He did chase the money, but so are every other NFL player. Its the business and in today NFL to say a team will not win is asinine, considering the way teams turn things around
& frankly I'm not sure the Steelers will be a playoff team either.
Based on the perceived perception of the Dolphins over the past few years, I'm not surprised. The Bills and Bucs were praised last year for their free agent expensive additions and were praised for it. Of course, hind sight says the Bills ended up being worst. I think the Bucs are on the way up.
So, Miami gets the shaft again from some of the media. Not a big deal. I hate that Wallace cost so much, but he gambled on a larger pay day than take the Steelers offer and it paid off for him. Now the pressure is on him (and Ireland) to earn the big contract.

I got news for you Jaime, this team is now better than the Super Bowl champion Ravens.
Miami is better at WR, but that is the only position I can say that about. Not sure about LB. This is not a knock on the new guys either. Just will have to see how they fit.
I agree, Scot. I think the Dolphins are a better team than 2012, but as you said, our new linebackers are replacing a couple that really played ball. I don't see how our linebackers are better at the moment. I am excited about the possibilities of putting the quarterback on his rear end. We have some serious holes at LT and CB right now. And where is that pass rusher we've been hearing that we want to compliment Wake for the past couple of years? Maybe they are counting on Olivier Vernon to take the next step forward. Many were saying that he'd have been a first round pick if he'd waited another year to go into the draft.
