"The Jacksonville Jaguars have expressed interest in free agent offensive tackle Eric Winston, according to his agent Drew Rosenhaus on the Joe Rose Show on 560AM WQAM (h/t @DomWorld_Peace).Whether this is just Winston's agent drumming up interest or not, he's someone who could help the Jaguars immediately going forward. Winston, 29, was released by the Kansas City Chiefs earlier in the free agent period and has had minimal activity on the free agent market.
He's a right tackle with lots of experience in a zone blocking scheme. Originally drafted in the third round of the 2006 NFL Draft, WInston spent his first six seasons in the NFL on the Houston Texans playing right tackle in their zone blocking scheme. Winston was released in 2012 by the Texans and quickly picked up by the Chiefs.
Since the 2007 season, Winston has started 96 straight games and played all 16 games six seasons in a row."

What does this have to do with the Dolphins? I'm sure a lot of teams are interested in Winston.

Winston signing has everything to do with our first pick in the draft ( #12 )

We are done spending in free agency.

Winston would play right tackle. They can draft one in round 2.

Looks like Dolphin's interest in Winston is waning per Rotoworld:

Per the Miami Herald, the Dolphins' interest in free agent RT Eric Winston has "otherwise waned somewhat."
Beat writer Armando Salguero thinks the Dolphins are only interested in signing Winston if the 29-year-old decides he'll play for Miami "very, very cheaply." After drawing a boatload of perceived interest shortly after his release, Winston's market has gone ice cold. Salguero adds that recently released RT Tyson Clabo could be a possibility for the Fins.

Meh. If we get him, we get him.

If we were truly sold on him he'd be ours already. :idk:
