Vernon Carey T worth a look?

An anonymous agent told the Palm Beach Post that he doesn't believe the Dolphins will re-sign free agent OL Vernon Carey.
It's worth noting that this comes from a player rep who doesn't represent Carey and may not be close to the situation. "I just don’t think they like him that much," the agent said. "They don’t think he’s worth the price tag." Miami could have shakeup at four offensive line positions next season, including right tackle, center, and both guard spots.

The guy was a 1rd pick in 04. I thought the Fins were quite high on this guy so Im a little surprised by this.

I thought I had read somewhere they were very interested in re-signing him. Good fit on the right side?

I did too, my fin friends think they'd be crazy to let him go. IMO a great fit on the right side.

If Parcells doesn't want him, it seems unlikely that Pioli will. Who knows, though. Maybe it'll be a stop-gap solution.

Here is some info on him.

2004
Carey was a first-round draft choice (19th overall) of his hometown Miami Dolphins in the 2004 NFL Draft. He was the third offensive lineman selected, behind only Iowa offensive tackle Robert Gallery (2nd, Oakland Raiders) and Arkansas offensive guard Shawn Andrews (16th, Philadelphia Eagles). The Dolphin signed Carey to a five-year, $8.6 million deal. Carey earned $6.3 million in total salary in his first year.

Carey was tried at both tackle and guard during training camp his rookie season. He went on to play in 14 games, including two starts. The first of his NFL career came when he opened at right tackle in place of the injured John St. Clair (ankle) at the New England Patriots on October 10. He also opened at that spot the following week at the Buffalo Bills. Carey struggled at times during his rookie campaign, but showed enough promise to be a solid starter in the near future.


[edit] 2005
Carey was originally planned to be the starter at left tackle in 2005, but he was shifted to right tackle in August. He went on to play in all 16 games, including 14 starts at right tackle. He secured the right tackle job following the benching of Stockar McDougle after Week 6. Carey was part of a line that yielded just 26 sacks - the fourth-lowest total in the NFL - and led a running game that averaged 118.6 yards an outing and 4.3 yards per rush attempt, which ranked seventh and fourth in the AFC. He took part in all but one offensive snap over the final 11 weeks of the season.


[edit] 2006
The team once again considered moving Carey in 2006 - this time to right guard - however that notion was quickly abandoned. During a season when the Dolphins' offensive line mightily struggled early in the year, Carey was the lone bright spot. Starting all 16 games of the year at right tackle, Carey was by far the Dolphins' most consistent and productive offensive lineman.


[edit] 2007
During a news conference that occurred during the first day of the 2007 NFL Draft, Coach Cam Cameron announced that Carey is now the team's starting left tackle

No.

I think he'd be a good fit at RT...as long as he doesn't want LT money. I still see him sticking in Miami. He was born there, grew up there and went to school there.

Carey has never played to the level of his draft selection.

I'd rather find a RT in the mid rounds.

So he played like a mid rounder?

There are quality starters throughout the league on the O-Line who were drafted in the 4th round or later, and a mid rounder (Fenuki Tupou) in this draft will fill the position for a much cheaper price tag.

F'ing WPI


2009 Scout.com NFL Free Agency Tracker has him as the 9th best OT FA.

Thats pretty impressive, I would say he has played pretty darn good. I would welcome him to our line. He would make an immediate impact, unlike a 4th round draft choice.

Marvel Smith, Willie Colon and Max Starks are rated #2, #8 and #10 respectively.

Did these guys actually watch the Steelers?

And I'm expected to take thse rankings seriously?

They also have Khalif Barnes at #7.

It's really a pretty sad group.

Any 4th rounders?

The guy I like the most from that list, Tyson Clabo, was an undrafted free agent.

Unfortunately he's a RFA.

At center, though, I'd go hard after Jason Brown, who was a 4th rounder.

Well you guys are looking at list from Scout.com who happens to be the home of the infamous WPI.

The guy has been a starting tackle in the league for quite awhile, hasnt missed a game in 3 years. I would love to have him. And it would save us a draft pick while solidifying our line.

Shit my bad lemme take that down.

Right again, as usual:
