*** DOLPHINS NEWS ***
Oct 03, 1996: -- More Trade Rumors --

DOLPHINS NEWS:

There are two rumors floating around Miami concerning possible trades for the Dolphins. The first, as reported in today's Miami Herald, is that the Dolphins may be interested in trading for defensive end Anthony Smith of the Raiders.

Smith is an effective pass rusher, as is shown by his 49 sacks in 5 years, but has a reputation as being undependable and may not be able to adapt to the Dolphins' heavy workout schedule.

Also, the Raiders will want a high draft pick for Smith and the Dolphins are unlikely to be willing to pay the price.

The other rumor I have heard is from a personal source, who says that the Dolphins are also looking at a trade for a linebacker. Who that linebacker could be and what they would trade for him is a mystery, but apparently the Dolphins are looking hard for some defensive help.

My Comments:

The Dolphins could use some help in the pass-rushing department and that is what these trades would be about, if anything were to come to pass. The NFL trading deadline is next Tuesday, so anything that happens would have to happen by next week.

What happens Sunday against the Seahawks could have a major effect on these possible trades.
