Dolphins TE Michael Egnew has taken up mixed martial arts this offseason, and believes it's helped him "learn how to compete." It's a good thing Egnew is learning how to compete, because he clearly didn't know how to as a rookie. "I expect to play this year," Egnew said. "I've gotten stronger. I'm absolutely ready." Just one year removed from being the No. 78 overall pick, Egnew is buried on the depth chart. Dustin Keller is the starter, while fourth-rounder Dion Sims should be the primary blocker. Egnew's camp will be all about saving his roster spot. |
|
The South Florida Sun-Sentinel confirms Kelcie McCray is "in the mix" for the Dolphins' free safety job. McCray went undrafted in 2012 and spent his entire rookie season on injured reserve, but the Dolphins are counting on him to take a big step forward now that he's finally healthy. There isn't much in the way of other current options after Miami didn't address free safety in the draft. McCray will compete for a starting role with Chris Clemons and Jimmy Wilson in training camp. |
|
Dolphins signed fifth-round RB Mike Gillislee to a four-year, $2.322 million contract. Although Gillislee lacks special traits, he couldn't possibly be any worse than Dolphins incumbent backup and second-round flop Daniel Thomas. Gillislee fights hard for yards, has some necessary shake to him, and flashed violence in blitz pickup at Florida. With Lamar Miller having only carried the football 51 career times, Gillislee is a sleeper for rookie-year fantasy value. |
|
Dolphins signed fourth-round TE Dion Sims to a four-year contract. The 106th overall pick, Sims was primarily used as a blocker at Michigan State, but has slimmed down and is a natural pass catcher, even if he offers no explosive traits with the football in his hands. The Fins seem to believe Sims can grow into an Alge Crumpler type. He's expected to play significant snaps as a rookie behind blocking-deficient starter Dustin Keller. |
|
Dolphins claimed WR Marvin McNutt off waivers from the Eagles. A 2012 sixth-rounder, McNutt couldn't make it past final cuts before being promoted from the practice squad for four games late in the season. McNutt has 4.50 wheels to go along with a 6-foot-3, 216-pound frame, but has the makings of a career special teamer/practice squader. |

Depth Chart
Dolphins TE Michael Egnew has taken up mixed martial arts this offseason, and believes it's helped him "learn how to compete." It's a good thing Egnew is learning how to compete, because he clearly didn't know how to as a rookie. "I expect to play this year," Egnew said. "I've gotten stronger. I'm absolutely ready." Just one year removed from being the No. 78 overall pick, Egnew is buried on the depth chart. Dustin Keller is the starter, while fourth-rounder Dion Sims should be the primary blocker. Egnew's camp will be all about saving his roster spot.
The South Florida Sun-Sentinel confirms Kelcie McCray is "in the mix" for the Dolphins' free safety job. McCray went undrafted in 2012 and spent his entire rookie season on injured reserve, but the Dolphins are counting on him to take a big step forward now that he's finally healthy. There isn't much in the way of other current options after Miami didn't address free safety in the draft. McCray will compete for a starting role with Chris Clemons and Jimmy Wilson in training camp.
Dolphins signed fifth-round RB Mike Gillislee to a four-year, $2.322 million contract. Although Gillislee lacks special traits, he couldn't possibly be any worse than Dolphins incumbent backup and second-round flop Daniel Thomas. Gillislee fights hard for yards, has some necessary shake to him, and flashed violence in blitz pickup at Florida. With Lamar Miller having only carried the football 51 career times, Gillislee is a sleeper for rookie-year fantasy value.
Dolphins signed fourth-round TE Dion Sims to a four-year contract. The 106th overall pick, Sims was primarily used as a blocker at Michigan State, but has slimmed down and is a natural pass catcher, even if he offers no explosive traits with the football in his hands. The Fins seem to believe Sims can grow into an Alge Crumpler type. He's expected to play significant snaps as a rookie behind blocking-deficient starter Dustin Keller.
Dolphins claimed WR Marvin McNutt off waivers from the Eagles. A 2012 sixth-rounder, McNutt couldn't make it past final cuts before being promoted from the practice squad for four games late in the season. McNutt has 4.50 wheels to go along with a 6-foot-3, 216-pound frame, but has the makings of a career special teamer/practice squader.
Dolphins waived LS Patrick Scales. Scales was signed just last month. A 2011 undrafted free agent, Scales has never appeared in an NFL game.
Dolphins signed QB Aaron Corp to a one-year contract. A 2012 undrafted free agent out of USC and then Richmond, Corp is now with his third NFL organization. He'll compete with Pat Devlin for the No. 3 job.
New Dolphins CB Brent Grimes (Achilles) remains on pace to be ready for training camp. Grimes isn't putting a percentage on his recovery, but says he's "feeling good" and "being smart" in his rehab. Grimes will be 364 days removed from his injury when the Dolphins take on the Browns in Week 1.
Dolphins TE/FB Charles Clay (meniscus surgery) is 100 percent. "I'm good and ready to go," Clay said Tuesday. Clay should enter the season as the Dolphins' No. 2 pass-catching tight end behind Dustin Keller. Fourth-round pick Dion Sims is primarily a blocker.
Lamar Miller is aiming for 1,500 rushing yards and five yards per carry this season. "I'm trying to get bigger and faster, improve my explosiveness so I can break more tackles, make guys miss," Miller said Tuesday. "Trying to become a great back in this league." They're lofty goals, but everyone besides Daniel Thomas believes Miller will get a chance to meet them as the Dolphins' starting back. Miller has exciting talent, but the Dolphins are taking a bit of a risk by putting so many eggs in the basket of a back with just 51 career carries. Miller should be treated as an RB2 in fantasy drafts.
