Now it appears that the Dolphins are not finished churning the roster, because as long as WR Jabar Gaffney receives a favorable report from his physical, then it is very possible that he could sign with the Dolphins before September 9th. Gaffney is a 10 year veteran, who managed to catch 68 passes for 947 yards and 5 TD’s last season for the Washington Redskins. Even though those stats are not mind blowing, the funny thing is that they would make him the number one receiver on the Dolphins. Clearly phins news fans fantasies of adding a stud receiver this year will be unmet, but the addition of a Gaffney type player would definitely be an upgrade to this alligator armed receiving crew. Not only was he productive last year playing with low end quarterbacks like Rex Grossman and John Beck, but he adds veteran leadership to a position that is clearly lacking.
The reality is that the only way the Dolphins are going to truly improve in the wide receiver department is through the draft. Since they are clearly stock piling draft picks for next season, sports gambling fans should not be surprised if the Phins roll the dice on a wide receiver early and often in next year’s draft. Two receivers that could possibly enter the draft next year are the USC Trojan boys; Marqise Lee (Sophomore) and Robert Woods (Junior), and they would definitely be worth a shot at drafting.
