I think Tim Tebow would be a good fit for the Dolphins type of offense. It'd be a win-win for both teams. Broncos get a draft pick or player and rid themselves of the distraction and Dolphins get a Florida loved QB that could be exciting for them.
Then again, maybe Packers trade Matt Flynn for a LB ... which makes me ask, what do the Dolphins have that's worthy of trading for? I know they have a fairly decent secondary so maybe a Safety?

I think Tebow would of been prefect in the Dolphins old system... but they got a new system this off-season and to be honest I don't know too much about it. But they could probably get mega jersey selling money. (or course all the broncos who brought their tebow jerseys will be POed)
To be honest I'm not sure if Flynn trade value is high as most Packers fans think it is. And I think their back-up Matt Moore is under rated. Yeah he sucked last year but his OL was down right horrible getting him killed.... he did well before last year with the horrible OL.
Also I'm not sure if the Dolphins have anything useful to trade us unless they're willing to trade some important spot or player.
Their back-up C Ryan Cook who in 70 games with the Vikings started 40 of them over 5 years. He might upgrade Center D-Smith.
A fast back-up S in Chris Clemons but fast doesn't mean good. Also Pat Lee doesn't seems to be making it up CB... he's big and a willing hitter... so why not try to move him to the 3rd/4th Safety spot... he should know the system calls... even though it's a new position?
I find CB Nolan Carroll interesting but I think he's their nickel guy so I'm not sure they'd trade him.
3rd string OLB (with DL size... 6-5 290) is Ikaika Alama-Francis... whose father (Joseph "Joe" Francis) played back-up to Bart Star for two seasons. Played DL for the Lions in 19 games and started for two of them... sounds like he came to the Dolphins as a DL guy but they felt he was a better fit at LB than 3-4 DE.
They got some interesting guys at 3-4 DE. Randy Starks and Kendall Langford are listed as the starters but the back-ups have bigger name value. Tony McDaniel, Phillip Merling, Jared Odrick, Igor Olshansky.
But McDaniel and Merling have had charges for aggravated battery against females. (pregnant female for Merling). I'm not sold on Odrick hype... and that he's physical enough for the inside of NFL lines and he's listed a 3rd string. Igor has been said to be super strong... but sounded like at the end of his run with the Chargers they weren't interested in resigning him, Cowboys didn't finish their deal with him... and now he's with the Dolphins.
