<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>The Dolphins didn't want to wait for Joey Porter to make a five- to six-team tour of prospective new teams.While Porter, the former Steelers outside linebacker, was spending Monday trying to map out his trips to selected NFL cities, the Dolphins came in with an offer he couldn't refuse. Porter agreed to a five-year, $32 million contract that includes $20 million in guarantees.The Steelers released him a week ago because they didn't have plans to sign him after his contract ran out in 2007. With several key starters entering the final year of their contract, the Steelers had to be selective and Porter became a salary cap casualty.The minute he became a free agent, his phone was ringing. Porter had enough offers to visit most of the teams that run a 3-4 defense and few, including Cincinnati, that run a 4-3. He chose to play for Dom Capers' 3-4 unit in Miami.Porter wanted to take the weekend to settle himself and find a new spot. On Monday, he started to put together a plan of trips. Then the Dolphins entered the picture and worked out a contract. Knowing he was one of the top defensive players available, Porter accepted a deal from the Dolphins before making other visits.</div><div align="center">Source</div>Woohoo, my avatar worked. :yahoo: Jason Taylor-Channing Crowder-Zach Thomas-Joey Porter :nasty: What a linebacking crew..wow I'm excited.
Holy sh*t. Nice, Joey Porter. I'd be really excited. <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Jason Taylor-Channing Crowder-Zach Thomas-Joey Poerter</div>This is impressive. What a defense. Crowder really impressed me, I didnt expect him to break 100 tackles this year. Plus hes young. Porter with Thomas will be pretty cool. Very elite defense next season
Coming from a steeler fan, besides the nagging injuries, Porter is a stud. Although he does take him self out of a lot of plays by trying to run all the around the OT. This guy will bring spark and edge to that Defense! Im really sad to see Porter leave the steelers. Anyone want to make a bet that James Harrison more than likely Porter's replacement will have a better year than Porter?
Wow..Thomas and Porter....two of the game's best LBs....Good pickup by the Dolphins. He is good at pass rushing, and he is great at run defense also...amazing LB...
This is huge for our D...we still need to improve our secondary which isnt any good. If we can improve that and get some peices on offense we'll be great next year...Only bad thing is we gotta get a TE since they released McMichael(or they were talkign about it, not sure if it already happened)
^Yes, McMike did get cut unfortunately, but I don't see us signing another TE...we signed David Martin a few days ago and Cameron is supposeldy very high on him, plus Justin Peele is pretty solid as well. We still have a lot of spots to fill up on this roster though, we've lost a ton of free agents, but on the bright side we're stacked with draft picks this year. I'm loving it, we're finally cleaning house and doing what should have been done two or three years ago. Olindo Mare is supposedly next on his way out.BCB- What's the story with Martin? He any good?
Sorry but as a Bills fan, I hate this move. though Miamis offense still doesn't impress me very much.
I'm gonna miss our mouth, he'll do good in miami but he's not gonna look as intimidating in those sissy ass colors the dolphins wear........black and gold is the only colors he'll ever look good in............