Daniel Thomas believes he's a legitimate contender for the Dolphins' starting running back job. Thomas must not be watching much of his own film. "I don't know why (Lamar Miller) would have the inside track," Thomas said incredulously Tuesday. "It's an open competition. Everybody has a fair shot. The best player is going to get the job. Nobody has a leg up." Thomas does admit he's been "inconsistent" since being the No. 62 overall pick of the 2011 draft. All signs suggest the Dolphins want and expect Miller to be their No. 1 back.
The Miami Herald reports the Dolphins are "privately very optimistic" about Jonathan Martin's chances of becoming a solid left tackle. That must be the case, as despite an abundance of sound and fury, the Dolphins never seriously pursued an alternative after Jake Long bolted for the Rams. Martin, for his part, is relieved to finally know his position. "It's exciting to play left tackle in the NFL - that has been a dream my whole life." Martin is "devouring four meals a day" in an effort to get up to 318 pounds after playing near 305 last season. The Dolphins' bevy of moves could be all for naught if Martin isn't up to the challenge of protecting Ryan Tannehill's blindside.
Dolphins agreed to terms with No. 250 overall pick DB Don Jones on a four-year contract. The fifth-to-last pick of the draft, Jones is expected to make the switch from safety to corner. A top-shelf athlete (4.40 40-yard dash, 42-inch vertical leap), Jones will fight for a spot on special teams, but is likely ticketed for the practice squad.
Dolphins agreed to terms with No. 166 overall pick K Caleb Sturgis on a four-year contract. The first kicker off the board in this year's draft, Sturgis should be the Dolphins' Week 1 starter barring a training camp face-plant. Teams rarely invest draft picks in kickers they don't expect to start. Dan Carpenter and his $2.7 million salary are on the way out.
Dolphins agreed to terms with No. 104 overall pick LB Jelani Jenkins on a four-year contract. A highly productive outside 'backer for Florida, Jenkins excelled in coverage. He's unlikely to see many snaps outside the Dolphins' nickel package on defense, but could compete for a starting job as early as 2014. Jenkins has the ability to be an impact special teamer as a rookie.
The Miami Herald confirms No. 3 overall pick Dion Jordan will be a defensive end with the Dolphins. Jordan played some linebacker and slot corner at Oregon, but he's going to be Miami's base 4-3 right end. While Jordan is athletic and versatile to move around the formation, he was drafted to rush the quarterback in the old Jason Taylor role. IDP owners don't have to worry about Jordan being listed as a linebacker.
Dolphins OC Mike Sherman says Ryan Tannehill will be the "most improved quarterback from year one to year two." "I promise you that," Sherman added. Tannehill studied all of his rookie snaps and pointed to his footwork as being fundamentally unsound, leading to far too many errant passes. He also needs to be better on third downs, as Tannehill's 65.3 rating was lowest among qualifying quarterbacks. The additions of Mike Wallace, Brandon Gibson, and Dustin Keller should help, but Tannehill won't be any more than a QB2 in fantasy as a sophomore.
According to Profootballtalk, league insiders "fear" the Dolphins will insist on offset language in No. 3 pick Dion Jordan's contract. The Dolphins took a similar approach with Ryan Tannehill, though he was picked five spots lower than Jordan at No. 8. Offset language only comes into play if a first-round pick is waived before the conclusion of his rookie contract. The releasing team is typically on the hook for all of the player's remaining salary, though some teams insist on language that requires the claiming team to foot the bill, thus preventing "double dipping" by the waived player. It figures to be a big point of contention in Jordan's contract talks, especially since the Dolphins traded up nine spots to get him. There's no reason he should have to agree to it. No. 5 pick Ziggy Ansah's contract includes no offset language.
Richard Marshall will battle rookie Jamar Taylor for the starting corner job opposite Brent Grimes. Marshall's roster spot won't be safe if he loses out to Taylor. He's coming off back surgery and is owed $4.55 million in base salary. However, the Dolphins may be forced to keep Marshall if Grimes can't return to form right away. He tore his Achilles' tendon in Week 1 last season.
The Palm Beach Post expects the Dolphins to bring No. 3 pick Dion Jordan along "slowly" as a rookie, using him as a third-down pass rusher only. Pass-rushing wasn't even Jordan's calling card in college, managing 14.5 sacks across three seasons. It's possible he'll play strong-side linebacker on early downs, replacing Koa Misi, and kick to end in the nickel. That's how the Broncos use Von Miller. Jordan is expected to be a high-impact defender eventually, but the Palm Beach Post suggests it won't happen right away.
The Palm Beach Post believes fourth-round TE Dion Sims may be the "linchpin of the Dolphins' draft class." Beat writer Ben Volin expects Sims to be the Dolphins' primary blocking tight end, and to potentially lead all Miami rookies in snaps. Sims was one of the draft's top blocking tight ends, so it's not a far-fetched guess. Sims won't be a major pass-catching threat behind Dustin Keller.
The Palm Beach Post thinks Dolphins LG Richie Incognito "might" have to compete with third-round rookie G/T Dallas Thomas for the left guard job. Incognito, 30 in July, has started 47-of-48 games since joining the Dolphins, and he has just one year left on his deal. Pro Football Focus graded Incognito out as its No. 14 left guard in 2012. The Dolphins can save $4.3 million against the cap by releasing him. Thomas is a natural fit for Miami's zone-blocking scheme.
