Well, we knew there would eventually be a time when Cameron Wake would no longer suit up for the the Dolphins. It’s inevitable but knowing that day would come doesn’t make it suck any less now that it’s happened.
It is incredibly rare for a guy to spend his entire career with one team. Teams are always looking ahead for younger, cheaper talent that they will be able to build around. After all, this league is a business and money talks.
I feel I speak for every Dolphins fan when I say: “Thank you Wake”. Miami gave you an opportunity and you’ve never looked back. You quickly became a household name and premiere pass rusher; giving opposing offenses something to fear each and every week.
When Wake joined the team, I was 15 and just started getting into football and rooting for the Dolphins. He instantly became my favorite player. It’s been 146 games, 360 combined tackles, and 98 sacks and every Dolphins fan is genuinely saddened at Wakes departure. Call me selfish, but I so desperately wanted Wake to break the 100-sack milestone while wearing Aqua and Orange.
Wake, thank you for every drop of blood and sweat that you’ve sacrificed for the team and the fans. You left everything on the field each and every week. We wish you continued success with Tennessee and when you’re ready to hang ’em up, hopefully you’ll come back and retire as a Dolphin.
Cam Wake is a great story. This is a class act and a baaaaaaaaaaaaad man. I only wish he got his 100th sack as a Phin, and also, wish he went to a Super Bowl contender so that he had a chance at a ring. Titans ? Nah.
Cam was a force every since he became a Phin. He did all he could to help others and was always kind to the media, showing the best face for the franchise. When the team needed a big play or sack, more than not it was Cam making a play. I am sure Mr. Brady and Giselle are toasting the fact that Cam is out of the division. He sacked Brady and hurried him countless times, when other Phins couldn’t get close enough to see the whites of Brady’s eyes. Cam Wake needs to be on the Ring of Honor one day. To think that Jeff Ireland brought this stud from Canada ! Wow. Thanks Jeff. Thanks Cam, thank you for all you did and all you stood for.
