Chargers released WR Chris Chambers.

I saw the writing when he was here, lol.

This is bad news for us though.  It may be a bit tougher to get Vincent Jackson as the Chargers may value his services a bit more than I thought.  Still A.J. Smith is a bit of a moron when it comes to his own free agents.

Have to give it to Cam/Randy maybe there best move in there short time here. Getting a second for him got us Henne I believe.

We got enough 2nd WR's who drop passes.. LOL.. 

If we sign Chambers, he starts for us immediately. Sad to say but even as a Charger discard, he's an upgrade over anything we have right now.

No he doesn't.  They cut him cause he can't get open.  I would take any of our WRs over Chambers...even Ted Ginn.

Hey we agree on something. LOL!

he's not what we need either...

Should Dolphins bring back Chris Chambers?

Miami Dolphins General Manager Jeff Ireland likes to refer to his job as if he's a nut harvester picking up acorns.

If there's something out there worth exploring Ireland openly admits he'll pick it up and give it a good once over.

Well, the Chargers just dropped an acorn by releasing veteran receiver Chris Chambers, and it couldn't come at a better time for the Dolphins, which just saw it's offense put up a total of 104 yards in a win over the Jets.

Chambers, who averages 14.2 yards per catch throughout his career, and was once a Pro Bowler with the Dolphins, might be older, and he might have slowing down some. But considering the state that Miami's receiving corp is presently in, and how young and impressionable Chad Henne is as a first-time starting quarterback, it's worth exploring Chambers.

If the Dolphins REALLY think they are still in the hunt for the AFC East crown ,and a playoff berth, and are one receiver away, why not show the team and fan base you're making every effort to do your part by signing the veteran receiver, bringing Chambers back to South Florida.

Chris chambers The need the Dolphins have might make it worth claiming Chambers instead of waiting for him to clear waivers. That way there's no competition (unless another team wants to eat the remainder of his $4.55 million salary, which is about $2.4 million for nine games).

It all comes down to how desperate this franchise is at that position, and based on what we've seen from the first seven games, Ireland should be pretty desperate.

However, this is a gamble. Do we really know how much Chambers has left? He's had a ton of issues off the field this season, so that needs to be explores. And so does his drive. Does he still have the heart to play this game?

It's funny that the same issues people had with Chambers in San Diego (not tough enough, doesn't fight for the ball, inconsistent hands) are the same issues Dolphins fans have with Ted Ginn Jr. the receiver, his former protege.

But Chambers would immediately become the most polished receiver on this inexperienced unit, and it's possible he could make Henne better by becoming the one receiver that consistently creates separation.

It's at least worth Ireland picking up the acorn, right?




Why should Chambers be interested in returning to Miami?

1. Everyone always wants to come home, and it doesn't hurt that the Dolphins are still in a playoff hunt. The regime might have changed, but this is a familiar area, and familiar team considering he spent six-plus seasons with this franchise.

2. What NFL team needs a receiver more than the Dolphins. This could be his opportunity to earn another decent deal on the free agent market in 2010. And if things play out well this could possibly be more than a one season deal.

3. What better way to prove San Diego was wrong about you by helping the Dolphins, the team they gave a second round pick to for him, make the playoffs.

Deuces.

I dunno, IMO, the new Dolphins regime has been rebuilding with youth. I don't see them going after Chambers when he's not doing much better than the WR corps we have now and he's longer in the tooth than all of them.