Dolphins agreed to terms with RT Tyson Clabo on a one-year, $3.5 million contract with $1.5 million guaranteed. The move essentially locks in Jonathan Martin as the Dolphins' starting left tackle after an abominable rookie season. Miami is showing an awful lot of blind faith in last year's second-round pick. Clabo, going on age 32, graded out as the NFL's fifth-best right tackle in 2012, per Pro Football Focus' ratings. He was strong in both protection and run blocking, although 6-foot-6, 329-pound Clabo has always been a power blocker. He'll have to learn to zone block in Joe Philbin's scheme.
Dolphins third-round CB Will Davis "stood out" in Friday's rookie minicamp practice. The Dolphins traded up for Davis and expect him to compete for a starting job as a rookie. With Dimitri Patterson and Richard Marshall not guaranteed roster spots, both Davis and No. 54 overall pick Jamar Taylor should see extensive playing time. Davis is undersized and may be best suited for nickel duties.
Dolphins GM Jeff Ireland said No. 3 overall pick Dion Jordan could end up at linebacker. "That's what I like about him," Ireland said. "He's very versatile and he played linebacker [at Oregon] and he also rushed the passer. [When] we get our hands on him, [we will] see where the best place he'll fit. We've got a great vision for him. Part of that's going to be rushing the passer but the other part's up to [coach Joe Philbin]." Jordan will certainly rush the passer plenty, but he's so athletic that he could end up covering tight ends like Rob Gronkowski.
No. 77 overall pick OL Dallas Thomas (shoulder surgery) is expected to miss the Dolphins' entire offseason program, but could be ready for training camp. Thomas was given a 4-6 month timetable after tearing his labrum in January's Senior Bowl. It's the same injury No. 3 pick Dion Jordan is recovering from, though Jordan didn't go under the knife until February 26. Capable of playing both guard and tackle, Thomas will likely serve in a super-sub role as a rookie.
A "longtime NFC scout" considers No. 164 pick RB Mike Gillislee a career backup. Gillislee was not a special runner at Florida, but is considered NFL-ready in pass protection. That alone could make him Lamar Miller's primary backup this season. Even if Gillislee doesn't have starter's upside, "Fumbling" Daniel Thomas is on notice in Miami.
The Miami Herald reports a kidney issue played a part in CB Jamar Taylor's fall to the Dolphins at No. 54. Combine tests revealed Taylor's kidneys to be functioning at just 42 percent efficiency, and full of scar tissue. The issue was believed to be caused by high blood pressure medicine, which Taylor has taken since high school. He is expected to improve, and it doesn't appear poised to affect his career. Taylor was one of the top senior corners in the draft. He has an excellent chance at earning a starting job as a rookie.
Dolphins GM Jeff Ireland confirmed Dan Carpenter and fifth-round pick Caleb Sturgis will be in a training camp battle at kicker. Sturgis is the heavy favorite because teams don't draft kickers they're not planning to keep. Ireland anticipates a "pretty good competition in camp and we look forward to that." Carpenter went 22-of-27 on field-goal attempts in 2012.
Dolphins GM Jeff Ireland cited No. 164 pick Mike Gillislee's pass protection skills as a primary strength. It's particularly notable because pass protection is often the best avenue for rookie running backs to see the field. The Fins badly need an upgrade on Daniel Thomas behind Lamar Miller. "He can pass protect," Ireland insisted. "Kind of paid his dues there at Florida. He was a one-year starter. He catches the ball well and he pass protects. He runs it very well as well. He's tough."
The Dolphins will move seventh-round S Don Jones to cornerback. They're projecting him as a slot corner. An Arkansas State alum, 5-foot-11, 191-pound Jones ran forty times of 4.40 and 4.42 at his Pro Day, also leaping 42" vertically. He's a great athlete, but will have to pay dues on special teams.
Dolphins GM Jeff Ireland says the team envisions fourth-round LB Jelani Jenkins as a future starter. The Fins are set at linebacker with Dannell Ellerbe bookended by Koa Misi and Philip Wheeler, but Jenkins could replace Misi outside in 2014. Misi is entering a contract year. Jenkins battled injuries at UF, but was superb in pass coverage as a weak-side 'backer. He will focus on special teams as a rookie.
Dolphins selected Florida K Caleb Sturgis with the No. 166 overall pick. Sturgis is the first kicker to come off the board in the 2013 draft. He made 24-of-28 field goals as a senior last season, nailing 8-of-9 from 40-plus yards out. The Dolphins are officially putting Dan Carpenter on notice. Miami can save $2.7 million against the cap by releasing Carpenter.
Dolphins selected Florida RB Mike Gillislee with the No. 164 overall pick. Gillislee (5-11, 208) carried the Gators' passing-inept offense on his back in 2012, rushing 244 times for 1,152 yards (4.72 YPC) and 10 touchdowns. He only made 23 career receptions, but flashed a mean streak in blitz pickup. Gillislee ran 4.55 at the Combine with a 1.59 ten-yard split. He is a decisive, fluid, athletic runner with some power and shake. Gillislee's vision and decision making behind blocks are works in progress, but he has starting potential down the line. He could eventually make Daniel Thomas expendable.
