General Manager Chris Grier

(What are some of the things that factored into the decision to trade RB Kenyan Drake?) – “For us, it was – We were always strong toward he wasn’t on the trading block. We weren’t looking to trade Kenyan. A report broke last week that we were trying to shop him, which we weren’t. We just kept fielding calls from people. A lot of people were calling and asking, so we got to the point where we listened. We just got to today and it just kind of made sense for us to do deal and it was the best value that we could get, so we did the trade.”

(Was part of the thinking that there may have been some talks about a contract, but it didn’t get done, so you’re thinking “Does RB Kenyan Drake want to be here long term?”) – “We’ll keep those between us. You guys know me, I don’t do it through the media. Kenyan handled himself well. He was a professional. At the end of the say we just had to do what was best for the Dolphins.”

(Are you expecting to make any other moves before the deadline Tuesday?) – “You never know. Like I said, we’re not shopping anybody. We’re getting calls like every team and then there’s teams calling us too trying to unload players as well. We’ll keep listening to people and stuff, but we’re not actively shopping anyone.”

(Would you consider yourself a buyer right now?) – “We might be, yeah. There’s some things that might tempt us. We’ve had some conversations with teams.”

(With S Reshad Jones, Dallas has expressed interest in upgrading at safety. Where do you feel Reshad Jones fits into the organization right now?) – “First of all, we’ve not gotten one call on Reshad all year, really. I think the only time we got was in February of last year and then we had the press conference where I told you guys he wasn’t going anywhere. So, we have not fielded one call on him. Reshad has been great. He’s been a complete professional. He’s crushed he’s not playing tonight. With the injury, he’s like, ‘I wish I could play.’ He’s really – he’s down.”
