Dolphins' Porter seeks 49ers, Cardinals
Feb 2, 2010 5:11 PM
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. -- Four-time Pro Bowl linebacker Joey Porter would look good in a 49ers or Cardinals uniform.


Porter
That's how Porter sees things, anyway.

Porter, upset with the Miami Dolphins over a diminished role in 2009, spoke his mind Tuesday during an interview with Miami radio station WQAM.

The Dolphins own Porter's rights through the 2011 season, but they may release him before paying a $1 million roster bonus next month. Porter would then be free to sign with another team. He went to high school in Bakersfield, Calif., and told WQAM he wanted to play on the West Coast for a team with a 3-4 defensive scheme. He specifically named the 49ers, Cardinals and Chargers.

Cardinals coach Ken Whisenhunt and some assistants worked for the Steelers when Porter played in Pittsburgh. Porter, 32, would not help the Cardinals get younger at a position where advanced age was an issue last season. But if the fit and price were right, Porter could be worth the investment.

Porter had 9.0 sacks for the Dolphins last season and 17.5 for them in 2008.

bring him to the NINERS!!! will find a way to get him spikes and willis on the field at the same time!

He's my favorite player in the goddamn NFL. Whoever gets him, i'm pulling a tony and buying your teams jersey.

Joey said he wanted to play for the Niners 3 years ago too but they showed no interest. Don't think they will want to sign him considering they have Goldson, Willis, Davis, Lawson and Gore coming up on contracts in the next 2 years. Well maybe not Gore, he will be 29 by then.

Go to the Chargers

lol niners are well under the cap, also you act as if goldson and lawson are going to be able to demand a ridiculous amount of money. also we signed gore resonable contract while entering his prime. what makes you think anything will change now that he is older and comfortable in SF. Also porter is the one saying he wants to come to the west coast so its also on him to make the salary issues work out.

 

[OC_Ridah]

They won't but Willis and Davis are going to want to get paid. Plus the Niners are going to want to pay them a big chunk of their contract in the first year like they did with Staley.

bet you anything he gos to the cards cuzz whiz is his old coach... i would love this!

 

[Meta4iCAL]

hopefully he goes to the Cards... I like Peezy, and I would hate to ruin that by seeing him in a Chargers or Niners uniform

How much you want to bet he doesnt?

 

[TRAJIK1]

I would love if he came to Frisco. But he doesn't scare me against our offense cuz Davis handled him pretty good last time! So if he ends up in AZ it wouldn't matter.

theres no room in the 49ers lb corps for porter

theres no room in the 49ers lb corps for porter to be a starter

fixed

 

[hella_numb]

so he's leaving miami becuase hes going to be in a reduced roll next season, and you think hes going to come to SF and not start? dude wants to start at LB next year plain and simple

They also have a shitload of cap room every year. Signing Porter would not be an issue financially. That's assuming they get a new CBA on the table and there is a cap.

Quit hating.

I understand you not wanting him to be a Charger because he will fuck your team up twice a year, but not wanting him to be a Niner is just some hater shit!

LOL

You're acting like he didn't just name the Niners as a team of interest.

And to be clear, he is an OLB in a 3-4. Meaning he would start over Lawson or Haralson (for sure, seeing as how Brooks might bounce Haralson anyway).

Porter >> Lawson
Porter >> Haralson
Porter >> Brooks

How do we not have room for him again?

LMFAO..... feel me?

 

[hella_numb]

9 sacks, 41 tackles in 14 games last season. another year older, not sure if he is really what he was which is why miami aint really trippin off signing him back. he would be fine in a 49ers jersey i just really dont want the 49ers to go hard after him.

 

[nonfiCKtion]

Go to the Chargers

Nah! Id rather fot the chargers to after Julius Peppers instead.
