Linebackers Gary Guyton and Bryan Kehl visting Dolphins

[Nublar7]

According to sources, veteran free agent linebackers Gary Guyton and Bryan Kehl began free agent visits with the Dolphins on Monday night - meetings that will continue into Tuesday.

Guyton started 30 games for the Patriots over the past three seasons and had 47 tackles last year.

Kehl played two seasons (plus one game in 2010) for the Giants and then spent most of 2010 and all of 2011 with the Rams. He had 15 tackles as a backup last season and has started five games in four NFL seasons.

Kehl, a former fourth-round pick out of BYU, and Guyton, who went undrafted out of Georgia Tech, can play both inside and outside linebacker.

The Dolphins are looking for another linebacker to both provide depth and potentially compete with Koa Misi to start.

Guyton is younger, has intel on the Pats and actually played pretty well last year. What is the hold up.

I'm a die hard BYU fan and love Bryan Kehl! The guy isn't elite, but he works his butt off!

this is false

I was hoping phins would draft a 4-3 DE that can play 3-4 OLB and pass rush and cover. Not sure why they need a cover LB when Burnett and Dansby are supposedly good cover LBs. This must be all about MISI being in deep trouble.

What is the consensus among Patriot fans on Guyton? I have heard he lost playing time.

You have pretty much described every BYU player.... Go Utes!

Be nice to have a little beehive clique on the phins...Misi, Smith, Soliai, Denney, Feinga, & Kehl

Lets skipp all that mess and just draft Keuchley instead.

The only way Ireland will sign them is if they'll play for minimum wage plus tips.

 

[cdz12250]

We will lowball them, too. Ireland doesn't seem to understand that you get what you pay for, and the only players who will sign for what he offers are desperate players.

 

[arammell]

Boooooo! Death to all utes! I think we are 2 of very few dolphin fans in our neck of the woods!

He was inactive the second half of the season. He played poorly in coverage for the most part including an awful game against the Steelers. He was last on the depth chart at ILB.
