The Miami Dolphins call it quits on Cam Smith and waive their former 2nd round pick from the reserve/non football illness list … The Miami Dolphins also signed WR Cedrick Wilson. What does the future look like for Tyreek and the Dolphins?
00:00And one person who's not going to be great again with the Dolphins, Cam Smith, rats off a ship.
00:05I'm going to tell you what happened.
00:09You ready?
00:10Yes, sir.
00:10This is what happens in situations like this.
00:14He probably went pout mouth, started complaining, and the Dolphins said, you ain't that guy.
00:24I'm telling you.
00:25Because think of how it went from everything we were talking about to this, right?
00:32Something had to happen.
00:34Right.
00:34Whether he said something or he was complaining about, you know, usually guys in those positions that think they should be playing will say something like this.
00:43And I've heard it before.
00:45If they're not going to play me, they might as well just let me release me and let me go somewhere and play.
00:50They say, OK, go.
00:52Bye.
00:52Right.
00:53It happens.
00:53He was yesterday waived off of the non-football injury or non-football illness reserve list.
01:02Which?
01:03And then the Dolphins went and signed Cedric Wilson, of course, a former Dolphins wide receiver because Tyreek Hill had surgery on his knee.
01:13Well, the good news is he only had ligament damage.
01:15Yeah, no nerve damage.
01:18No, like, no, no, no bones.
01:20That's good.
01:21That was all good.
01:22When you dislocate a joint, you have to be careful.
01:24Sometimes you will chip or crack something.
01:27So, if that didn't happen and it's just ligaments, that's why he could have the surgery that quick.
01:35It's also, too, with the Cam Smith thing, like, hey, man, if you're going to make this team in the secondary, this was a red carpet opportunity for you.
01:50And, honestly, you know, it's been funny because, you know, we came into this year very nervous about the secondary.
01:59The pass rush has not been great by the Miami Dolphins.
02:01The secondary's been decent.
02:03They've been pretty good.
02:04Yeah.
02:05They've been pretty good.
02:06They've come up with some big plays like Jack Jones and Rasul Douglas.
02:10Jack Jones and Rasul Douglas have been playing.
02:13I mean, they are veterans.
02:14They've been around.
02:14But, I mean, impressive.
02:16Yeah.
02:18So, that's been cool.
02:20The fact that we don't even talk about Minka, I don't know what to make of that.
02:26Yeah, I don't either.
02:27Right?
02:30But, like, if you can't make this team in the secondary, like, based on before the season started, not the way they are now, based on before the season,
02:39you should have been licking your chops as an opportunity to go out here and, regardless of what I've done in the past,
02:46I have an opportunity right here to show these guys I deserve to be on the field.
02:51Did you – so, when that news came out yesterday about Tyreek Hill, like, with the injury updates, like,
02:59Drew Rosenhaus saying he thinks he could be back realistically by the start of next year.
03:02You think that's possible?
03:03Like, that looked really bad.
03:04Yeah, but keep in mind, again, a dislocation is better sometimes than a break because you don't have the scar tissue,
03:19you don't have the calcification, you don't have to worry about all the mobility stuff because you just put it back in place
03:26and everything is fine, and then you repair the ligaments.
03:30If he had had some kind of crack or chip or cartilage damage or anything like that,
03:37now you're talking about how long is this going to last before this leg deteriorates to where he can't play the way he wants to play
03:46because now you have all these other injuries in there, things that you don't, you know, kind of think about,
03:53but you have cartilage damage or meniscus damage.
03:56Now you're talking about, at some point in the future, bone on bone, right?
04:01So from that standpoint, the fact that it was this way, and I said it when it happened, I told you this Monday,
04:07that if it's just a dislocation and there's no cracks, no breaks, or anything like that,
04:16and they can put it back in place, right?
04:19Because I got to tell you, by the time, and this is going to sound weird,
04:24by the time they put him in the cast, his leg was probably back in place.
04:29I'm talking about on the sideline.
04:33Right.
04:34So that's how these, that's what that was for.
04:39If your leg is crooked and you put it in a straight brace, what do you think's happening?
04:45Right?
04:48So I personally have dislocated my kneecap.
04:52Really?
04:53Yes.
04:54How do you want to know that?
04:56Like, that you're smiling, that means the story is just going to be ridiculous.
05:00What happened?
05:01No, I need to hear.
05:02It's not ridiculous.
05:02It's not a ridiculous story.
05:03I was a dancer.
05:04I was a competitive dancer.
05:05Okay.