Sturgis of Florida has been chosen by the Miami Dolphins in the fifth round of the NFL draft. Sturgis was the 166th overall selection, and the third Florida player taken Saturday by the Dolphins. They picked former Gators linebacker Jelani Jenkins in the fourth round, and running back Mike Gillislee in the fifth round. Sturgis made 70 of 88 field-goal attempts in his career, including 24 of 33 from 40 yards and beyond. He'll challenge incumbent Dan Carpenter, who's scheduled to make $3 million in 2013.
Gillislee of Florida has been taken by the Miami Dolphins in the fifth round of the NFL draft. Gillislee rushed for 1,152 yards and 10 touchdowns as a senior last season. He averaged 5.3 yards per carry in his career and totaled 22 touchdowns. The 208-pound Gillislee will compete for a roster spot after starter Reggie Bush departed to Detroit via free agency. Lamar Miller is expected to be Miami's starter this year.
Dolphins selected Michigan State TE Dion Sims with the No. 106 overall pick. Sims (6-foot-4 7/8, 262) caught 36 passes for 475 yards (13.2 YPR) and two TDs as a junior before turning pro. He played at over 280 pounds and focused on an in-line position, where Sims is right there with Travis Kelce as this draft's best blocking tight end. Sims ran 4.75 with a 1.60 ten-yard split and 35-inch vertical at the Combine, so he is athletic and may develop into more of a underneath receiving option in the NFL. Sims could see significant snaps as the blocking tight end, an area where Dustin Keller struggles.
Jenkins of Florida has been taken by the Miami Dolphins in the fourth round of the NFL draft. Jenkins was the 104th overall pick Saturday. He was limited to nine games last season, when he broke his thumb, battled a hamstring injury and broke his foot, which required surgery and kept him out of the Sugar Bowl.
Sims of Michigan State has been taken by the Miami Dolphins in the fourth round of the NFL draft. Sims was the 106th overall selection Saturday. The 6-foot-5, 285-pound Sims caught 36 passes for 475 yards and two scores last year, and had eight career touchdown receptions.
Dolphins traded up to select Utah State CB Will Davis with the No. 93 overall pick, sending pick Nos. 109, 146 and 224 to Green Bay. Davis (5-foot-11 1/4, 186) ranked second nationally in pass breakups (17) as a senior, picking off five and recording 4.5 tackles for loss. He ran 4.53 at the Combine with an explosive 10-foot-7 broad jump, also repping 226 pounds 16 times. Davis is small with short arms (31 1/2"), so he may be best suited to nickel back once he fully develops. The Fins are dangerously needy at cornerback, so they're doubling down with Davis after drafting Jamar Taylor.
Dolphins selected Tennessee OL Dallas Thomas with the No. 77 overall pick. Thomas (6-foot-5, 306) made 37 starts for the Vols, 25 at left tackle as a sophomore and junior, and 12 at left guard as a senior. In 2012, Thomas did not allow a single sack of Tyler Bray although he was penalty prone, getting flagged six times. Thomas has short arms (33 1/8") and is coming off surgery to repair a torn labrum in his shoulder. When healthy, he projects as a left guard or finesse right tackle. While Thomas is a long shot to start as a rookie, he'll be a quality reserve right away because he fits the zone-blocking scheme and can play multiple positions.
Dolphins selected Boise State CB Jamar Taylor with the No. 54 overall pick. Two draft picks and many millions of free-agency dollars later, the Dolphins have their Sean Smith replacement. Taylor (5-foot-10, 192) was a three-year starter for the Broncos, notching seven picks, 11 TFL and four sacks. He ran 4.39 at the Combine with a 10-foot-7 broad jump and 35-inch vertical. He excels in both off-man and press-bail coverage with speed to run with vertical receivers. Taylor consistently stays in the wideout's hip pocket. The Dolphins will hope Taylor pans out better than fellow former Broncos CB Kyle Wilson did.
Browns acquired WR Davone Bess from the Dolphins in exchange for a swap of mid-round draft picks. Bess was nothing more than a sure-handed slot receiver in Miami, catching 321 passes over five seasons but averaging just 10.7 yards per grab and scoring a mere 12 touchdowns in 77 games. It's a low-risk grab for the Browns, who have Josh Gordon and Greg Little outside but question marks inside in the form of David Nelson. Bess, still just 27, has a good chance to emerge as the Browns' primary slot man this season. He has signed a three-year extension with Cleveland, adding to the one year he had remaining on his previous deal.
NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports the Browns and Dolphins are still "haggling over mid-round picks" in the potential Davone Bess trade. Draft-week trades sometimes fall through because the acquiring team feels uncomfortable about giving up compensation for players they can't immediately put through physicals. The same goes for the potential Branden Albert trade. The Browns want Bess, but they're not going to overpay. It's worth noting Bess missed late-season 2012 time with a back injury. A physical is critical.
The Miami Herald confirms rookie RE Dion Jordan's (shoulder surgery) status is in doubt for the beginning of training camp. The Herald also reports the Dolphins' stunning trade up for Jordan wasn't agreed to until the Raiders were on the clock. "I feel like everybody in the room was shocked," owner Stephen Ross said. Coach Joe Philbin is unsure of what weight he'd like Jordan to play. He's currently at 248. "I'm not going to sit here and say that we want him to be 265," Philbin said. "We'll see. Maybe his body isn't going to function and do some of the things he can at that (weight). He may be able to."
A quick trade followed the first two picks: Miami acquired the No. 3 spot from Oakland and chose Jordan, This was a surprise move, but the Dolphins envision Jordan as the next Jason Taylor.
