I bet he can have a better party in MIA than he did in BAL.

But BAL acquiring Monroe opened the door for his departure.

shalise manza young ? @shalisemyoung
would guess there's more strip clubs per capita in Miami than Balt/DC...McKinnie will be in heaven (Dolphins might want to be nervous tho)

Who here expected to find out that sometimes Patsfans poster SMY was an expert on strip clubs?

I wonder if McKinnie can prevent any possible strip sacks that might come Tannehill's way.

So basically Baltimore traded McKinnie for Eugene Monroe, while the Dolphins could have signed McKinnie as a free agent last spring, and now have to give up a draft pick to get him.

Sounds to me like a win for Ozzie Newsome and the Ravens, while Jeff Ireland and the Dolphins are left with Plan B (or C).


Report: Miami Dolphins trade for Baltimore Ravens' Bryant McKinnie - Sun Sentinel

The Miami Dolphins were clearly running out of options when it came to fixing the struggling offensive line, so General Manager Jeff Ireland went the trade route.

The Dolphins (3-3) have acquired former University of Miami standout Bryant McKinnie from the Baltimore Ravens.

McKinnie, 34, was recently replaced as the Ravens starting left tackle by Eugene Monroe, who the Ravens traded to acquire from the Jacksonville Jaguars two weeks ago.

So far this season McKinnie has allowed one sack, four quarterback hits and 15 hurries. However, he's been a liability from the run blocking standpoint.

The Dolphins explored signing McKinnie as a free agent this offseason, but opted to go another avenue, signing Tyson Clabo and Lance Louis in free agency, and drafting Dallas Thomas in the third-round of the 2013 draft.

None of those players have panned out, which explains why the Dolphins are ranked 31st in sacks allowed per pass play.

At this point it is uncertain if Miami will use McKinnie at right or left tackle. Jonathan Martin, the team's 2012 second-round pick, is presently manning the left tackle spot. However, Martin played right tackle for the first 12 games of the 2012 season.​
