The Dolphins have signed 34-year old guard Randy Thomas. Thomas played in 2 games for the Redskins last season and he started both of them. He has now played in 143 games (all starts) in his 11 years in the NFL. The Dolphins needed some depth when Nate Garner went down and Thomas is more than capable of filling in while he is out of action.
UPDATE: (8/25/2010) - The Dolphins have released Thomas.
The Dolphins have signed 31-year old DE Charles Grant to a 2-year deal. Grant played in 16 games for the Saints last season and he had 41 tackles, 5.5 sacks, 2 tackles for a loss, 1 forced fumble and 2 passes defensed. He has now played in 118 games in his NFL career and he has 424 tackles, 31 passes defensed, 47 sacks, 16 forced fumbles and 1 interception. This was a solid signing for the Dolphins this late in the game.
The Dolphins have signed 28-year old DT Montavious Stanley to a 1-year deal. Stanley played in 15 games for the Jaguars last season and he had 20 tackles, 1 sack and he defensed 3 passes. Stanley has now played in 32 games in his NFL career and he has 54 tackles, 1.5 sacks, he’s defensed 3 passes and he has 1 forced fumble. Stanley will help the Dolphins depth wise on the interior of the D-Line in 2010 if he makes the team.
The Dolphins have signed 33-year old DE Marques Douglas to a 2-year, $2.5 million dollar contract. Douglas played in 16 games (12 starts) for the Jets last season and he had 64 tackles, 1.5 sacks and he forced 1 fumble. He has now played in 120 games (91 starts) in his NFL career and he has 435 tackles, 20.5 sacks, he defensed 10 passes and he forced 7 fumbles. This was a much needed addition for the Dolphins after the recent loss of Phillip Merling.
The Dolphins have signed 27-year old G/C Cory Procter. Procter played under coach Sparano with the Dallas Cowboys so the Fins got a player that he likes. Procter is 6′4″, 311 pounds and he can handle either guard or center. He played in 12 games (0 starts) for the Cowboys last season. He has played in 44 games (13 starts) in his eight years in the NFL. I like this signing for the Dolphins as Procter should give them solid depth at the interior positions.
