If I were running the Dolphins I sure as hell would want him there.

Yeah Williams and Ronnie Brown would make for a good 1-2 punch for the Phins.

New Orleans Saints trade a 6th round pick to the Dolphins for K Olindo Mare.
Denver Broncos sign Patriots P Todd Sauerbrun to a one-year deal. New England has one week to match the offer or Sauerbrun will become a Bronco.

A 6th is a little high, but the Saints were waiting for the Phins to release Mare, and they wouldnt do it. They also rejected the Saints offer of a 7th rounder.
On top of that Saints K John Carney had a great year last year, and is one of the most accurate kickers in the league. But he's into his 40's now, and his leg is not near as strong as it once was. It got so bad that the Saints had to sign Cowboys castoff Billy Cundiff just for kickoffs. On top of that, while warming up before the NFC Championship Game, Carney couldnt hit ANYthing past 40 yards, to the point where they had to let Cundiff, a career 72.3% kicker, handle FG's for that game. I dont think Payton wanted to go another year using up a roster spot just for a kickoff specialist.
Mare didnt have a very strong year in '06. But with the Saints, he will be kicking indoors for half the season, and then another two games in stadiums with retractable roofs. His performance should increase under those conditions. So overall, a little much to give up for a kicker, but a move Payton felt was necessary.
And just to add to this, the Saints also brought in Mike Vanderjagct for a tryout last month, and have yet to get back to him. He may be invited to TC to give Mare a run for the kicker's job. Though I dont see Payton keeping a guy with an attitude like Vangerjagct, after cleaning house of similar players last year.

Who's going to kick for the Giants?
Are we going to have another year when a few loses are going to be a direct result of the Giants not having a kicker?

Turns out he wasnt retiring after all. Curious as to how the retirement story came about, I saw that as well. Carney has since asked for and received his release from the Saints, and is now seeking employment elsewhere.

I sincerely hope the Packers take a run at him...he may be one of the best fits for them on the entire FA market.

Great, great player....and an even better leader.
Something that Packer defense could definitely use.
I'm holding out hope that the Broncos sign him for less money, but it didn't sound like he felt that was an option.

ESPN is reporting that Carolina is shopping DT Kris Jenkins.
This guy can start on any team in the league.....Denver may be looking at him as well as others.
Great great player....is a 4.5 million dollar cap hit and is signed through 09.
Why would they be trading him? Odd.
