Per ESPN.com... Green, Booker among nine cuts by rebuilding Dolphins MIAMI -- The new Miami regime has started to put its imprint on the Dolphins roster. The Dolphins cut nine players on Monday, including quarterback Trent Green and wide receiver Marty Booker. Green, 37, suffered a Grade 3 concussion in Miami's Oct. 7 game at Houston when he blocked Texans' defensive tackle Travis Johnson, and was accidentally kneed in the head. It marked the second straight season in which Green sustained a serious head injury. In five games for the Dolphins, he threw for 987 yards with five touchdowns and seven interceptions. Booker was cut after his fourth season with Miami. In 2007, he had 556 receiving yards and one touchdown. He had over 1,000 yards receiving in two seasons with the Bears earlier in his career, but never reached the 1,000-yard plateau with the Dolphins. "This is never easy, especially since all of these players worked hard during their tenure here," Dolphins general manager Jeff Ireland said in a team statement. "In particular, in the case of each of the veterans, it's especially difficult to release players who have been productive and valued members of the organization. However, we feel these decisions are in the best interest of the team. "I want to thank all of them for their contributions to the Dolphins and wish them good luck." Other players cut by the Dolphins were tackle L.J. Shelton, defensive tackle Keith Traylor, tackle Anthony Alabi, defensive tackle Anthony Bryant, tackle Marion Dukes, defensive tackle Marquay Love and tackle Joe Toledo.
I wouldn't mind taking a look at Traylor for shits and giggles...he's actually played 3-4 NT before and it'd be nice to have some depth there...even if that depth will be 39 next season...if he even made the roster.
given the depth of our wr corp...marty booker would be the 3rd best wr on our team i wouldn't want that to be where we stop upgrading at wr by any means....but having a solid veteran 4th or 5th on the depth chart...or at least competing to be the 4th or 5th ...that helps a young qb
booker is the only guy I would look at, but clearly everyone thought he was going to be the next big thing a couple of years ago
