scribo Posted November 2, 2004 Posted November 2, 2004 Dolphins waive center Ball DAVIE, Fla. (AP) -- Center Jason Ball was waived by the Miami Dolphins after he failed his physical. Ball was claimed last week by Miami, but is still hampered by an ankle injury suffered last season. He was released Oct. 26 by the San Diego Chargers following clashes with management.

Bear Posted November 2, 2004 Posted November 2, 2004 I'd say if the Fish can't use him, either can we. Of course, after he clears waivers he wouldn't be bad guy to have on IR in hopes of a recovery for next year.
MadBuffaloDisease Posted November 2, 2004 Posted November 2, 2004 I'd still pick him up, for next year. He's cheap and when healthy, good. Unless his ankle injury is beyond repair.
JStranger76 Posted November 3, 2004 Posted November 3, 2004 Agreed. When it comes to the OLine and the Buffalo Bills, you gotta take some chances. He is proven when healthy, so if we can afford to do it, take a chance.

If the Bills sign him and IR him, it costs them $214K on the cap this year and nothing next year if they have to cut him prior to the start of next season.
JStranger76 Posted November 3, 2004 Posted November 3, 2004 I'm all for it man. Along with many here, I want a top level guy like Pace or Jones on this team so bad, but even if management took a shot at one of them, we don't have a #1 pick if we try for a franchised guy. Even if we are willing to shell out the cash, it's going to be extremely difficult to get a top Olineman in free agency. We may have to just go after Abraham a hope we beat everyone 10-6.
