Ricky's appeal to move up?

[NYFan204]

I heard on the radio that the "fins are trying to have Ricky's appeal resolved before the draft.

I don't think this is any move. The April 10th date is the first one set.

I think it's something they need to know, so that they can see if they need to address the issue.  ...or at least to smokescreen.

Sure, this makes sense... Miami wants to make sure the league doesn't drag it's feet on the process, and they want to recuperate any trade value Ricky has, in time to use that trade value in the draft.

I'm not sure that "wanting" the process to be expedited will result in a quicker result or not, but it does show me that Saban is making sure that all the little details are taken care of.

I don't think Ricky is going to be traded, but they're trying to get it resolved before the draft so they can see if they'll have to take a running back or not.
