Dion Jordan, hypothetical

[ZACKB]

The Miami Herald's Armando Salguero believes it's "time to bring the curtain down on the idea" that Dion Jordan is a 4-3 end only.
Jordan can rush the passer, sure, but he brings so much more to the table. At 6'6/275, he runs a 4.6-flat forty and can cover tight ends and even covered the slot at times at Oregon. The Dolphins seem to be the only ones who don't realize this. Salguero thinks Jordan should be plugged in at strong-side linebacker next to MLB Koa Misi and opposite WLB Philip Wheeler when he's eligible to return from his second suspension of the season next week. The Dolphins have previously said they view Jordan strictly as a 4-3 end. Sadly.

-There were rumors that the Phins were trying to trade him this offseason. Considering we won't resign Worlids, would you try and make a play for him before the trade deadline tbis year? That way he can be up to speed for next year aftlearning the syetem and Worlids leaving.

i'd send them worilds straight up.

My guess is they wouldn't take Worlids, plus, if Jordan doesn't know the playbook we would have to start Moats and Harrison, plus call up Howard from the ps. I doubt the FO would be comfortable with that.

7/20/2013: Signed a four-year, $20.572 million contract. The deal is fully guaranteed, including a $13.341 million signing bonus. 2014: $495,000 (+ $845,104 roster bonus), 2015: $585,000 (+ $1.69 million roster bonus), 2016: $675,000 (+ $2.535 million roster bonus), 2017: Club Option, 2018: Free Agent

Fully guaranteed kinda worries me. This isn't like baseball where the Phins can kick in some cash to pay the contract so considering he is going to make 2.275 million next year, and 3.21 million the year after. Not saying we didn't just piss away 9 million on Worilds, and how many ever million on Gilbert and Allen but we can at least cut them. At this point I would think if we are going to take a risk on that contract I won't offer more than a 5th round pick for him.

Also, if it takes him a year or two to get used to the 34 we might not see a return from our trade until his contract is up.

I think they ran a 3-4 his first year. He is also coming off a PED suspension. Ideally I would send a crapload of cash after cuttin Troy, to sign Houston from KC. If not that, getting Jordan would be nice and we can pair him with Jarvis. That way we can go cb, TE with our draft.

The thing I would like to pair with Jarvis is a rental car going one way out of town!
