The Facts:
According to Izzy Gould of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, owner Stephen Ross actually called a disgruntled fan to explain the franchise's haphazard offseason. The big news is that Ross told 20-year season-ticket holder Jason Lawrence that the team would have cut Marshall
if a trade to the Bears hadn't been arranged.

"[Ross] said they had been shopping [Marshall] for a couple weeks," Lawrence told Gould. "Nobody would return their phone calls about getting him. If Chicago didn't take [Marshall]. ... They would have ended up cutting him very shortly after that, and got nothing." Ross also told Lawrence that the Dolphins could have had quarterback Matt Flynn if they really wanted him, and that quarterback Tim Tebow didn't fit the team's offense. As to the other QBs linked to Miami this offseason, Ross said that Peyton Manning "wasn't comfortable" with the Dolphins, and that the team didn't want to pay Alex Smith $8 million per year in the event that Matt Moore won the starting job.
