Derrius Thompson signs deal with Dolphins!

Looks like the Dolphins have found a new #2 wideout to replace Oronde Gadsden.  I think it is a good move for the team.  He is a quintessential #2 and an improvement over what they had.  I think this probably spells the end of the road for Gadsden in Miami and bumps Chambers's value up a bit as Thompson should be a good compliment to him.  Here is the lowdown straight off "the Gridiron Newsstand":

What do you guys think of the move and its ramifications, good or bad, on the team as well as on specific players?

Since I live in DC, I got to watch Thompson last year.  Very solid player.  No one could figure out why Spurrier did not use him more.  He would have a great game and then Spurrier wouldn't even play him tghe next week.  
 
I truly do think he will be a great fit down there.  I am curious if he will step up to the #2 position on a regular basis or would be a better #3.

Good acquistion for the Dolphins but probably a step back fantasy wise for Derrius.   Gotta thing Spurrier will throw the ball more than the fins.  I think it helps Chambers a little as well as Fiedler.

This was a good signing with Miami although it should be noted that Gadsden may still be back in Miami next year but he will have to lower his asking price of a $1.8 million signing bonus.
 
Miami recently offered him the NFL minimum of $525K I believe which is a slap in his face but I also think he shouldn't have sat out a good part of last year with his injury. Had he played Miami would have given him the money he is looking for.
