Posted by Devang Desai under Elvis Dumervil, Miami Dolphins on Mar 16, 2013

Cleveland Browns v Denver BroncosElvis Dumervil’s agent has told the Miami Herald his client is interested in joining the Miami Dolphins.

Dumervil, a Miami native, was released by the Broncos after a fax machine snafu resulted, that stated the pass rusher would agree to a pay cut, in the required paperwork arriving minutes after the league imposed deadline.

Marty Magid, Dumervil’s agent, told the Herald’s Barry Jackson that a handful of teams have called about Dumervil and that he will reach out to teams that will fit his client’s skill set.

Jackson reports it would be tricky, but not impossible, for the Dolphins to sign Jake Long and Dumervil while still having money left over for the draft and other free agent needs.

Keller leaves Miami without a contract

Posted by Jake Goldsbie under Dustin Keller, Miami Dolphins on Mar 13, 2013

New York Jets v Miami Dolphins

UPDATE (6:09 p.m. ET, Mar. 14): Well, this took a bit of a turn. After a signing seemed like nearly a formality, Keller is leaving Miami without a contract, although the communication will continue.

The Miami Dolphins are continuing their spending ways by being on the verge of inking free agent tight end Dustin Keller to a deal. The former New York Jet is in Miami getting a physical and, pending a pass, will talk length and finances with the team.

Keller was drafted 30th overall in the 2008 NFL Draft by the Jets and put up over 500 yards in each of his first four seasons in the league, peaking with a 65 catch, 815 yard performance in 2011. Last season, Keller was limited to eight games due to a pulled groin and high ankle sprain and finished with 317 yards and 2 touchdowns.

The Dolphins’ signings thin out already thinning markets

Posted by Sean Tomlinson under Editorial, Miami Dolphins on Mar 08, 2013

Let’s assume that Wes Welker re-signs with the Patriots, because Wes Welker not signing with the Patriots would cause an immediate zombie apocalypse. And for fun, let’s also assume that the Dolphins continue spending all of their money, as even after signing Brian Hartline late last night — as was widely expected — they still have $33 million in cap space. Thanks for that very manageable 2013 cap hit of about $3-4 million, Brian, which leaves plenty of cash to overpay for either Greg Jennings and Mike Wallace while further supporting Hartline and sophomore quarterback Ryan Tannehill.

When that happens, contracts will inflate, and we’ll all die.

Matt Moore re-signs with Miami

Posted by Devang Desai under Matt Moore, Miami Dolphins on Mar 08, 2013

Buffalo Bills v Miami Dolphins

The Miami Dolphins have re-signed backup Quarterback Matt Moore according to a tweet from Jeff Darlington. While terms of the deal weren’t disclosed, it’s assumed Moore will be one of the league’s higher paid backups. Moore’s re-signing weakens already thin Free Agent Quarterback class.

The move caps a busy couple days for the Dolphins, as they re-signed WR Brian Hartline to a 5-year, $30.77M deal late last night. GM Jeff Ireland is expected to make at least one more splash in Free Agency. Pro Football Talk’s Darin Gantt hypothesizes the Fins will look to add a big name Wide Receiver.

Moore started 12 games in 2011, throwing for 2,497 yards, 16 touchdowns and nine interceptions for a QB rating of 87.1. Last year Moore appeared in 10 games, taking to backseat to rookie Ryan Tannehill.
