Reports surfaced yesterday that former Cane Eric Winston was working out for Miami today. Now this is intriguing because the Dolphins have been working out every possible suitor to fill in the Oline. From former superbowl winner Bryant Mckinnie, to former Falcons RT Tyson Clabo, along with Winston Justice. This are my personal thoughts on the matter. Winston and Miami both know what they want, Eric wants a long term deal,and Miami wants a stopgap. This is important to keep in mind because before the draft Miami had not considered anyone but Winston and both sides seemed far apart. Suddenly Jeff starts working out every available OT in the market and right after that Winston is working out for us coincidence? I think not I think Jeff was trying to apply pressure and its obviously working. Keep in mind that Winston and Miami have been in touch for a while, and both have an idea of what they want. This is key because it means that a deal can happen very soon if the workout goes smoothly. For now that's all it is a workout but given the struggle it took for both parties to reach this point it has added value. Things can move very quickly from this point and I have a feeling something will get done either way in the next 48 hours. Here is a link for more on the matter.
