I think it may be to late for that already.

I hope 2 years is all, at this point 5 might not be long enough. They have Ronnie Brown and an old defense that has to be re-worked starting this off-season. A young QB in Beck that they have no idea if he will ever be starter material. O-line has improved but still not very good. Wait and see I guess.

We could of used him. God damn it, Angelo!!!

Good move for all teams, we get a WR we really needed, especially since Parker wasn't healthy yet (now IRed) and Davis was banged up. No way could we just rely on Jackson at receiver.

Dolphins get at worse a top 64 pick where there's plenty of young talent they could grab.

Chambers gets out of Miami to a team that has a shot at making the playoffs.

We might of overpaid a little but we had no 3rd or 4th picks and there's no way the Dolphins would take a 5th or lower pick for him. We really needed a quality receiver and he isn't too old, it's better than the McCardell trade we did a few years ago.

We'll get a comp pick from losing Donnie so that'll either be a 3rd or a 4th. Which should be enough to fill up any holes we have during the draft.

sad to see Parker go to IR but we get a player that can explode. Remember he killed us in '05.

Good news for Chargers, right in time.
He'll liberate spaces for Gates and LT in the 10s.
Great playmaker

I'd guess that the injury to Eric Parker which has meant that he went to IR sent them looking around the league for a WR to help them and when Chambers was available for the right price, he gave them veteran leadership (which is missing from the Chargers WR's) and a potential upgrade, thus they couldn't say no to the cost.
