So what're the rules here? What if he doesn't sign? Does that mean he remains on the team, just not eligible to play? Or is there a point where he becomes unrestricted?

I just hope what ever they do don't mess it up with him ,like they did JT......ether keep him or see what we can get for him. Lets not drag this thing out and make him feel unwanted,then were're stuck with a unhappy player.

NTSA!

What does (NTSA) stand for?

I agree. I would hate to see Ronnie Brown in another uniform other than the Dolphins.

Ronnie knows this is the biggest season of his career. If he is going to sign a big contract he is going to have to stay healthy and he is going to have to play big. The only way I don't see him on the team this year is if some other team makes a good offer for him. Otherwise, I think we sign him on the 1st and deal with his contract next offseason.

RB might be the biggest concern on this roster right now. With or without Ronnie Brown we have a group of dinged up aging RBs. This is the position that has the shortest shelf life of any in the NFL. The contact ages players fast. They need to get a deal done for Ronnie pronto!

You got that right ....

Not That S--t Again.

That sucks. Cobbs is a real x-factor for us in Wildcat formations. He can come out of the backfield and make some big catches downfield. The guy always seems to be wide open. I hope he recovers, we could really use him this season. The same goes for Ronnie, we'll be needing him to recover asap!

Not signing it means nothnig. It just means as of June 1st he plays for that tender. By not signing it all it meant was he couldn't be traded at anypoint this offseason up until June 1st. Cause you can't trade a player with an unsigned tender.

So, he won't sign it June 1st. But as of June 1st he plays for what the tender states and is on the team as an active member. He won't be happy. He will want a long-term deal. He won't get one. So he plays unhappy or holds out.

Well not sure where any of these reporters pull the info from, figure this regime is pretty tight lipped and the only I know about is an interview that Cobbs did on a local radio show. He said he expects to be ready by the start of the season.

So I guess the only uncertainty would be contract, which as far as I know isnt even up yet... He was never listed on any RFA or UFA sheets I saw.... And I am pretty sure he is signed through the 2010 season...

So expect to see Cobbs this year

Just thought I would toss this out there,but what if after he signs we trade him for our 2nd next year? After all that's how we got Marshall, right after he signed we scooped him up.....but not his hole family just him this time.

Wouldn't a contract based on performance and number of games played be ideal?

Ronnie will never sign that. And he shouldn't. No other player has such a deal.

He wants a long term deal. He is entitled to that. If Miami doesn't want to give it to him so be it. He plays the year, becomes a free agent at seasons end and is on the open market and he will get the pay day he wants.

1) No team will give a 2nd rounder for an injury prone RB

2) Who is gonna play RB for this year in Miami? You want to start a 32 year old RB and back him up with Lex Hilliard and expect to make the playoffs?

I like the notion of trading Ronnie. And if godforbid we start the year like 1-4 or something and a team at the October trading deadline offers us a 3rd rounder or a 4th rounder for him, pull the triger and send him on his way. But other than that trading him makes little sense now

Ok was just a thought I had thats all.....hey any1 know were I can get a Marshall jersey?
