Trade rumors picked up around Jordan and the team on Friday, keying on the notion the new Dolphins regime might be interested in making a trade.
Really? Well …
The Miami Herald also pooh-poohed the report.
So that says means that the Dolphins may internally have raised the idea of trading Jordan but haven’t actually shopped him yet.
Even with an overall of executives, the Dolphins would be hard pressed to explain why they would trade a player selected so high in the draft after fewer than 350 snaps. As Sporting News noted last year:
Jordan might be a bit out of position — he's better suited to a 3-4, according to some scouts — but reports from Dolphins watchers believe it is too early to trade him. Jordan has enough talent and time to develop as a 4-3 end.
There's more: Whiffs of a fire sale emanate in Miami, where critics say Jordan doesn't fit the scheme and has lackluster results. Also popping up in reports from the NFL Network's Jason LaCanfora: The Dolphins are looking to peddle defensive end Cameron Wake and wide receiver Mike Wallace.
Pish-posh, the Herald's Armando Salguero reported via Twitter.
Consider your grain of salt served.
To be clear, Dolphins tell me they are not shopping/trading any of three players mentioned in today's CBS report. No equivocation.
