The Dolphins signed former San Diego Charger Justin Peelle as their new backup tight end to a three-year deal. Used primarily as a blocker in San Diego, the 6-4, 255-pound Peelle had 11 catches for 38 yards in 2005.

The Dolphins also signed wide receiver Kelly Campbell and defensive tackle Josh Shaw as free agents on Monday. Campbell, a former Vikings receiver, will be reunited with Daunte Culpepper, who he played with in Minnesota from 2002-04.

Campbell was out of football last year. He tore a quadriceps muscle in training camp and was eventually released.

Campbell was arrested in February 2005 and charged with possession of marijuana and theft by receiving stolen property involving a handgun. The Minneapolis Star-Tribune reported that he reached a deal with the Fulton County District Attorney to avoid a trial.

In 2004, Campbell caught 19 passes for 364 yards and one touchdown as a backup. He also returned 35 kicks for 760 yards. His 18.6 yards per catch career average ranks as third-best in Vikings history.

He enjoyed his best season in 2003, when he caught 25 passes for 522 yards and four touchdowns. His 20.9 yards per catch average in 2003 ranks as the sixth-best in team history, and best since Anthony Carter's 24.3 average in 1987.

Campbell was signed by the Vikings as a rookie free agent in 2002 at the urging of former Vikings defensive coordinator George O'Leary, who coached him at Georgia Tech.

Shaw appeared briefly on the Dolphins' 53-man roster in 2005

You know for a Back up Kelly isnt that bad..
 
I like that we signed Campbell. He is a good return guy, and not a bad WR. Him and DC have a history to, so I think it was a very smart move
 
I wonder how high Shaw's confidence is being that he's been signed and cut so many times.
 
"Campbell was arrested in February 2005 and charged with possession of marijuana and theft"
