^^ Yes, it means "analysts" recognize that Miami traded away their #1 WR and has not yet replaced him.  Nothing more.

By "someone" doesn't faze me, but multiple someone's usually means there's something to it. Doesn't mean they'll sign him or even go after him, but it wouldn't surprise me if they kicked the tires. -EK

Just like the multiple someones linking Manning to Miami at the start of that process. No, just because a name is thrown around it does not mean anything.

Wiser course of action would be to kick him in the balls.

Somewhat surprising news, the Fins are going to work-out Ocho Cinco this week.

Looks like "THE HBO EFFECT" is kicking in. Gotta bring in name stars for the reality show even if they can't play at all anymore.

Even if he can't play very well anymore, he might be the best 1 or 2 option on the team.

He couldn't learn the offense in NE and had "trouble" understanding the playbook. I find it hard to believe he will be able to play in an up-tempo offense of 80-90 offensive snaps a game (that's the goal at least) at his age.

Even if he is given a contract and brought to camp (for an HBO storyline) I would be surprised if he makes the team.

I don't know how much he's got left in the tank, but the offense in NE is very complicated for WRs.  They've got to make the reads to get open--not just run a particular route.  In Miami, he will be asked to only run a particular pattern.  If he can do that, he'll have a good chance to make the team...and maybe start.

But this sort of nonsense isn't somehow a distraction? It's all good, no downside right?

So, everything that happens now is going to get blamed on HBO?

Chad Ocho Cinco will be signing with the Miami Dolphins pending a passed physical.

I am not excited about this move. Also, I questions Brian's source. I don't do Twitter so I have no idea who that is, but it looks like a throw it at the wall and see if it sticks tweet. To my knowledge the workout has not even happened yet so it sounds premature. That said, if the workout goes well enough, at this point I would expect a contract offer pending a passed physical.
