Sean Smith

I would still like to re-sign Goldson and to a lesser extent Walker. But I'm not going to break the bank on their player, they need to take modest salaries. I believe Goldson will test the FA market again and find that there isn't much out there for him.

he would get Weddle money as a FA no doubt in my mind. Jax, Bal, Was, Dal, GB, Cinci, would easily upgrade with Goldson and give him Weddle's contract. Well, maybe not Baltimore, that'd be a stretch

I seen my dude Sean Smith last night he said he talking to KC him & B Flowers will makes a good Duo

Ha.

It is getting to the point where teams should consider teaching their guys the dos and donts of Twitter and social media. It should be pretty obvious what not to say or do on there... but apparently it isn't..

He tested the market last time, looking for a big contract and it didn't come. Honestly he hasn't really gotten a whole lot better, just older.

Don't get me wrong, Goldson is a very good FS. The guy is a huge hitter and great in run support. But he gets lost in coverage and doesn't use his head leading to penalties. I don't want to break the bank for the guy and I don't think anyone else will either.

I think half of these idiots should have their cell phones and laptops taken away, twitter blocked and then returned. These guys just don't know how to control themselves.

I had a general idea but didn't know exact (or close to) numbers that I could have spit out on my own without some digging. Thanks.

I really don't have much of a rooting interesting in seeing Manningham back. Wouldn't have been a supporter of seeing him back without the injury either.Didn't like that signing. Although, I did think he'd sign for longer than he did.

Torn on whether Goodwin needs to or should go now or not. May lean towards saying I'd like to see them keep him for 1 more year.

Some other names I'd keep in mind:

Chris Ivory - RFA but may not get tendered

Brandon Gibson

G/T Geoff Schwartz - Likely to get starter money, though. 49ers had interest in him last year right before he signed in Minnesota.

LB Antwan Barnes - Should've been a Niner from the get go. One of my favorite players in the NFL and one of the most underrated pass rushers that I've seen.

LB Philip Wheeler

DT Sammie Lee Hill (If Sopoaga were to leave)

K Phil Dawson

K Rob Bironas

K Lawrence Tynes

Said everything I was not articulate enough to say.

OH I completely agree with you on all points. Only thing is that we know he is basically the same player, but for the public, they see the starting safety from the #1 def a couple years ago, and a violent hitter from the Super Bowl this past season. And SD screwed this up in the first place because Weddle isn't worth Weddle money.

 

[dreday]

U can best believe that a team is gonna value him more then we do. & I think he's gonna get a pretty decent contract. But his coverage skills just ain't good enough 4 me. For the contract he's gonna get.

I love the twitter hack excuse! Such bs!!

Miami's tag decision
March, 4, 2013 11:30AM ET
By Tim Kavanagh | ESPN.com

UPDATE: Well, we've got our answer: the Dolphins are placing the franchise tag on Randy Starks, according to ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter. We'll be back in a bit with how this impacts the rest of Miami's offseason.

---

One of the teams that has multiple players considered candidates for the franchise tag is the Miami Dolphins, though they have yet to declare anyone as the recipient of the designation as of Monday morning. The two players generally thought to be the most likely to receive the tag are CB Sean Smith and DT Randy Starks.

Negotiations on a long-term deal for either player have obviously yet to result in a signed pact, so there is some tension as the clock ticks down to the deadline at 4 p.m. EST. However, one of the two has apparently gotten wind that he's potentially getting the designation, and isn't 100 percent pleased with that possibility.

"I want to be a Dolphin!!!" Starks tweeted Sunday, per the Miami Herald. "Not just for one more year ..."

In addition, Starks confirms that he's willing to knock some compensation off his pricetag, but only to a certain extent: "Discount yeah clearence rack heck no. I want to be here and finish here!"

Starks has been listed as a dream free agent acquisition by clubs in need of a dominant interior D-lineman (such as the Cowboys, Broncos and Seahawks), but as of now, there's serious doubt that he'll reach the open market.

 

[DoobieKeebler]

Always liked Starks. Not sure why'd he want to be a Dolphin, let alone for the long term, as that franchise couldn't find it's way out of a paper bag. Even having Dan Marino only took them so far.

Back to topic, I'd like Smith because of his size, but I don't know him real well..... could he potentially play FS? Is he fast enough to still be a corner at 30?

 

[NinerSickness]

I was calling for the Niners to sign Max Starks back when he was just done with the Titans. Always liked that guy. Even in college.

Sean Smith is in the same boat as Nnamdi & a afew others who are around 30 IMO. He's still good enough to get a long-term deal, but he's already peaked. This is why I'd rather the Niners get DRC (and Leodis McKelvin if I had my way).

 

[dredinis21]

How can Sean Smith at 25 yrs old already have peaked?

Who is that guy who says he can shutdown Megatron?! We should trade for or draft this guy!! ???

I believe it was Sherman form the Seahawks who said that and that guy is a douche nozzle

 

[Ray_Dogg]

I thought there was a kid going in the draft who said that as well. I can't remember his name though.

Hmmm does Titus Young have a brother?

It was the honey badger:

Tyrann ?Honey Badger? Mathieu claims he can cover Calvin ?Megatron? Johnson - Gamedayr : Gamedayr

 

[Smalls]

I thought there was a kid going in the draft who said that as well. I can't remember his name though.

As someone mentioned, it was Mathieu. He didn't just come out and say "I can shut down Calvin Johnson" unprovoked, though. They asked him if he could and he basically said he'd make his share of plays.

He's only giving up a little over eight inches. It's not like Stafford could just throw the ball up and completely defeat his coverage....

What's a kid going to say in that situation, though? "No, he'd tear me up out there."

 

[NinerSickness]

Wow. Chalk that up to a brain malfunction. I must've seen Sean Smith and thought another player. I forget whom I was trying to reference (along with Nnamdi) with that post.

Sean Smith would be a great pickup, but I prefer DRC.
