He has a good chance. If Sellers were to go down (God forbid) any play that calls for a lead blocker would have to be thrown out. I think they were looking for one of the youngsters to fill that role but it didn't pan out.

Also, am I taking crazy pills? PFT reports the Dolphins may cut Chris Chambers? What's up with that? Is this a different Chris Chambers or something? I don't keep up with everything but I thought he was their top guy.

Chambers?? That guy would be picked up in a heartbeat. He catches a lot of balls, but I think he dropps his fair share too. Wow, now that is a rumor.

no way to both. coach Gibbs is building good team chemistry thru guys attitudes. no need to disrupt that

Monkeydad · 08-29-2007, 01:48 PM

Michael Westbrook was tall too.

Height doesn't guarantee success.

I don't think we'll pick up another WR. Moss, ARE, Lloyd and Bradford will work. I was hoping Espy would be in the mix before we lost him to injury.

Chambers will stay with the Dolphins - 08/29/2007 - MiamiHerald.com

Adam Schefter reported that Reggie Williams, Michael Clayton, and Chris Chambers might be cut or traded in the last two's case. Miami wants to get rid of Chambers because he has a huge salary and a huge cap hit, and they are cap strapped. Tampa Bay wants to get rid of Clayton because he hasn't done shit since his rookie season.

In all fairness (Reggie Williams aside...see my last post) Chambers would be GREAT for us. I do not want to pay his salary though, and he likely would be on EVERYONE's sign list. Clayton still has good talent, but we have people in his mold.
In both cases, they are a product of horrible QB's. You CAN NOT play well when you have a poor QB. See Randy Moss! (a slew of others too) So they could resurrect their careers with a change of scenery.

No to Gabriel. But we do need a possesion receiver in the worst way. However, no possesion receiver is better than a bad one.

I was listening to ESPN radio on XM while I was on my way to lunch, and they said Chris Chambers is on the trading block. Now THAT would be interesting. They'd probably want a 3rd rounder for him at least though.

Well, we don't have the cap space to waste on him, so unless Miami was willing to cover the majority of his salary, we are out of this race.

Never said I wanted him, never said we should go get him. Just said it would be interesting.

Gabriel would be way cheaper and serve the same purpose.

Never said you did, just making an argument for the possibility of us getting him, or not.

You might be right, but Chambers has proven himself, and Gabriel hasn't.

Oddly enough, I looked up their hieght and weight, and I didn't know Chambers was only 5'11" 210lbs. If we're going after someone, we need someone with hieght!

Chambers is staying put for the year. We wouldn't want him anyways...mainly I'm talking about Gibbs...he's trying to rack up a criminal record along with football records.

It'll be hard to trade him, but they are trying nonetheless...
