Joey Porter to Dallas??

[RealCowboyfan]

I hope that the Dallas Cowboys sign Porter or Edwards...

Grow the hell up dude, stop being so emotional like a little girl. Bobby Carpenter wasn't all that at Ohio State, Parcells goofed up and picked him two round too early...

I don't think Bobby would've lasted that long. I think that the Patroits or Charges might have drafted him if we didn't. Im glad we got him.

Ellis is starting if he can fully recover from the achilles injury, Carpenter isn't the player everyone thinks he is...

He really isn't and is better suited inside than outside. If we have a chance to add Porter we should. Ware/Burnett on the weakside, with Porter/Ellis on the strongside would be awsome. I think he may push Bradie James for a starting role this year, but he should compete in the middle, not the outside.

well i believe carpenter being a rookie that it seems parcells refused to play for most of the year coming into a big playoff game and having 4 solo tackles 1 asst. 1 QB hurry and 3 passes defensed was a bright spot for the future more than a blemish. He is one of those guys that wheter he makes the tackle or not is always around the ball. I believe with wades scheme we will see special things from Carpenter.

Joey Porter has agreed to a five-year, $32 million contract with the Miami Dolphins, making the former second-team All-Pro linebacker the first marquee player to join the club during this free-agent period.

Ex-Steeler Porter to receive $20M guaranteed from Dolphins

MIAMI -- Joey Porter has agreed to a five-year, $32 million contract with the Miami Dolphins, making the former second-team All-Pro linebacker the first marquee player to join the club during this free-agent period.

Porter is guaranteed $20 million in the deal, which was agreed to late Monday, according to a person with knowledge of the discussion who requested anonymity because Porter has not yet passed his physical and the contract might not be signed until Wednesday or Thursday.

Porter spent his first eight seasons with the Pittsburgh Steelers, who released him last week in a salary-cap move. He would have received $1 million if he was on the Steelers roster Tuesday, and was set to make $4 million more for the 2007 season, the final one under his deal with Pittsburgh.

His 60 sacks rank fourth in Steelers history, and he only figures to add more star power to a Dolphins defense that already has reigning Defensive Player of the Year Jason Taylor and ranked fourth in the NFL in yards allowed last season.

And the linebacker position, which was already considered a strength with Pro Bowler Zach Thomas and Channing Crowder -- who combined for 269 tackles in 2006 -- now has a player in Porter that averaged more than 60 tackles annually in his tenure with Pittsburgh, a team he helped win the Super Bowl two seasons ago.

Porter's addition is part of what's becoming a major roster overhaul by the Dolphins -- who were 6-10 last season -- and new coach Cam Cameron.

Already, Miami has either released or traded seven players who started at least one game on offense in 2006: offensive linemen Bennie Anderson, Damion McIntosh and Jeno James, quarterback Joey Harrington, tight end Randy McMichael, running back Sammy Morris and wide receiver Wes Welker.

Plus, the Dolphins have parted ways with defensive end Kevin Carter, defensive tackle Dan Wilkinson and offensive lineman Seth McKinney, who missed 2006 because of injury.
