Chris Chambers was cut today. Best trade the Dolphins franchise ever made was getting a 2nd round pick for this guy.

Let's hope the front office doesn't do anything stupid and bring this guy back to Miami. He isn't an upgrade over anybody we have.

Not sure I agree with that Mike.

He may not be the big #1 we seek, but i think he might be an upgrade.

Comment based on being a free add on.

Call me crazy but I think Chambers would be a big upgrade over any WR we have. He's still a #2 at best in my mind, but he definitely beats our group.

i wouldn't mind bringing back Chambers... since leaving here he hasn't enjoyed success, however i think he could be useful. the year he spent in SD he averaged 2 catches per game, for 462 yards, ave 14 yds per catch.

id at least entertain the idea of having a Ginn/Bess/Chambers/Hartline/Camarillo rotation at wr. Figure he's not going to demand much as a f/a, what do you have to lose?

Why would he be cut?

"When you suck long enough, you get a Hickey"

Chambers went over 1100 yds and 11 TDs here one year, and just missed 1000 with another 11 a few years before that. We have no one that will even come close to that. I would have no problem with giving him a shot.

Is he that bad now that he actually gets cut?

...because the san diego chargers are a joke of a franchise.

Where did you read this?

Man i disagree with you mike.... Chambers is better than what we have....we need to seriously take a look at him.

And he isnt old and he isnt injury prone either.

Because he isn't any good. He doesn't make any plays, can't get open, drops balls. He's always been short and the past year or so he has had a weight problem. All in all he can't be successful anymore on the NFL level.

And if a team claims him on waviers....he will cost $4.55 mill

> ...because the san diego chargers are a joke of a franchise.

Who BTW beat us this year. I'm not sure I understand the logic here

a quote:

"The San Diego Chargers have released wide receiver Chris Chambers, who they acquired for a second-round pick in 2007. Chambers was demoted this week and replaced by Malcom Floyd in the starting lineup.

He’ll have to clear waivers and anyone who picks him up would owe him the remainder of his salary this year, which is $2.4 million."


If this is true maybe they don't plan to play him and would be glad to get the $2.4 M back.

Do we have room for him...if so who goes?

I liked him while he was here...had some big games for us.

WOW, I guess some of you guys don't watch many San Diego games, this aint the Chris Chambers from 2001!! I mean when a playoff team like the Chargers cuts you on Week 8 that says something. Especially when a few years ago they gave up a 2nd round pick for you!!

Chris Chambers isn't any good. He has gotten beat out by Malcom Floyd....AN UNDRAFTED ROOKIE FREE AGENT and Legedu Naanneem, a guy who played QB in college only to move to WR in the NFL. He didn't exactly lose his job to Swann and Stallworth here!!

I think we need all the help we can get in the WR position. With us giving him a chance he will have something to prove and being back in Miami will be a huge bost for him. Who knows.... sounds like a good idea to me. I would love to see Henne and Chambers connect for a TD

What incremental value would he bring and who might we cut to make room for him?

Positive value:
- maybe he can be the big target and still make the circus catches
- probably relatively inexpensive (but not as compared to other receivers on our team except Ginn)

Negatives:
- used to drop more than his fair share of passes
- never really seemed to assume much of a leadership/mentoring role
- seemed to underplay his potential

I understand that SD has younger players in the same mold, so on that hand I understand why they would consider him expendable. I worry that if he wasn't able to produce much with Rivers as his QB last and this year, then it won't be any better here.

In the end, I wouldn't be opposed to them taking a look at him, but I don't hold out much hope that he can even return to his former self at this point.

his "former self" was never that good. So I see no reason to bring him in.

Pass

It wouldn't hurt to pick him up and give him a chance.

It's not like we are trading for him, If we can get him free why not?

It would be like a wake-up call for him, maybe he would come in here and turn his game around.

sure, sign him up! is he really any worse than camirillo, bess, and ginn? no, and he's probably better. last I checked the WRs on our team were no great shakes.

I'll take chambers over bess and cammarillo anyday

We can say we could do whatever we wanted. But the Trifecta is not going to bring him in either way, so it really doest matter.

---------------------

"When you suck long enough, you get a Hickey"

I say bring him in for a look. He has a pair of hands.

I don't see our front office cutting some young player to sign the 31 year old Chambers. And we've cleaned the coaching house since Chambers left, so we have no ties to him, no champion to herald the cause of bringing him back.

My fear is that he'll wind up in New England, and come back to haunt us.

he'ld be an uprgade over the guys who everyone recently said weren't good enough.

I can see how he got squeezed out with SD's packed house...but we are far from loaded at WR.

I say bring him in and let him show what he can or can't do and sign him if he shows that he can still jump or has even average speed.

He isn't what he used to be but may be beter than what we have. Has problems getting separation

We just cut Naiborn so don't we have a spot?

If we don't New England might

I say snatch him up! He could be the piece we need this year to make it to the playoffs. Seriously.

Yeah, he is definately gonna be a Patriot.
