And the axe falls on:
Trent Green
Marty Booker
LJ Shelton
and some others in MIA

Dan Morgan
Mike Wahle
in CAR

many more coming soon!

Miami cut, what, five starters from their team? This ought to be an interesting offseason.

Sucks for Dan Morgan, but I understand the rationale.

Dayum! This is gonna be a fun couple of months.

Mike Wahle? Dayum. That 3/5 out of their line gone already.

Oh and didn't see the Morgan cut until now. Boy that guy is talented but can stay on the field, because of those costly concussions.

I remember when Wahle was a beast on Packers O-Line. Sigh, age is a dirty player.

I don't even know what to say about Trent Green anymore. The guy just keeps running into bad luck. He'll probably wind up as a backup somewhere.

No surprises here.

I really would love the Giants to take a shot at Dan Morgan. I believe he would really flourish in Spagnoulo's system, but he has to stay healthy for a full season.

Wasn't there a report that the Phins wanted to keep Trent Green around for next season? I'm not complaining, I thought the trade was a huge mistake in the first place.

What I heard was that the Phins would be open to bringing him back at a much cheaper cost.

Man, when did Dan Morgan get cut?

VinnyTheMick · Post #13 » by **VinnyTheMick** » Thu Feb 14, 2008 7:02 pm

The Dolphins just cut Zach Thomas.

Deshaun Foster will be cut any hour now.

Ty Law will be an ex-Chief any day now too

Deshaun Fosteer? The Carolina RB?
Wasn't he really good like 2 years ago

This move actually shocked me. There had been rumors flying around all season that this would be Thomas' last season, due to his possible retirement, but being cut by the Dolphins was really a stunner.

I know the new front office is trying to move this franchise in a new direction quickly, but cutting one of the cities most beloved players of the last decade is simply idiotic, IMHO. I don't necessarily want to say that this new FO is trying to abandon their fanbase, but they're coming pretty damn close.

I wouldn't be surprised if they move Jason Taylor this offseason as well.

I'm not a Dolphins fan in the least, but I'm even angered by what is happening to this team.

I'm f**king pissed off about the Dolphins, and I don't care if you think it's irrational. What a f**king cheap shot to hand Zach Thomas (who's still a productive linebacker even though he's nowhere close to his prime). He is, to me, the face of the Miami Dolphins, even moreso than Jason Taylor. He's a throwback from the Dan Marino days who personified the requisite toughness and instinct for being a linebacker in the NFL.

Thomas should now be headed straight to the Hall of Fame, where he has every right to spit on Parcells and still be cheered on by the city of Miami.

I'm right there with you, PNF.
