Dolphins defensive end Kevin Carter helped the Dolphins create $1.125 million in salary cap room when he restructured his contract, agent Harold Lewis said.
Carter agreed to convert $1.5 million of roster bonus into signing bonus. That amount was then prorated over the final four years of Carter's deal to open the cap space.


• Running back Travis Minor re-signed with the Dolphins for a one-year deal.
• Offensive tackle Stockar McDougle agreed to a two-year deal with Jacksonville.
• The Dolphins contacted the agent for free agent quarterback Tommy Maddox, who could take the backup role if Gus Frerotte doesn't re-sign.
• Backup wide receiver and special teams ace Bryan Gilmore signed with San Francisco.
• Running back Sammy Morris, an unrestricted free agent who was with the Dolphins the past two years, visited Seattle on Tuesday.
• Wide receiver David Givens and center Kevin Mawae, who had visited the Dolphins, both signed with Tennessee. Givens received


The Dolphins had free safety Chris Hope in for a visit Tuesday, and he is expected to be with the team today.
Hope was the starter with Pittsburgh last season and helped the Steelers win the Super Bowl. The former Florida State standout, who has played four NFL seasons, had three interceptions last season.

Hope would be a great addition to the secondary.

He's a solid defensive player who won't give up the big play.
 
PhinPhan, you really feel that putting Gus's interim rating in your sig proves anything, when we saw the consistent inconsistency of him all season? And please define "great Oline", because those monsters were good enough for the 19th-best yards-per-carry in the NFL last year. Culpepper also didn't have "Cris" Carter for the last four years, and Randy Moss was the 20th or 42nd best receiver in the league last year, depending on if you want to go with yards or receptions.
 
I like that we resigned Minor, not happy that Gilmore signed with the 49ers though.

He knew our system well, never heard of any locker room disputes between him or anyone in the organisation and he was a ST demon. I think ST's is really underrated, hopefully Andre Goodman can fill his role.

Should I keep the crow in the fridge while we wait and see if Culpepper is overrated?
 
i dont get it, Saban loves his picks, yet he traded away our 6th for a no-name QB, and trades our 2nd for Culpepper (not bad tho). On top of that, we gotta sign Culpepper to a deal, chances are he will want big bucks. So who do we draft with out 1st pick??

-Definetely not a QB, i dont see us drafting a QB for another 4-5 years, we will probably sign a cheap veteran.
-Definetely not an RB, WR, TE. We are good at those positions.
-Definetely not an LT, RT, RG. We got those filled.
-Defintely not DE or OLB.

Its odd, id actually like to draft a top Center with our 16th pick if Michael Huff isnt available. Then again if we sign Chris Hope, we wont need Huff. I really doubt we'll draft a CB, cuz we have a huge depth of them (Poole, Daniels, Jackson, Mitchell, Thomas, Goodman). And i dont see us taking an ILB cuz we have Zach...if we get Adams, then forget a DT. So either Max Jean Gilles to fill LG, or the top recruit at Center. Idk, this draft will be odd. i can wait to see what Saban will do
 
We don't have to sign Culpepper to any deal. He's already under contract.
 
I like the possibility of trading down and getting some extra 1st day picks....theres gotta be some teams in the lower part of Rd 1 that would love the #16 pick. Maybe someone that is looking at LenDale White?

This years 1st round is gonna be loaded with trades, IMO.
 
if we sign Jeff Faine, from Cleveland (C)....we wont need to draft a Center. if we sign Chris Hope and Tank Williams, we wont need to draft a S. Even if we just get Hope, we still have Yeremiah Bell, then we can cut Schulters. imagine we do sign Arrington, no need to draft an OLB...even with Hodge, he is starting material...but we could upgrade.
