What Dolphins want for Beck

The Dolphins continue to shop John Beck and indicated they would like a fourth-round pick in return but are unlikely to get that, an NFC executive said this week. ''I could see them getting a late-round pick, maybe conditional,'' a second NFC executive said. ''Last year was a disaster and he [turns] 27'' on Thursday. As perspective, one official noted Cleveland received a sixth-rounder last September from Seattle for former starter Charlie Frye, the 67th pick of the 2005 draft. Beck was drafted 40th in 2007.

Good luck with that! I don't think that the Bears would give a seventh rounder for him and they are desperate for a QB!

As badly as we need a backup QB, I doubt JJ would give up a 4th for him, at least I hope not!

Who is the backup in Dallas anyway? LOL!

The Dolphins may have to settle for 'a bushel and a peck and a hug around the neck.' Doesn't look as though anyone would want to give up what they are asking for.

I have a couple of old hockey sticks and some extra pots and pans.
Does he do windows?

4th round? No. Maybe a 6th or 7th round pick.

Does anyone need an unproven guy as a backup? Maybe Minnasota, but they are better off with Simms or who ever the Pats release than paying for Beck.

The poor guy can't even win the starting job on the Dolphins!
I've decided to be magnanimous and up my offer. I will throw in a bag of pucks and two rolls of tape. I will also drop the house cleaning requirements.
What can I say, I'm a nice guy.

unproven qbs in the nfl don't have much value. beck might be worth a 4th rounder someday, but nobody knows if he is worth that today.

who is going to give up something for a QB that even the lowly fins don't want....if the worst team in the league is trying to get rid of you, why would a better team take you?

Same reason why the Patriots wanted Corey Dillon.

Maybeif the Dolphins offered to give a 4th runder WITH Beck they could get somebody to take him off their hands.

you people are jumping under the gun. Hes played with one of the worse O-lines last year u cant be a good QB without a good one, IF he had a good one he prolly be good .

thanks cam cameron ...nice draft 2 yrs ago....geez

Legacy - great analysis. So the Dolphins added Jake Long, the #1 offensive lineman in the draft, and what have all of their quarterbacks done in practice and in preseason? Shown some of the worst football known to man.

Beck is a #3 guy. He's a holder for FGs. Let it go, man.