The Miami Herald reports the Dolphins are asking for a fourth- or fifth-round pick in exchange for Davone Bess. The Herald's Barry Jackson confirms Cleveland and Miami are "discussing draft compensation." Bess offers no big-play ability and is somewhat expensive ($2.6 million) in the last year of his contract without a role on the Dolphins, so GM Jeff Ireland isn't in great position to negotiate. We suspect Bess will wind up heading to the Browns for roughly a sixth-round draft choice.
Sources tell Draft Insider Tony Pauline there's a "99.9 percent" chance Davone Bess is traded to the Browns for "mid-round picks." If Dolphins GM Jeff Ireland could get "picks" for Bess, it'd be a huge victory. The 27-year-old doesn't have a role in Miami after the Brandon Gibson addition. In Cleveland, Bess would likely compete with David Nelson for slot duties. He has one year left on his contract. Per the Miami Herald, the Fins also called the Jets, 49ers, Cardinals, Vikings, and Rams to gauge their interest in Bess.
The Chicago Sun-Times reports the Browns are "seriously considering" a trade for Davone Bess, and are one of "several teams in the mix." Reporter Sean Jensen hears "mid-round picks (are) being discussed." The Miami Herald confirms Bess is on the block, and it would be a "surprise" if he wasn't moved. Bess' ticket out of Miami was punched the day the Dolphins randomly signed Brandon Gibson to a three-year, $9.755 million deal. A chain-mover who offers nothing after the catch, Bess is due $2.6 million this season. He could maybe fetch a fifth- or sixth-round pick. A fifth would be a big-time win for Dolphins GM Jeff Ireland.
Dolphins OT Jonathan Martin says he's gained 15 pounds this offseason, bulking up to 320. Martin was listed at 312 last season, but apparently played closer to 305. Muscling up is just one thing Martin would have to do to stick on the blindside. According to the Miami Herald, Martin has yet to be told "which side to focus on." Trade talks with the Chiefs for LT Branden Albert appear to be at a standstill.
Per the Palm Beach Post, Dolphins K Dan Carpenter's roster spot is "at risk." Carpenter, 27, made 22-of-27 field goals last season, but a couple of the missed attempts led to losses. The Dolphins are reportedly "high" on two draft-eligible kickers in Florida's Caleb Sturgis and Florida State's Dustin Hopkins. The Dolphins could save $3 million against the cap by cutting Carpenter.
Dolphins RE Jared Odrick filed a lawsuit against financial firm Success Trade over an alleged investment scam. Yahoo! Sports reported Wednesday that multiple federal agencies including the FBI, U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, and Department of Justice were probing Success Trade investments. The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) has red-flagged Success Trade for selling $18M in fraudulent and unregistered promissory notes to 58 investors, 30 of whom were pro athletes. Among the athletes who purchased Success Trade promissory notes were Browns CB Joe Haden, 49ers TE Vernon Davis, ex-Redskins RB Clinton Portis, and ex-Bears DE Adewale Ogunleye.
The Miami Herald confirms Davone Bess "could be traded" if the Dolphins acquire a slot receiver in the draft. We're not sure what the Fins think they could get for Bess, who's long been a media favorite but has never offered big-play ability. If NFL teams were seriously interested, we'd have heard trade chatter by now. There has been zero buzz. Perhaps Bess could net the Fins a seventh-round pick during the draft.
The Palm Beach Post reports Dolphins RG John Jerry reported to voluntary workouts "looking really good, almost where he needs to be" with his weight. "Apparently the light has come on," were the words of a source. It might still be too little, too late for the long out-of-shape guard after the Dolphins signed Lance Louis. Reporter Ben Volin believes Jerry's roster spot is "very much in danger." Jerry is a trade candidate heading into the final year of his rookie contract. He played more offensive snaps than any Dolphin in 2012.
Free agent WRs Legedu Naanee and Seyi Ajirotutu will try out for the Browns this week. They're participating in the Browns' voluntary workouts on a tryout basis. Both played for new Browns OC Norv Turner in San Diego. Naanee and Ajirotutu combined for just 196 snaps on offense last season, and are longshots to earn roster spots.
Dolphins DT Randy Starks will not attend any voluntary offseason activities. Starks, the Dolphins' franchise player, wants a long-term deal. So he'll work out on his own as a statement, only showing up for the mandatory minicamp. Considering Starks will turn 30 in December, the Dolphins will likely force him to play out the season on his one-year, $8.5M tender.
Dolphins DT Randy Starks was a no-show as the team convened for its offseason conditioning program on Monday. Starks signed his one-year, $8.5 million franchise tender two weeks after it was assigned in March, so he's under contract and protected with a guaranteed salary. The offseason conditioning program is voluntary, though, so Starks doesn't have to be in attendance. He should be all systems go by training camp.
The Dolphins have "high hopes" for second-year LB Josh Kaddu as a pass-rush specialist. Kaddu played only 11 defensive snaps as a rookie, but the fifth-rounder out of Oregon was praised as a practice player by coach Joe Philbin. As a strong-side 'backer in college, Kaddu registered 9.5 tackles for loss and 6.5 sacks as a senior. He'll compete for playing time with Olivier Vernon opposite Cam Wake.
Dolphins GM Jeff Ireland told reporters Thursday that CB Brent Grimes (Achilles' surgery) is far enough along that he's "close" to being a participant in the club's offseason conditioning program. Assuming Ireland's words can be taken at face value, Grimes should be all systems go before training camp. "He's doing really well," said Ireland. "He's almost to the point where he's ready to participate in the offseason conditioning program." The Dolphins are counting on Grimes to be a starter this year.
