NO TALKS YET
The Dolphins say that, contrary to Internet reports, they have not had discussions with the Chargers or the agent for Boston, who this week was given permission to seek a trade.
The team did confirm that agent Mitch Frankel called Tuesday, presumably to begin those trade talks.
''I have had a call from Mitch Frankel, who is David Boston's agent, that I have not yet returned,'' Spielman said before refusing to characterize Miami's interest or lack of interest in the former Pro Bowl player.
''I don't know what will happen tomorrow or the next day, but right now I don't know because I haven't had discussions with anyone,'' Spielman said.
``I'll return the call definitely. Out of courtesy, I return every call.''
BOSTON INTERESTED
Boston, 25, has already put in several calls to the Dolphins, although through back channels.
He played four years for the Arizona Cardinals, turning in 1,000-yard seasons in 2000 and 2001, and credits position coach Jerry Sullivan with much of that success.
Sullivan was recently hired as the Dolphins' receivers coach. Sullivan and Boston remained close after Boston went to San Diego last year.
After Sullivan joined the Dolphins, Boston told the coach he would like to be reunited with him in Miami.
CHARGERS' MOVE
The Chargers are expected to trade or cut Boston before March 15 when a $3 million bonus is due him. The Dolphins can trade for Boston and then restructure the remaining portion of a $47 million deal he signed with San Diego last season.
Boston didn't seemingly fit in with the Chargers after signing that deal. He was suspended one game for conduct detrimental to the team, and he also got into an argument with a strength coach.
Despite his troubles, Boston caught 70 passes for 880 yards with seven TDs.
