The Dolphins have signed 26-year old WR/KR Tab Perry.  Perry played in 2 games last season for the Bengals and he caught 1 pass for 7 yards and he carried the ball 1 time for 9 yards.  Perry also returned 7 kickoffs for 145 yards (20.7 avg) last season for the Bengals.  Perry has now played in 20 games in his NFL career and he has caught 10 passes for 109 yards with a TD grab.  He also has carried the ball 6 times for 22 yards (3.7 ypc) with a TD run.  Perry’s best skill to date in the NFL is returning kickoffs.  He has returned 75 kickoffs in his NFL career for 1,776 yards (23.7 avg).  This was a nice depth signing for the Dolphins who need help everywhere.

Bill Parcells continued his raid on his old Cowboys team with the signing of CB Nathan Jones.  Jones played in 15 games with the Cowboys last season and he made 23 tackles, had 1 sack and forced a fumble.  Jones has now played in 51 games in his NFL career and he has made 97 tackles, defensed 2 passes, has 2 sacks and he has forced a fumble.  Jones will likely play on most of the special teams and in the defense’s nickel and dime packages.

The Dolphins have signed 29-year old safety Keith Davis.  Davis played in 14 games last season for the Cowboys and he made 18 tackles, defensed 2 passes and forced a fumble.  Davis has now played in 68 games in his NFL career and he has made 134 tackles, defensed 5 passes and forced 3 fumbles.  This is Bill Parcells signing a player that he knows from his Dallas days and giving him a big chance to earn a job, possibly as a starter.

The Dolphins have signed kicker Dave Rayner to a 1-year contract.  He will have a hard time making the team as the Dolphins are committed to Jay Feely at place kicker.  The 25-year old Rayner played in 11 games last season for the Chiefs & Chargers.  He made 15 of 22 field goals (68.2%) and he converted all 14 of his extra points to finish with 59 points scored.  Rayner has now played in 41 games in his NFL career and he has made 41 of 58 field goals (70.7%) and 45 of 46 extra points. 

The Dolphins have signed 26-year old fullback Boomer Grigsby.  Grigsby is a converted linebacker who played fullback for the first time last season.  He caught 2 passes for 14 yards for the Chiefs but he didn’t get any carries.  In 44 games in his NFL career Grigsby has made 35 tackles.  Ths position change will help Grigsby’s NFL career.

The Dolphins have signed 26-year old linebacker Charlie Anderson.  Anderson played in 16 games for the Texans last season and he made 31 tackles, defensed 1 pass and sacked the QB twice.  Anderson has now played in 60 games in his NFL career and he has made 78 tackles, defensed 4 passes and has 3 sacks.  Anderson has a lot of potential and the Fins will likely give him a chance to battle for a starting job.  If nothing else Anderson will provide depth and help out on special teams.

The Dolphins have signed QB Josh McCown to a 2-year, $6.25 million dollar contract.  McCown is a big guy at 6’4″, 213 pounds who is a dropback passer who can run when he needs to.  He will likely not have much of a problem beating out 2nd year man John Beck for the starting job this season.  McCown played in 9 games last season for the Raiders and he completed 111 of 190 passes (58.4%) for 1,151 yards with 10 TD passes and 11 interceptions (69.4 QB Rating).  He also carried the ball 29 times for 143 yards (4.9 ypc).  McCown has now played in 46 games in his NFL career and he has completed 609 of 1,052 passes (57.9%) for 6,582 yards with 35 TD passes and 40 interceptions (71.6 QB Rating).  He has also carried the ball 123 times for 572 yards (4.7 ypc) with 3 TD runs.  McCown was one of the better free agent options in a weak QB crop so the Dolphins did a smart thing by locking him up quickly.
