kukirojas Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 Dolphins | Unlikely to pursue Coles Sun, 01 Mar 2009 13:30:25 -0800 Brian Biggane, of the Palm Beach Post, reports the Miami Dolphins likely will not pursue unrestricted free-agent WR Laveranues Coles (Jets) because they do not see Coles as the No. 1 receiver they are looking for, according to a league source.

slats Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 I'd gladly take him back on a two year deal. The longer he dangles out there, the cheaper he'll be. His pride'll probably keep him from resigning here, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said, I don't think he'd do it - but I would. Bring back Coles and draft a WR at #17. We'd be back in pretty good shape on offense at that point.

Plus, he's done. His play and ability to stay healthy have been on a steady decline. It's early, and I am confident that we'll fill his spot with an upgrade. And we have the added benefit of losing key "un-named player" quotes now that both he and Baker have hit the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we have the added benefit of losing key "un-named player" quotes now that both he and Baker have hit the road. I wanted the Jets to draft a WR when I fully expected Coles to be here for the last year of his deal. Hopefully that rookie would eventually be an upgrade over Coles - but WR's usually take a year or two to develop. There's no one on the FA market who's an upgrade. What are you thinking? Boldin? And Baker's another guy whining Jet fans are gonna miss next season. Simply a solid TE. Solid blocker, good hands. There's no one on the market to replace him, either, and it's another tough transition position from college to the pros. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadwayJ667 Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 after the Jets first few moves in free agency, it appears very likely the Jets will draft either a defensive lineman or a wide receiver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no one on the market to replace him, either, and it's another tough transition position from college to the pros. The Jets are going to miss Baker and he will be a very, very good player for the Pats next year - write it down. Baker was never used right by Mangini/Schotty. Now that Gaffney is gone to the Broncos I could see him as a #3 with the Patriots. I have a feeling that one way or another he's going to stay in the AFCE. That would be a nightmare. Think about this: Moss, Welker, Coles and Baker with Taylor and Dred Zeppelin in the backfield. They might average 42 a game with that crew. Yikes!

With Brady at 100% the Patriots are one of the frontrunners for the Super Bowl. He's at the end of his career. Why not go to a team where you have a real good shot at getting that ring before hanging them up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The defense is worse than last year and there is no way Brady is as good as he was in 2007. Brady does not automatically take the Pats from non-playoff team to superbowl team... especially with the knee... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alk Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 If the Jets don't want him back then he may have no better option. To be honest I would be shocked if he even wants to go back to the Jets. He hasn't been happy there for about three seasons and now they cut him. He'll be looking to land with another team in the AFCE to get some payback.

Just a tad early to proclaim that they're worse than last season. Well maybe not for you but for most rational NFL fans. 2. Yes he does and you know it.

I'm basing this on the fact that the Patriots cut ties with Cassel. If they were willing to do that then they clearly no something that neither you or I do and I'm willing to bet that something is Brady is 100% ready to stomp a mudhole in the NFL's a$$.

If they knew they were going to need a qb they would have kept him and traded him once Brady was ready to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
