Plaxico got out today, you would have to not have a television, CPU, or ESPN, to not know about it...lol.. How do you guys feel about it, if Ireland goes after him this offseason?

I am cool with us taking a shot at him. I think he was made an example of, and overpaid for his crime.. He never hurt anyone but himself, so I think his penalty was to harsh.. I think he will be had for relatively cheap compared to his value, and I think teams that passed on Vick, and saw the homerun and value the Eagles created with signing him after prison, will be salivating over plaxico, and i bet Miami, might be one of them... THink about the mistake Ireland feels right now passing on Vick? Phill took little risk, and they could trade Vick for a couple 1st rd picks right now, and they gave up nothing but a few million bucks at risk..

we don't need him for reasons having nothing to do with his "character"
(1) he's the same type of possession receiver as Marshall
(2) he's OLD
(3) he's rusty, having been in jail for 2 years
(4) who would we cut to make room? Personally I'd rather have a younger, cheaper, more-upside Moore or Wallace who also play STs. We are stocked at WR---Marshall, Bess, Gates, Hartline, Wallace/Moore

But if you want to consider his character too, we don't need another diva receiver/side show

no thanks

Yeah Phinfans, I hear where you are coming from, but let I remind you that the exact same things were said about Vick, and you could have had the same mentality and attitufe towards him that you have towards Plaxico, and that would have made you wrong, or shortsighted in the Vick case or judgement... Spending just about 2 years in prison is real, that is no joke, and I believe it obviously changes a person. Especially if they still have an oppurtunity to redeem their character and financial situation... People kill people and serve less time then Plaxico...
Plaxico paid the price for many others, not just himself... To bad... I wish him well!

Berk- Obviosuly if Plaxico, can't beat out our 4th or 5th reciever, he will be cut, that is a given in my accounting... I understand the Rusty argument but again if he cant play you cut him, but that should be determined after a workout not before...
He is turning 34, but he has also had zero beating on his body for 2 plus years...

It is hard to double team 2 guys, with the size of Marshall and Plaxico. Marshall has normally, a CB, a LB, and a safety on him to deal with his size and tackling breaking ability... The speed guy will help take the safety away on certain plays and a second big possesion reciever, would force the LB to bump one or the other..

Him and Brandon can sit on the bench and compare scars...........

No thank you. We have a young team...we dont have room for a 34 year old diva WR.

No football for 2 years and a bad attitude? No thank you!

If we were a WR away from making a serious run at the Super Bowl, maybe...................but we're not, i'd rather develop a young guy.

I think we are set at WR and have other areas that will need free agent additions. OG, RB, OLB, and QB.

How many WR's play at a high level at 34 years old? Not many.

Hartline has more upside at this point and PB would just take snaps away from him as well as others. This is the key 3rd year for BH.

The point with his arrest is not that he only hurt himself but that he was willing to commit a felony and carry an illegal handgun to begin with....

The guards at the prison said he was known as a troublemaker and a slob during his time in jail.

If we are going to make a splash in FA we need to do it at positions of greater need.

The Dolphins have had success with recievers at the end of their career helping the team. Including names like Irving Fryar and Chris Carter. Just becasue a reciever is 34 doesnt make him, not any good neccasarily. To add a competitive veteran to the WR group could help.

Irving Fryar yes. Not only was he already in the league what, almost 10 years when he joined the Phins, he went on to play five more years after he left the Phins.

Cris Carter, not so much. Five games, eight receptions, one touchdown. Not horrible considering he has some serious health problems earlier in the beginning of the season, but not an exemplary success.

naaah just don't need him. I hope makes it that was BS for him to have had to serve time.

The bs part was other players getting away with serious crimes bc they had the money to work the sytem or whatever.

It is no different than someone getting put in jail for a dui. Maybe they didn't hurt anyone but they could have.

Burress could have very easily killed someone had the gun been pointed a few degrees different.

Handgun laws are no joke. Abuse them and go to jail. The fact is that it was illegal to carry a gun in NY. He thought he was above the law.

He is an idiot. He misses meetings and causes problems...again thinking rules don't apply to him.

See the Shaun Rogers thread.

Plaxico burress?

You gotta be kidding man. We already have marshall and his attitude and whatever else negatives he brings to this team.

Why do you want another headache?

Would rather have a big-mouthed, strip-club-dwelling, hoodlum that can make a play (Burress) then a big mouthed, strip-club-dwelling, hoodlum who can't (Marshall). Lest we forget his slant and go in the SB that helped save our perfect season? 10-1 Marshall would have screwed up the route, dropped the ball, then yelled at the QB.

2 years out of football...who says he can still make that play? The question was about Burress, not Marshall. If you're suggesting picking up Burress and dumping Marshall, you're smoking something.
