The Miami Dolphins continue tinkering with the training camp roster, signing former Florida International cornerback Anthony Gaitor on Wednesday according to a league source.

Gaitor, a former Miami Northwestern standout, spent the past three seasons with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, where he primarily served as a nickel cornerback.

Nickel happens to be one of the Dolphins' weak spots considering Jimmy Wilson, the backup free safety, is the only experienced non-starter who can man the spot. Cortland Finnegan has experience playing the nickel spot, but he's presently slotted as the starting cornerback opposite Brent Grimes.

During Tuesday's OTA session, which was open to the media, Wilson was the only player manning the nickel spot.

Gaitor, a seventh-round pick in the 2011 draft, tallied 197 total tackles, including 19 for loss, four sacks, 11 interceptions (three which he returned for touchdowns), and broke up 35 passes during his career at FIU.

He played in 12 games with the Buccaneers in 2011 and 2012, starting two games in 2012. But Gaitor missed all of last season with a knee injury.

9 a.m. update: According to a close associate, the Dolphins are signing former Buccaneers cornerback Anthony Gaitor, an FIU grad who has played in 12 NFL games. Gaitor played in eight games for Tampa in 2011, four in 2012 (with two starts) but missed all of last season with a knee injury. He has 12 career tackles.

A former seventh-round pick in 2011, Gaitor played with Marcus Forston, Sean Spence, Jacory Harris and others at Miami Northwestern. He has experience covering slot receivers.

Dolphins sign Anthony Gaitor

Former Tamba Bay cb Anthony Gaitor signed with the Dolphins. I don't know much about him or if Miami released someone to make room for him? So now Miami is filling roster with Florida players, Gator's and Gaitor's.
 
Was it this guy that either pick Tannehill or nearly had a pick 6 against him? Does anyone else recall the name.
 
I dont know anything about this guy, but he couldnt be worse than Jimmy Wilson

Jimmy has strengths and weaknesses, but I think that you grossly underrate him. He has survived because he reads the game so well and is a natural competitor. Many ignore his good plays and just focus on his errors. Clearly Kevin Coyle wants the leadership that he brings to the team, otherwise he wouldn't still be here. Gaitor is probably just another guy to fill the roster (although Hickey probably liked him in Tampa).
 
Gaitor is not literally a Florida Gator guys. He played at FIU.
 
I'm glad to see the team's tapping into local talent more&more.
