? 3rd or 4th for thomas?

to fantasize, bring them both in with bates dc-ing. they could be psuedo teachers of the new system with him. as poor as the fins were last year the defense was still 8th in the league and always had that sharp aggressive look. they lost 5 games in which they gave up 20pts or less.
