Breaking News: Chris Chambers Traded to San Diego


Yes, you read the title correctly. Here are my initial reactions.

  • This is the first domino to fall in the rebuilding process.
  • If the Dolphins can go 0-6 WITH Chris Chambers, then we can afford to go 0-6 WITHOUT him.
  • Ted Ginn, Jr. must be the guy to slide into the starting WR position. This makes us happy here at TG&T
  • A 2nd round draft pick (no matter how close is it towards the 3rd round) is more than I thought we could get for him. If this is true, then we got a good value for this trade, in my opinion.
  • This trade makes sense. Name a wide receiver for the Chargers. Most would say Antonio Gates, and while he's the best receiver on that team, he plays tight end. San Diego needed a good receiver for the final dimension of that offense. The Dolphins meanwhile need to get 9th overall pick on the field more and acquire young talent for the defense.
  • It is still sad to see Chambers leave. He has been a Dolphin ever since we drafted him in 2001 (a rare good pick by us). He has been a hard worker and gave us consistent production. He made the pro bowl in 2005.
Your thoughts?
