Mr. P Posted October 6, 2011 Author Share Posted October 6, 2011 Dolphins have agreed to terms with QB Sage Rosenfels with Chad Henne out for the season. Contracts being signed and finalized Rosenfels is taking his physical now for Miami. If/when he passes that, the deal will become official and he will join the roster. http://twitter.com/#!/JasonLaCanfora Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treehugger Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 Weird that he can go from IR on our team to the active roster of the Dolphins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Storm Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 Weird that he can go from IR on our team to the active roster of the Dolphins. And we had to give him an injury settlement. Ridiculous. Why didn't we instead of IR him, keep him on the roster, and TRADE him to the Dolphins? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once he's placed on IR I don't think he can go back to the active roster or practice squad for the rest of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I said instead of IRing him.... Wasn't like we needed Brian Williams....there's your roster space.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When they IR'd Sage our CBs were dropping like flies, so I can understand the decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why didn't we instead of IR him, keep him on the roster, and TRADE him to the Dolphins? Cause I highly doubt the Dolphins would of traded for Sage. It's not like they were sitting there going "If only the Giants would let go/trade Sage we would go undefeated, quick call up the GM and demand a trade now!" The fact that Henne was put on IR today, means that Sage is just a knee jerk reaction looking for another QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's exactly what I'm talking about, if he was on our team, they couldn't knee jerk reaction pick him up, could they? Who else is out there that is better than Rosenfels?

Or the Giants should of had some sort of crystal ball that would let them know that today Chad Henne would be put on IR and that for some insane reason they would be able to trade Sage to the 'Phins?

I already gave you someone who wasted a roster spot way more so than Rosenfels. Teams keep a good backup quarterback on the roster all the time to trade away. We had two QBs that could probably start for the Dolphins right now. And I don't think Garrard is better than Rosenfels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, I didn't say that, and I get what you're saying, but we were talking about the possibility of getting something for Sage before we inexplicably IRed him for a sore throat. Now it's just a complete waste that we actually traded for this dude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now it's just a complete waste that we actually traded for this dude. Honestly it's Week 5 of the season, no backup QB has been traded for anything big unless he is one hell of a QB or maybe just a disgruntled starting QB wanting off a team. We IRed Sage because we have a much bigger need then a back up QB I'm sure the Giants tried to shop Sage around but seriously at this point in time, what team needs Sage as a QB? The Dolphins are 0-4, they arnt making the playoffs, why trade for someone who might make your team 3-13 by season end? And I wouldnt call it a waste, we needed a legit back up if Eli went down last season who did we have behind Eli? Wasnt it Peytons old backup?

Allstarjim Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 It wasn't a complete waste. He was traded to provide insurance for Eli Manning LAST YEAR, after Sorgi went down. Assuming we didn't IR him, there would be no guarantee another team would trade for Sage. Not even the Dolphins, in their current position. They may have just signed someone off the street (like Garrard) rather than part with a draft pick (even a mid-rounder) for Sage. For me, I don't understand why they didn't just release him after the preseason, if they knew they'd be rolling with Carr as the backup for this year. To me, that would've made more sense.

Allstarjim Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 Sorgi got hurt and was placed on IR last year, hence the trade for Sage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tempest Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 I believe this came down to a deal. Sage went to the team and asked to be released so he could get picked up. Dolphins weren't going to trade for him. We might have gotten some good will out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't know what he too for his injury settlement. The Giants might have been able to save themselves a million by agreeing to release him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
