A South Florida Sun-Sentinel article suggests the Dolphins' 2nd round selection of Jonathan Martin could signal the end of Jake Long's tenure in Miami.

Martin primarily play LT in college and there's some who believe the Long won't fit well into the Dolphins new offensive approach. According to team sources, the Dolphins plan to employ less power and more a spread-finesse type of offensive moving forward.

Long is due $11.2 million in base salary this season...which probably has way more to do with anything than offensive scheme.

releasing him or trading him would be stupid.

Jake Long would still be better than Jonathan Martin and the majority of the LTs in the league in that system.

But if the Dolphins want to move him, I have absolutely no objections to their decision :D

Crazy trade:

Colts 2 2nd round draft picks for Jake Long. Colts get a very good LT who will protect Luck for many years to come. Dolphins get good draft picks to continue to rebuild.

I think a lot of teams wouldn't object to Long being available lol

If they let go of long, Tannehill's rookie year will be VERY rough.