05:06And I was doing a tumbling class.
05:08And we were doing front handsprings.
05:10And my knee completely, like, I landed and my knee went out and back in.
05:16Let me tell you about these handsprings, all right?
05:18This is exactly why I wanted Sophia out of this cheerleading.
05:21They throw her up there, willy-nilly.
05:23She's the little one.
05:24They almost dropped her right on her face.
05:26And I'm like, what are you guys doing?
05:27Just because you have a trampoline floor doesn't mean it doesn't hurt.
05:32I agree.
05:32And the thing was, is, like, I was way too old to be starting tumbling at the age that I was.
05:37So, I was just super inexperienced.
05:39No, I was already in middle school.
05:41No, I understand.
05:41I get what you're saying.
05:42I had never, like, trained.
05:43I had never trained in tumbling before.
05:45And then they were like, oh, we're going to start doing tumbling.
05:48And I was on the competitive team.
05:50So, I did, like, five dances.
05:52And it was a whole thing.
05:53And I never danced again because I dislocated my kneecap.
05:57My goodness.
05:57And it was one of the most painful, awful recoveries I've ever experienced in my entire life.
06:02I also noticed, like, the idea that they call it tumbling.
06:05Like, when you say tumbling, I feel like.
06:07I'm thinking you're doing, like, a roll.
06:08Little rolls.
06:10Yeah, like, my son does, like, jujitsu rolls to warm up.
06:14I consider that tumbling.
06:17Tumble down the hill.
06:18Tumbling is flifty-doos and back handspring roundoffs.
06:23And they just, oh, it's tumbling.
06:25No, I don't accept that.
06:27So, yeah, there has to, like, I, and the thing is, is the bad part about it is, too, it's, like, all his ligaments got torn as well.
06:33So, I mean, I was lucky enough that that didn't happen to me.
06:35And my recovery was awful enough for me to never dance again.
06:39So.
06:39So, I dislocated this finger.
06:43This is fixed.
06:44But, when I did it, we fixed it in the huddle.
06:50That's not, that's not science.
06:52Yeah.
06:52Hey, we were on, like, the five-yard line.
06:54I'm, like, I got to get this touchdown.
06:56I said, Steve, Ev used to tape his hair, because he's an animal, with regular tape.
07:04So, he just taped, and the tape you tape your ankles with, and tape it.
07:08So, in the 30 seconds that we had, we took the tape out of his hair, taped my fingers, my buddy taped my fingers together, and carried on.
07:18Then, when I got to the sidelines, I was, like, oh.
07:21Drew Rosenhaus told WSVN's Josh Moser, quote, all of the torn ligaments were back into place.
07:29No nerve damage, no blood flow issues, or broken bones.
07:33That's it.
07:33His knee cartilage is fine.
07:35The goal is for him to be ready next season.
07:37There you go.
07:38He also says he'd love to stay with the Dolphins.
07:41We'd love to figure out something that works for both sides.
07:44He doesn't have any guaranteed money past this year.
07:46I think that's going to depend on what the Dolphins do this year, right?
07:49Like, I mean, I suppose.
07:51But here's the deal.
07:54Depending on how they work something out, they might be able to keep him in doing an incentive-lating contract with not $30 million.
08:08Guaranteed or $25 million guaranteed or $25 million guaranteed.
08:10And if that's acceptable, and again, I don't know, like, what can you demand, you know, coming off of this injury?
08:22I'm not sure, because keep in mind, Drew Rosenhaus' job is to let you know his players at 100%, and you're going to get the old Tyreek, even though.
08:34He's a master at it.
08:35And if anybody's going to go on, you know, McAfee and all the places and be like, he's, you know, better than ever, all that stuff.
08:44Right.
08:45So from that standpoint, it'll definitely depend on – and then here's a true sign of whether a player wants to be here or not, the negotiations.
08:59If Tyreek really wants to be here and he wants to see it through, and he has that option, right?
09:05Because, you know, before – what is it?
09:08Before June 1st.
09:09Is it June 1st?
09:10Yeah, it's someday.
09:12I'm not – yes.
09:13I think it's June 1st.
09:13He has to be cut before June 1st or that money is on the books.
09:18So maybe they'll do it early or maybe they'll do it late.
09:22Now, they'll negotiate a new contract before they release him because they don't want him out there in the open.
09:32So they won't do it until the last possible minute.
09:36So this may drag on, not because any other thing other than why would you release him early and let him go and negotiate with a bunch of teams that might end up costing you more.