Dolphins signed LS Patrick Scales. The Palm Beach Post's Ben Volin speculates that Scales' addition could jeopardize incumbent long snapper John Denney's roster spot. Denney, 34, is owed nearly $1 million in 2013. Scales was among the Ravens' final cuts last season.
Dolphins OT Jonathan Martin performed worse on a per-snap basis at left tackle than right tackle last season. Martin allowed 15 hurries in 184 pass-blocking snaps (8.2 percent) at left tackle, compared to 32 in 404 (7.9 percent) at right tackle. Pass protection happens to be awfully important at left tackle. Martin, of course, is the favorite to protect Ryan Tannehill's blindside this year. After an offseason of reckless spending at nearly every other position, Dolphins GM Jeff Ireland is rolling the dice on one of the most important spots on the field. Tannehill's health hangs in the balance.
The Dolphins are reportedly concerned about Daniel Thomas' ability to be a physical goal-line back. After two NFL seasons, it's obvious that Thomas is not a difference-making NFL runner. He's averaged just 3.53 yards per carry, scored a mere four touchdowns, fumbled five times and missed seven games due to injury. With Lamar Miller assuming feature back duties, Thomas will simply be trying to carve out any role he can this offseason. If he can't pin down the goal-line job, it's another boost for Miller's rapidly rising fantasy stock.
Coach Joe Philbin is "excited" about third-year OT Will Yeatman. "We have a chance to really kind of sink our teeth in with him," Philbin said. "I think he might have some position flexibility. I think he's athletic enough. He might be able to go to the right side. He might be able to go to the left side. He can move." A converted tight end, Yeatman stands a realistic shot at a roster spot because the Fins' zone scheme plays to his strengths.
The Miami Herald reports that CB Dimitri Patterson's roster spot could be in jeopardy. Patterson is due $4.5 million this season and could be a candidate for release following the signing of Brent Grimes. After being claimed off waivers from the Browns in Week 16, Patterson will face competition from Richard Marshall for the Dolphins' No.2 corner job. Miami is also expected to use at least one second-day pick on a defensive back.
Dolphins signed CB Brent Grimes to a one-year, $5.5 million contract. The best remaining free agent cornerback is now off the board. Despite turning 30 later this year and coming off a torn Achilles' tendon, Grimes actually got one of the better contracts in this year's pathetic cornerback market. (To no one's surprise, the Dolphins paid above market value -- again.) The deal includes $3 million in guaranteed money. When healthy, Grimes is one of the league's better cover corners and is a much needed upgrade for a Dolphins secondary that ranked 27th against the pass in 2012.
The Palm Beach Post considers Davone Bess the Dolphins' No. 1 veteran in danger of being cut. Bess and his non-guaranteed $2.63 million salary have been squarely on the bubble since the Dolphins signed Brandon Gibson. Cutting Bess would clear $2.7 million in cap space. Beat writer Ben Volin wouldn't be "shocked" if Bess was traded before or during the draft. It's getting harder to envision Bess in a Dolphins uniform come Week 1.
The Dolphins have warned RG John Jerry not to report to OTAs out of shape. "It'll be interesting to see," coach Joe Philbin said. "The big thing we said to him when he left is we want to see how much you weigh when you come back for the offseason program." Jerry reported to 2012 training camp at nearly 400 pounds, and has always struggled with conditioning. The Dolphins ratcheted up the pressure on Jerry by signing veteran Lance Louis. Jerry could lose his starting job even if he's lost the pounds.
Dolphins signed DT Vaughn Martin, formerly of the Chargers. Martin, 27, graded out as Pro Football Focus' 33rd-rated 3-4 defensive end last year, among just 34 qualifiers. (That's second to last.) PFF considered him poor in run defense and pass rush, and Martin also committed four penalties in under 500 defensive snaps. In Miami, Martin will battle Chase Alecxih and Kheeston Randall to be the top backup behind Randy Starks and Paul Soliai.
Dolphins GM Jeff Ireland says he has a "high, high degree of excitement for" Lamar Miller and Daniel Thomas. Most, if not all, of Ireland's excitement should lie with Miller, the No. 97 overall pick in last year's draft. We already know what Thomas is, and he's a fumbling, concussion-prone, straight-ahead plodder who has averaged 3.5 YPC on 256 career carries. Miller is expected to get every chance to win the starting job this summer, and it would be a disappointment if he didn't succeed.
Dolphins agreed to terms with OG Lance Louis, formerly of the Bears, on a one-year contract. It's a strong signing for the free-spending Fins, and could indicate RG John Jerry's time in the starting lineup - or perhaps with the team - is through. Save for Brandon Moore, Louis was the top guard still on the market. Louis is recovering from a torn left ACL, but is expected to be ready for camp. With the interior line now set, Miami needs to figure out what it's going to do at tackle.
Dolphins coach Joe Philbin indicated that third-year RB Daniel Thomas will be on the spot in 2013 training camp. The 62nd pick in the 2011 draft, Thomas has looked no better than a bust through two NFL seasons. His current career YPC average stands at 3.54. Thomas must "play more consistently, eliminate the fumbles and mental errors," Philbin said. The Dolphins could afford to add to their running back stable in the draft.
Dolphins coach Joe Philbin is "excited" about second-year FS Kelcie McCray. A 2012 minicamp star, undrafted rookie McCray missed his entire first season with a broken foot. McCray goes 6-foot-2, 202 and ran 4.55 at last year's Combine. He could push Chris Clemons for Miami's free safety job this summer.
