### While the Dolphins remain interested in Evan Mathis, they haven’t reached out to the other talented veteran who has come on the market this week: John Moffitt.
Drafted in the third round by Seattle in 2011, Moffitt started 15 games in his first two seasons for the Seahawks, was traded to Denver and then retired in November 2013, saying he was unhappy and that he did not want to risk his health for money.
The 28-year-old Moffitt has overcome a drug issue, gotten his life back in order and came of retirement recently. Several teams reached out to his representation this week, but not the Dolphins as of Friday afternoon.
As for Mathis, the Dolphins remain interested, as we reported Tuesday. But as of the end of the offseason program this week, Miami hadn't made a formal offer.
The Dolphins don't want to be in a situation of bidding against themselves but they're monitoring the situation.
“One of the things that I've assured the teams that are interested in Evan is that I'm simply not going to identify who they are and talk about them because they have a set roster at this point," agent Drew Rosenhaus told WQAM today. "But there are 10 teams that have expressed bona fide interest in signing Evan.
"I can tell you that this deal will happen at any time or it may still take between now and training camp to get it done. There are several teams that are in the mix right now, and we don't want to discourage anybody from pursuing it in the event that there will be collateral damage if they don't get him."
### Dion Sims and Brandon Fields, at DJ Irie’s charity golf tournament today, spoke glowingly of Thursday’s Navy Seals Training experience that was put together by Joe Philbin but also said it was quite grueling.
There were training exercises in the Atlantic Ocean, another in which players held their hands behind their backs and kicked heavy logs, another in which they lifted logs and other difficult exercises that tested them physically and mentally over a three-hour period. When it was over, they all went their separate ways for the next six weeks.
