Dolphins Among Teams Interested In LB Dont’a Hightower

[BlueFin]

Jeff Howe of the Boston Herald reports that the Dolphins are among the teams that are interested in free agent LB Dont’a Hightower.

Hightower, 26, is a former first-round pick of the Patriots back in 2012. He’s played out his rookie contract before the Patriots picked up his fifth-year option last year.

In 2016, Hightower appeared in 13 games for the Patriots and recorded 65 tackles, 2.5 sacks, a forced fumble, two pass defenses and a safety. Pro Football Focus has him rated as the No. 13 linebacker out of 87 qualifying players.

My Dont'a Hightower to the Dolphins pipe dream is going to end around 4 p.m. today. Actually already ended. Sad!

Again, these are "terms". Have the first example of that with Calais Campbell spunning the Jags with DEN for the time being.

Brown's are a money grab, Titans are good and in an easier division but Miami is already a playoff team with an offense that can score and win games I like the Fins as an option more than others but I have no idea about his motivation just so long as he isn't back in the Pats

Dolphins rumored to be in Dont’a Hightower sweepstakes

This is where free agency gets fun. Are the Miami Dolphins interested in a player? Are they actually in the chase? Are they being leaked as a way to drive up the price from another team? No one actually knows until pen hits paper, and sometimes not even then. This could be the case in the idea of the Dolphins being interested in New England Patriots linebacker Dont’a Hightower.

I read Hightower re signed with pats but that might have been a rumor. Been pretty quiet on the Hightower front. Wonder what's going on and if we are still in play?

I thought I heard Hightower re-signed with NE, but I guess not.

I just saw at 6:35 Arizona time the pats are finalizing Donte's deal.

Another one bites the dust.
