Ryan Clark looking to sign with Dolphins

[QUOTE]Two days after dumping free agent bust Gibril Wilson, the Dolphins are working on acquiring another safety.

Steelers free safety Ryan Clark arrived in Miami Sunday evening, according to Jeff Darlington of the Miami Herald.

"There were a lot of good offers, and a lot of good fits," Clark said upon arrival. "But this seems like a good spot. So I'm praying it goes well."

Clark says he chose his first visit carefully, and hope he doesn't make another.

"That's the reason we waited so long to take any [free agent] trips," Clark said. "We had interested teams that I didn't really want to go to, and I didn't want to try to make myself look busy by going to a bunch of different places."

Keeping the big hitter doesn't appear to be a big priority for the Steelers, and the Dolphins look ready to spend more of owner Stephen Ross' money this offseason.[/QUOTE]

It's the interview that makes you hate him, right? He's a decent safety, right? I don't want Ed Reed or anything. Just give me someone who doesn't miss tackles and catches most of the passes that hit his hands and I'm good.

he came across as a pompus ass wanting more money than he is worth. and did you see him play this year after troy went down?? he sucked. as long as troy is in there playing clark is good, but without troy, he is awful.

Isn't this the guy that has some sort of a condition that doesn't allow him to play in Denver?

Something about the thin air that does something to his respiratory system?

That would put up red flags for me.

David Harris · 03-07-2010, 08:22 PM

Again I hope they opened up the bank.

The more resources poured into these alright players the better.

That could only happen in Denver.

Dimitri_0515 · 03-07-2010, 08:41 PM

He's an average player, we could find someone else better in the draft anyway. Let him go to the Dolphags.

well the air is thinner in denver b/c of the sea level. that is what caused the diesase to go into effect.

the dolphins need someone for henne to throw the ball too, not a safety

Flaming Mo · 03-08-2010, 06:24 AM

I love watching Ryan Clark, the guy is a menacing hitter, a true old school head hunter. With that said, he isn't anything special. Solid player but that's it...

We're restricted from signing him anyway.