Dolphins coach Joe Philbin indicated that Davone Bess will be competing for a roster spot in training camp. Bess will have a non-guaranteed $2.63 million salary working against him as he competes with players due far less money. Philbin lumped Bess in with "10-12 receivers" the Dolphins plan to bring to camp, competing for jobs. It's quite possible Bess will be on the trade block leading up to April's draft.
The Palm Beach Post reports the Dolphins "prefer to move" Jonathan Martin to left tackle. This jibes with what we have heard for much of the offseason, especially this week after Jake Long bolted for the Rams. Martin started five games on Ryan Tannehill's blind side at the end of last season and gave up far too much pressure. In one instance he was just bulled over by 49ers OLB Aldon Smith for an easy sack. Look for the Dolphins to get serious on free agent RT Eric Winston soon if this report rings true.
Dolphins re-signed LB Austin Spitler to a one-year, $1.323 million contract. Spitler is a pure special teams player. He played just 11 snaps on defense last season. The 26-year-old has 23 career tackles in three seasons.
Free agent DT Tony McDaniel will visit the Seahawks Thursday. Despite stealing Cliff Avril and Michael Bennett already, the Seahawks continue to explore pieces for their defensive line. McDaniel, who has been a quality reserve for the Dolphins over the last four seasons, would serve the same role in Seattle. Alan Branch is a free agent that the Seahakws haven't shown interest in re-signing.
GM Jeff Ireland said OT Jonathan Martin's future position on the line remains unsettled. "We're still visiting with a couple of tackles out there," said Ireland. "To say Jonathan is going to definitely play left tackle or right tackle, that's still yet to be determined. I'm comfortable with him playing either position." Martin started the final five games of last season at left tackle. According to Pro Football Focus, he gave up 17 hurries and two sacks in those contests.
Dolphins coach Joe Philbin says TE Michael Egnew will have to improve his "play speed" to have any chance of getting on the field in 2013. "Get off the ball quicker, get a better release off the line of scrimmage, get down field quicker," Philbin said. "Just speed it up." Philbin's comments are an indictment of a player GM Jeff Ireland has continued to stand behind. The 2012 third-round pick's roster spot will be very much up in the air heading into training camp.
Dolphins re-signed exclusive rights free agent CB R.J. Stanford. Stanford will make $630,000 after appearing in all 16 games last season, registering 21 tackles. He played 147 snaps on defense.
Dolphins signed franchise player DT Randy Starks to a one-year, $8.5 million contract. The sides now have until July 15 to work out a long-term agreement. Starks was a key player along the Dolphins' stout defensive line last season, but going on 30, he'll likely be allowed to play under his one-year tender. An extension could become more realistic if the Dolphins decide they need to clear more 2013 cap space.
Dolphins re-signed exclusive rights free agent QB Pat Devlin. Devlin can either accept the offer or retire from football. With Matt Moore back in the fold, Devlin will be third on the depth chart if the Dolphins decide to carry three QBs. The former UDFA has never attempted a regular-season pass.
The Miami Herald reports free agent DT Tony McDaniel won't re-sign with the Dolphins. McDaniel was a valuable reserve in 2009-10, but struggled to stay healthy the past two seasons. He limped through knee and ankle issues in 2012, and notched just 11 tackles and 0.5 sacks in 11 games. An eight-year veteran, McDaniel should get a camp invite, but no guaranteed money.
Garner has re-signed with the Miami Dolphins. The signing announced Tuesday comes barely 24 hours after tackle Jake Long, the overall No. 1 draft pick in 2008, left a hole in the line by signing with the St. Louis Rams. Garner started four games last year. The 6-foot-7, 325-pound Garner is entering his sixth NFL season. He has played at all five positions on the line, with five starts at left guard, four at right tackle and four at right guard. Garner originally was a seventh-round draft choice of the New York Jets in 2008.
Dolphins re-signed G/T Nate Garner. Although Garner made four starts at right tackle last year, he's not back to fill Jake Long's shoes by himself. He's a utility lineman capable of playing four positions and acting as quality depth. Both tackle spots remain a concern for the Dolphins as they ask right tackle Jonathan Martin to move to Ryan Tannehill's blind side.
The Dolphins are "finalizing" a deal with free agent G/T Nate Garner. Garner would be returning as insurance for a team that just lost Jake Long. Garner acquitted himself well in four starts at right tackle last season, but he'd almost certainly be coming back as a swing tackle, not a starter.
CBS Sports' Jason La Canfora passes along "buzz among GMs" that free agent Jake Long is likely to re-sign with the Dolphins. Perhaps Long was using the Rams as a leverage ploy all along, though La Canfora concedes St. Louis is "still in the hunt." SI's Peter King predicted that we'll have an answer on Long's 2013 whereabouts by tonight or early Monday. Once Long picks a destination, look for Andre Smith and Sebastian Vollmer to sign deals shortly thereafter. All three tackles are repped by the same agency (CAA).
Rams GM Les Snead indicated Sunday evening that the club remains optimistic about its chances of landing free agent Jake Long. "We're still chatting," said Snead, adding that Long's "health is not a problem" after he passed a battery of physical exams in St. Louis. Obviously, money is going to determine where Long lands. He will sign with the highest bidder.
According to the Miami Herald's Armando Salguero, Davone Bess' roster spot isn't in immediate danger. Per Salguero, the Dolphins' current plan is to let Bess duke it out with Brandon Gibson for No. 3 receiver duties in camp. They're redundant talents, and Miami isn't going to cut Gibson, so it still seems more likely than not Bess is somewhere else come Week 1.
