The Dolphins remain open to dealing Mike Wallace, according to league sources.

The Dolphins, who according to sources entertained the possibility of dealing receiver Mike Wallace and other prominent players back at the combine, have continued in that vein at the just concluded league meetings.

Miami spoke with teams about Wallace, according to sources, and while the finances of a deal would be tricky given Wallace's hefty contract, signed just last year, teams are doing homework on Wallace.

With the Eagles willing to release receiver DeSean Jackson if they cannot trade him, some wonder if the Philadelphia and Miami might end up possible trade partners. Wallace clashed with members of the coaching staff last year, while the Eagles are prepared to move on without Jackson, despite him having a career year in 2013

Jaguars hope Toby Gerhart can be their bell-cow RB



On Monday, Jaguars head coach Gus Bradley said he's got a fever. And the only prescription is more bell cow.OK, he didn't say that, but he did express a wish that you hear out of many head coaches at this time of year, that their lead running back can truly be a lead running back. When Bradley was asked by NFL.com's Marc Sessler if he believes Toby Gerhart would be his bell-cow running back, Bradley responded, "That's what we hope to see. ... We like what we saw on tape."



This follows what Bradley said a couple of weeks ago about Gerhart, that he could take on 15-20 touches per week. This shouldn't come as a surprise. The Jags gave Gerhart a $10.5 million contract with $4.5 guaranteed. They want to get as much as they can out of that investment. I believe it to be an unwise investment since Gerhart isn't a player who projects to be overly successful with a heavy workload. He can do a number of things well, but his lack of speed and agility makes suits him more for a backup role.But hey, it's not my team. And in fantasy, workload is a major component of a running back's value. If the Jags give Toby 15 carries per game, he may not turn those into a ton of yards, but he could be a high source of touchdowns. He's a low-end RB2.
