Merged x5: Phins sign QB Kevin O'Conell.

O'Connell doesn't look any worse than Moore right now.
 
3-4-5-6 qb's of the 2008 draft: Brohm - Henne - O'connell -Booty. I like Henne!
 
Kevin O'Connell had a stellar 2010 preseason: 8 of 16 for 70 yards (4.4 YPA) with 0 TDs, 2 INTs.

ALMOST as good as his 2009 preseason: 12 of 26 for 108 yards (4.2 YPA) with 0 TDs, 2 INTs.

Kind of on par with his 2008 preseason: 15 of 32 for 142 yards (4.4 YPA) with 1 TD, 2 INTs.

I miss Tom Brandstater already.

Given his experiences, maybe O'Connell is here to pump valuable information out of him.

Like Ryan Lindley's favorite color, drink of choice, favorite shoes, etc...
 
We bring in a guy who is going to be competing for the #3 spot with Devlin and Brandstater. Do we need to always flip out on these depth signings? Seriously guys this is getting old.
 
Meh, way to light a fire under Brandstater.
 
The Dolphins have agreed to a one-year contract with free agent quarterback Kevin O'C

The Dolphins have agreed to a one-year contract with free agent quarterback Kevin O'Connell a team source is confirming.


Adam Scheffter of ESPN.com first reported the contract transaction.
That means the Dolphins will have five QBs in camp, which is about right for the preseason but at least one QB and probably two too many for the regular season. I'd say Tom Brandstater's status with the team is tenuous, however.


[Update: Tom Brandstater has been cut.]
O'Connell, 26 years old and about to vie for his third NFL season, was with the Jets in 2009 and the New England Patriots in 2008.


O'Connell was a third-round draft pick of the Patriots in 2008 but lasted only one year with the franchise. He was cut in the 2009 preseason when he suffered something of a meltdown in an exhibition game, throwing two interceptions while completing only 3 of 10 passes in the second half of a game against what was a backup defense.


O'Connell was picked up by the Lions who then traded him to the Jets for a seventh round pick. O'Connell was released by New York after the 2009 season.


But here's the kicker: O'Connell suffered a torn labrum in his throwing shoulder that required surgery and major rehabilitation. He did not play football in 2010.


[Update 2: Will Allen and Brandon Marshall are not practicing today.]


 
I dont understand why you guys don't understand this.. Rookie season he was with the Pats, last year Jets, this year Miami, next Buffalo
