Initially, there was the steroid/trainer issues, and he's had some nagging injuries since then.

Is he worth bringing in to camp for the minimum with possible incentives? Or is he washed-up?

Apparently he is washed up. He has done nothing the last few years and has not been able to stay healthy. It was obvious he was on steroids early on and since he has been off them he has had weight and health problems as well as losing a lot of his strength and speed.

I wouldn't mind bringing him in for a look but not with any kind of guaranteed money unless he makes the team.

Woods, I'm not sure if he is still on the Dolphins roster or not. Saw him out here at 'Fins camp last summer up close, he still looked muscular and still could run pretty well, and that was as he was still somewhat rehabbing the torn ACL he suffered in a 2004 mini-camp.

His attitude seems to have improved since he arrived in Miami. No reported issues at all, and when they asked him to drop about 15-20 pounds after he first got here in '04, he did it immediately and without protest.

Obviously, the only concern is that he couldn't even beat out Wes Welker for the 3rd receiver spot on the Dolphins last season. Perhaps being 2 years removed from his surgery would help. I can't believe a guy with enough talent to rack up 98 catches for 1,598 yards a few years ago, and 70 catches in an injury-shortened season in '03 in San Diego, just drops off the face of the earth.

He blew out his patella tendon not his acl I believe but you are spot on with the rest of it.

Thanks.

If his attitude has improved, and if he's close to getting healthy, I wouldn't mind giving him the "M. Colombo look" this off-season. I'd have to imagine he'd be cheap as chips as well.

He's still the same player that asked his teamates to not hit him in practice because he was sore from getting his nipples pierced. :eek:

I don't think he was on roids. I think he was using HGH, his head got bigger in the last couple of years he was in the league !!

That's him on the right. He just got too big to play.

I don't think the guy has enough flexibility to get into a 3 point stance.

Here he is about 5 months ago.


The other pic is more recent.


Steroids or lots and lots of vitamins? You decide.
