Read this on a Dolphins forum (making the rounds today)

On the rumor:

1. Jim Irsay said it's a vet/starter

2. Also said it would be for a high pick

3. Irsay referenced his checkbook, suggesting contract could e an issue

4. John Michael Vincent of ESPN 1070 in Indy talked about it being Vontae Davis this afternoon

5. Later, Phil Richards of Indianapolis Star reported his source says it's a corner

6. Jason La Canfora says it is not Michael Jenkins

7. Mortensen says he hears skepticism from league sources, think Irsay is yanking chains

8. Phil Richards denies that speculation, says serious trade is being discussed

On the plausibility:

1. We know the Ravens were high on Vontae Davis in 2009

2. Chuck Pagano was the DB Coach at that time so I'm sure he was high on Vontae

3. The Eagles were rumored to be high on him, but preferred Maclin over him

4. Ryan Grigson was part of that Eagles front office

5. Vontae Davis has been a starter 3 years, is a vet

6. Yet Miami just replaced him w/ Richard Marshall, who has a long term contract

7. Vontae Davis fits that defense (hence Baltimore's liking him)

8. They need a cornerback

9. Vontae is signed thru 2013

10. Jeff Ireland has made a preseason trade every year except 2011

I sure hope you're right and we get Vontae Davis!!! I dont wanna give up too much though. Maybe a 3rd and a starter we dont need so much.

Hmm Vontae Davis for Dwight Freeney straight up, Insert Jerry Hughes at Dwight spot see how that goes for the year and if Hughes doesnt get the job done then go OLB/DE in the draft, Maybe even do that anyway in the draft except in a middle round

Nope, they are, indeed, brothers.... not that it matters at all......

http://deadspin.com/...h-a-claw-hammer

seems the third brother is a winner......

Well, Best 2 out of 3 I suppose. It's sad that he chose that direction in Life being as he had two older brothers to look up to as role models. I know their family must be going through tough times right now smh

      Potential/Average/Concern

      By RollerColt · Posted

      Thank you. You guys are too kind, but I truly appreciate the support.    Perhaps I am being too hard on myself… But my point still stands that anyone who makes it to the NFL, whether practice squad or starter, has achieved something prestigious that only a rare few ever achieve.    Over a million high schoolers play. Of those only 7.8 percent move on to play in college.    Over 80,000 people play in college. Only 0.4 percent make it to opening day in the NFL.    Only 2,016 players make it to NFL rosters.

      A Write Up On Raekwon Davis' Potential Impact

      By NewColtsFan · Posted

      Davis had a very good rookie season after being drafted in the 2nd round out of Ohio State (I believe).   Graded in the 70’s against both the run and pass.      But his last three years have been disappointing, as he’s graded in the mid-50’s.   The reason I’m so interested in this signing, is (A) I’m sure it was heavily influenced by the new DL coach, Partridge.   And (B) we’re paying him 2/14.  I don’t recall that kind of money ever being given to a basic backup before.   Don’t think Davis is here to push Stewart, the Colts just signed him to 3/39.  That tells me the Colts defensive staff sees him differently.   I don’t know what the plan the staff has come up with for Davis, but I’m looking forward to watching it play out.

      What I’m reading on him the Pacers did get good value. Looks like he will need time to develop but he is in the right situation to do that. The pacers are stacking some quality young players that will prove to be more outstanding depth or assets if they choose to make a trade. Very exciting time for the team right now.

      I’m not a religious person, but since you’re an educator I think you’re doing Gods work!   In these crazy insane times we’re all living in you’re doing one of the toughest jobs on earth.  And you’re teaching perhaps the most difficult generation to deal with.     From a distance it feels like you’re being very unfair to you.  I’m hoping in time you’ll see yourself in a completely different light.    Someone highly thought of.  A leader in the community.  A protector of young minds.   I couldn’t admire a teacher more.
