After Ted Ginn and Ernest Wilford, it’s anybody’s guess who will fill out the ranks at wide receiver for the Miami Dolphins this season. There were hopes that Tab Perry, late of the Bengals, might shake off the injury bug and contribute to the offense.
Dreams were dashed this weekend, then, when Perry blew out his Achilles during an OTA. He was released today. Perry showed flashes of ability with the Bengals in 2005 when he set a team record for kickoff return yardage and played a major role in kick coverage.
Even though he only played four games over the past two seasons because of hip injuries, Perry figured to get a long look with the Dolphins this summer. Karl Dorrell, his coach at UCLA, is the team’s new receivers coach. Now he’ll have to sift through Derek Hagan, Greg Camarillo, David Kircus and two rookie free agents, Davone Bess and Jayson Foster, to round out the unit.

I can top that. I just released a bit of stomach gas.

The article is wrong. Perry has not received an injury settlement, and just because he was “waived/injured” does not mean he will. It is likely to happen, but being waived/injured is just a precursor to going on injured reserve.

By the way, you’re missing two more undrafted rookies - Purdue’s Selwyn Lymon and Grand Rapids CC’s Justin Wynn.

Does it really make a difference who the receivers are? Who’s the freaking quarterback?

I’m a Dolphins fan, and beat writers tend to not know what the hell they’re talking about.

Every time I read an article like this I ask myself… who? Man, we are going to suck AGAIN. Ted Ginn is our Number One? Eeek.
Surely there’s somebody out there worth a nickel?
As far as QB - well, SSDD.
Sheesh this is going to be a loooong season. More beer, less wins. Oh wait, they’d almost have to try to get less wins. Could happen…

Bengals fan here: Tab Perry just couldn’t stay healthy, or we’d still have him. Best of luck to him.

When a team is rebuilding with young players, it’s not unusual for those guys not to be household names. That doesn’t mean they won’t be any good. The same goes for its young QBs — even though their names are better known.
As far as Tab Perry, the team is in a position where it needs to release currently signed players just to make room for each of its remaining draft picks. Perry’s injury — however it turns out, on IR or simply released — made at least one of those pending decisions easier.

David Kircus isn’t in jail right now? Jesus, I didn’t even know he was still in the league.

I feel bad for Tab Perry. He’s a good guy with a lot of talent. Just brittle, I guess.

Just curious….does anyone know approximately how much he will receive for an injury settlement? Would it be close to what his one year contract is or more or less?

Keep an eye out on Devon Bess. He will be the 3rd receiver. The guy has great hand and runs great routes. He may not have run a great 40 but he dose have football speed.

I’m not sure of the amount of an injury settlement, but it’s definitely less than the contract. Maybe a hundred grand, two at the most? Possibly a lot less.
As for Bess, if you know him like you think you do, I’d think you’d know it’s spelled Davone. And he will not be Miami’s third receiver early on.
