Not so sure getting Richie back with Pouncey is the best idea.   

Correct.  I think that's the kind of culture they're trying to get away from.

It’s football.      Character Schmaracter.  

Dareus, Watkins, Seymour, others. Plenty of character we dropped to build a team that got us to the player despite their talent.

 

Character counts when you have to trust those next to you.  Pouncey is a good player though

I have been looking for any kind of official info saying the fish are releasing Pouncey, and I can't find any.  Is this just a rumor?

 

I think Miami boxed themselves in by giving Pouncey a contract too big for his value.  Same thing the Bills did with Cordy Glenn.  But we got value in exchange and the fish would be getting nothing.  This doesn't sound solid to me.

Pricey but proven...it fills a need and would let Groy be the swing OG/C they need.

With what they were saying about Martin's mom and sister, i'm not sure I want to even fathom what they would be saying about McCarron's wife and mom.

Incognito, Jerry and Pouncey admitted that they directed racially derogatory words toward him, including "Jap" and "Chinaman." At times, according to Martin, they referred to the Assistant Trainer as a "dirty communist" or a "North Korean," made demands such as "give me some water you f---g chink," spoke to him in a phony, mocking Asian accent, including asking for "rubby rubby sucky sucky," and called his mother a "rub and tug masseuse." Martin and others informed us that Incognito and Jerry taunted the Assistant Trainer with jokes about having sex with his girlfriend. Incognito admitted that these types of comments were made to the Assistant Trainer.

But is he any good? 

http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/22775721/mike-pouncey-asks-miami-dolphins-release

 

Good:    "He's a three-time Pro Bowl selection, earning the honors in three consecutive seasons from 2013-15."

 

Bad:      "Last season, Pouncey played his first 16-game season since 2012. He was coming off back-to-back seasons of major hip surgery but didn't show any effects of the injuries in 2018."

 

Yikes!:    "It was reported in the previous year that Pouncey will eventually need hip replacement surgery, so the Dolphins probably thought it was better to move on sooner rather than later."

Groy can play RG. 

 

I think Miller is going to have a really nice rebound year...in the power scheme he was quite good. PFF and others did some metrics / analytics, he was good. Last year's zone scheme was a not fit for him, but with Daboll I think he does well again. But, no doubt the Bills need to fill that turnstile at RT position!