Free agent LT Jake Long didn't meet with Dolphins brass on Saturday. Apparently, they were all already in Arizona for the owner's meetings. All has been mysteriously quiet on the Long front since he left St. Louis on Friday, suggesting either he can't get anyone to up their offers, or a quiet bidding war has ensued. We'd guess the former. Per reporter Armando Salguero, the ball is in Long's court.
The Palm Beach Post reports that Marcus Thigpen could take over the "Reggie Bush role" in the Dolphins' offense in 2013. Not in the essence that Thigpen will start or play heavy snaps, but beat writer Ben Volin expects him to line up in the slot and act as a scatback on third downs. Thigpen handled return duties for Miami last season, but he played just 33 snaps on offense. We'd be surprised if he played a big offensive role.
The Palm Beach Post reports that "momentum appears to be growing" for free agent left tackle Jake Long to re-sign with the Dolphins. CBS Sports' Jason La Canfora adds that Long has been at the Dolphins' facility since he flew back to Miami on Friday night. The Dolphins are reportedly "making a charge" to sign Long, but the money isn't expected to be close to what he wants -- $10 million annually. Long's offensive line teammates are campaigning for a return, but in the end money talks. $8 million annually might be the best he gets.
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports free agent LT Jake Long "checked out fine" in his Rams physical, and there were "no red flags." The sides' inability to strike a deal is all about money. The Rams' offer surely takes into account Long's injury history, but there are no current worries. While his departure from St. Louis was obviously a good sign for the Dolphins' chances of re-signing Long, there haven't been any rumblings he's on the verge of re-upping with Miami. That could change in a hurry over the weekend.
The Miami Herald considers Davone Bess' roster spot "at risk" after the additions of Mike Wallace and Brandon Gibson. We haven't seen Gibson's contract terms yet, but Bess is looking like a No. 4 receiver and his $2.63 million base salary is pricey for one of those. It's worth noting that Dolphins coach Joe Philbin often used four receivers as offensive coordinator in Green Bay. It's not out of the question that Miami keeps all four of Wallace, Brian Hartline, Gibson, and Bess on the 53-man roster.
The Miami Herald reports Davone Bess' status with the Dolphins remains "unchanged" despite Friday's signing of Brandon Gibson. Chain movers who offer little after the catch, Bess and Gibson are redundant talents, but the Dolphins are sitting tight for the time being. Due $2.633 million in the final year of his contract, Bess might draw mild interest as a trade candidate.
Dolphins agreed to terms with WR Brandon Gibson, formerly of the Rams, to a three-year contract. The Jets' top free-agent target is taking his talents to South Beach. Gibson, 25, is the latest mediocre talent to join GM Jeff Ireland's burgeoning "Dream Team," and should be slotted into his ideal role of No. 3 receiver behind Mike Wallace and Brian Hartline. Gibson can move the chains and is a threat in the red zone, but offers nothing after the catch and is prone to mental mistakes. His 108 yards after the catch were an absurd 167th in the NFL last season. With just one 100-yard game in 54 career contests, Gibson won't be a major threat for fantasy value as the fourth or fifth option in Miami's pass game. Davone Bess may be done in Miami.
The Miami Herald reports the Dolphins are "very encouraged" by free agent LT Jake Long leaving St. Louis without a contract. Per a league source, however, Long is drawing interest from multiple teams, and is "willing to explore those interests." Long's future appears to be 50-50 between Miami and a non-South Beach locale. The Rams could still very easily sweeten their offer and seal a deal both sides seem eager for.
USA Today confirms the Dolphins are "mounting a charge" to re-sign free agent LT Jake Long. Per a source "informed of the negotiations," the Dolphins have talked to Long on Friday, and are "trying to bridge the gap they've had in previous negotiations." The Rams' offer clearly isn't yet to Long's liking, so the Dolphins should have a legit chance to keep their blindside protector. Long's play has slipped in recent years, but he's still a far better option than Jonathan Martin.
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports free agent LT Jake Long is ready to leave St. Louis without a deal Friday, and that "multiple teams" are showing interest. Long spent three days in St. Louis, but it's obviously not a good sign for the Rams that he's leaving without having signed on the dotted line. Miami is believed to be his other serious suitor, but it sounds like are other teams are ready to get in the mix. With a host of fallback options having come off the market during Long's marathon visit, the Rams may have cost themselves their best chance at upgrading Sam Bradford's blindside situation.
The Rams and Dolphins are both still negotiating with free agent LT Jake Long, but Long has yet to leave St. Louis. Both teams want Long at "their price," and the protracted talks suggest St. Louis' price may not be big enough to lure Long away from South Beach. We should get a resolution before sundown.
Dolphins agreed to terms with TE Dustin Keller, formerly of the Jets, on a one-year, $4.25 million contract. The Jets' latest defector will remain in the AFC East. The sides had been near an agreement for 48 hours, but Keller was holding out for a multi-year deal. He didn't get it, and now finds himself a part of a brazenly "all in" Dolphins squad for 2013. Keller represents a major upgrade for a team that's lacked explosiveness at tight end in recent years, but is coming off a down campaign. Thanks to injuries and Mark Sanchez, Keller was limited to 28 catches for 317 yards and two touchdowns in eight 2012 games. A seam stretcher and a red-zone threat when healthy, Keller should find himself on the low-end TE1 radar with Ryan Tannehill.
