If Jim Harbaugh is the biggest coaching move of the 2015 offseason, a potential transfer by Ohio State QB Braxton Miller would easily be the biggest player move. And if it happens, Arizona Cardinals DT Darnell Dockett wants Miller at Florida State.
Dockett tweeted towards Miller, who missed 2014 with a shoulder injury, on Wednesday.
@BraxtonMiller5 FSU or nah? Come on over bro, it's cold in ohio, hit my DM I'll make sure U good! We need U!

If he graduates from Ohio State this year, Miller could transfer to another program and play immediately via the graduate transfer rule. While Ohio State coach Urban Meyer has said he expects Miller back with the Buckeyes in 2015 and Miller himself has not given indications of transferring, changing schools is seen as a strong possibility given the glut of quarterbacks Ohio State has with Cardale Jones and the way J.T. Barrett played before his ankle injury.
Florida State, of course, doesn't have a starting quarterback set for 2015 now that Jameis Winston is leaving for the NFL draft. Miller would be a fit there if he chose to transfer. But given how good of a quarterback he's been in his career, he'd be a fit at a lot of places.
We'll know much more about the answer of the "transfer or not-to-transfer?" question in the coming weeks.
