The Sun-Sentinel reports the Miami Dolphins may keep CB Patrick Surtain if a trade cannot be worked out. It is believed the Dolphins may be interested in extending Surtain's contract, but both sides – the team and his agent, Gary Uberstine – have different opinions about his value. Uberstine said the way the free-agent market unfolds will likely determine Surtain's fate and that the Dolphins were interested in trading Surtain for draft picks.

When are comp. picks announced? If we get a 3rd rounder (I wish) from there we might be more inclined to deal our 2nd.

Contract extensions can involve tiered bonuses or roster bonuses in order to facilitate trading...

Does Miami have a 3rd round pick, or is that one they have already traded away? If they've still got it, I'd give them our 2nd and one of our 4th round pics for Surtain and their 3rd.

Possibly, sure, but I've never seen this happen (where the guy signs and extension then gets traded away the same offseason). Usually it's trade the guy and let the new team sign him to the contract they're already pre-agreed on.

As always, if you know of any examples, I'm all ears.

Dear God

Is there anything worse than being a Dolphins fan?
