I thought so too until I heard that the Dolphins may be interested in him and have $40M in cap space. I don't know if that report (I believe it was on ESPN) was based on speculation, rumor, or inside information. But, if true, it will be hard for us to compete with the Fins. Usually, Danny gets what he or his coaches want, but other teams flush with cap space can front load contracts to take advantage of the cap space, make the contract more palatable to free agents, and to deny teams like the Redskins the ability to match such offers.

Blache was the DC in Chicago for Briggs' rookie season. Hopefully they have a good relationship and that may trump a bigger payday from Miami.

True good point. Plus the Dolphins are coming off a 1-15 season and are definitely in rebuilding mode. That takes away some of the appeal especially if the money is close.

I think the Dolphins' first priority is going to be Asante Samuel
