His timing for a South Florida vacation is impeccable Brad Biggs
Maybe Karlos Dansby has a hot spot in South Florida that he likes.
Maybe it’s a vacation to the Miami area that has been planned for some time.
Maybe it’s both.
The word the National Football Post picked up this afternoon is that the linebacker, who will become a free agent in a little less than eight hours, is boarding a plane for the Miami area in, well, a little less than eight hours.
That would be a convenient trip with the Miami Dolphins long rumored to be one of the leading candidates for Dansby’s services. He’s been angling for a way to reach the open market for some time and will finally make it this year as the Cardinals elected not to place the franchise tag on him.
Dansby fits what the Dolphins need and Miami general manager Jeff Ireland pretty much summed that up last week at the scouting combine in Indianapolis without using Dansby’s name.
“We have to get more production from the inside linebacker position,” Ireland said. “They knew that, we know that, you guys know that.”
We’re guessing Dansby and quite possibly the pilot know that too. Dansby is angling for a deal that will provide him with $30 million guaranteed. It will be interesting to see if he can hit that number. It’s a very watered down market this year and the premium players should get premium bucks.
Washington has also been mentioned as a possible destination for Dansby. So have the New York Giants and Philadelphia.

$30 mill guaranteed for an inside backer who rarely makes plays? Sheesh...Peyton must be worth about 500 mill guarnateed.
Meateater, Free Agency is never about paying guys what they're worth. It's about outbidding other teams. Also, 30 Million isn't bad considering that A) This is an uncapped year and B) Dansby is by far the best UFA available this offseason.
The Dolphins could really use him. Crowder and Ayodele were the worst ILB tandem in the NFL last year.
and Miami has all that Joey Porter money to spend.
Welcome to Miami.
The Dolphins are going no where with Ayodele in the middle.
Dansby will do nothing with Solia at NT, so...
To get the best production out of Dansby, they'll need to have him learn both OLB & ILB.
They'll also need to draft NT D. Williams with their 12th pick and resign Big Ferg.
There will be some top options available at OLB in the second round, and perhaps a shot at D.Thomas GATech in the 3rd (not likely but possible). From that point forward they'll likely address the issues at TE (Jimmy Graham), and pick up a Safety. They'll finish off their draft with 3 - 6th rounders and I believe another 7th. Look for them to bring in - (OT, OG, RB, LB)
The Dolphins are expected to shift Dansby to SOLB on downs 1 and 2 and kick him inside on 3rd downs.
It is right,thank you for sharing.
Miami... not a bad place to go ;p
It is interesting to see where all of these guys end up. I think that a lot of them do not end up where they originally wanted to. I don't think that there is really a bad place to end up though.
Dansby is such a great talent. Miami should definitely pick him up in the future. I would not pass on him at all.
The thing is, Dansby will do nothing with Solia at NT, so to get the best production out of Dansby, they'll need to have him learn both OLB & ILB which is somewhat obvious. They'll also need to draft NT D. Williams with their 12th pick and resign Big Ferg. I would say.
If the Cards moved Boldin would they add Randle El? Doucet is clearly ready to step up, but someone familiar with Whiz's system could add depth and quality return reps behind that.
Karlos Dansby
Such an amazing player to watch.
yes it is very funny,It is interesting to see where all of these guys end up. I think that a lot of them do not end up where they originally wanted to. I don't think that there is really a bad place to end up though.
and Miami has all that Joey Porter money to spend.
Welcome to Miami.
I'm adoring South Florida. I like the kind of climate and nature. Perhaps it is also strongly like South Florida? :)
