I so read this as one of your "hint/clue" post.

I was thinking now is a Raven/Crow a migrant bird and which Raven is he talking about.

LOL! Thanks for messing with my mind.

Re: 2012 Free Agency Wish List

If we have a pro level WR core there is no need to keep 8 guys again this year. I could see us keeping 5 or 6 at most.

If we bring in Colston and Royal; then we go into next year with Colston, Gaffney, Hankerson, Royal, and Moss. Add another rookie and there you go. No need for 8 WR again.

Wow, just looking at the new revenue sharing for 2012. New TV contracts ($3 bil) kick in, that's $1.1 bil more than the year before.

With $19 million per year per team plus add that to the fact that teams will be able to add unspent 2011 cap dollars to their 2012 salary caps ($13.6 mil for Skins) and we will see some record deals for top players and very pricey contracts for average players.

Re: 2012 Free Agency Wish List

We need playmakers. I see no reason why we should sign run-of-the-mill WR's in FA. We already have enough of that type. For me, it's VJax, Bowe, or bust.

I would make an exception for Eddie Royal because of his versatility (KR/PR) and his record of success with MS as his HC.

Re: 2012 Free Agency Wish List

Just read a Tweet by Matt Williamson that the Dolphins are going to the 4-3 defense...

"Matt Williamson
Talked about it on today's podcast, but #Dolphins going to 4-3 makes no sense at all to me. Have to Solai will then leave in free agency"

I think Soliai (who should be a UFA) would be much better at the NT position. If Carriker leaves, then put Soliai at DT, and have a rotation of Cofield, Jenkins, and Bowen at DE. Also, those three guys could be our pass rushing DL on 3rd and long.

Jabar Gaffney
Leonard Hankerson
Eddie Royal
Chris Rainey
Niles Paul
Aldrick Robinson
Jurion Criner

Yeah it's 7 WRs and I think Robinson ends up being odd man out.

With that lineup, which is great by the way, I see no point in having Royal. Criner might be a better prospect than Hankerson. Gaffney, Hankerson, Criner, Niles Paul and Rainey. Rainey is your kick/punter returner, a slot guy and a guy getting touches out of the backfield.

I would strongly suggest drafting both Criner and Rainey. We need weapons and both those guys qualify.

Even then I would still brin in Royal. I don't see Gaffney being here two more years.

Hankerson
Criner
Royal
Rainey

could rival

Jennings
Nelson
Jones
Driver

or

Nicks
Cruz
Manningham
Barden

or

Colston
Henderson
Moore
Meachem

You can never have enough talent along the DL and Soliai would be a natural fit in our 3-4 at NT and DE.
If we sign Soliai and add him to a front 3 of Cofield and Bowen that would create a front 3 with the potential to be dominant.
Then throw in Jarvis Jenkins as part of the rotation we would go 4 deep of quality 3-4 DL.
Soliai would be my number 1 FA target.
