yhea but he has a home now. im talking players w/out a home
 
No one really know because Nick Saban is sooo qiuet. He might bring in someone that he is not really interested in and he might tell the media that he is not interested in somebody. You can't really believe him can you Braylon Edwards?

Here are the names of the free agents that have visited or talked with the dolphins.


Ryan Hannam TE Reportedly visiting Miami on 3/16/06. Hannam started 5 games for the Seahawks last year, catching 13 passes for 89 yards and 1 touchdown. He would be a backup receiving tight end for the Dolphins if he was signed.
Signing Probability: Medium


Chris Baker TE Visited Miami on 3/15/06. Baker started 8 games for the Jets last year before being injured and missing the last half of the year. While playing, he caught 18 passes for 269 yards and 1 touchdown. If signed, he would be a backup tight end to compliment Randy McMichael.
Signing Probability: Medium

Mike Vanderjagt K Visited with Miami on 3/13/06. Vanderjagt is the most accurate field goal kicker in NFL history, hitting 87.5 percent of his field goal attempts. He has had a falling out with the Colts and is available as an unrestricted free agent. The curious part about his visit is that the Dolphins have seemed happy with Olindo Mare'. Mare' has reportedly refused to take a pay cut and that might be why the Dolphins are having Vanderjagt visit, but Vanderjagt wouldn't be cheap, either.
Signing Probability: Low

Fred Beasley FB Visited the Dolphins on 3/13/06. Beasley is a veteran fullback who has played all 8 years of his career with the San Francisco 49ers. Until last year, Beasley was a very effective blocker, short yardage runner and receiver and made the Pro-Bowl as a fullback in 2003. Last year, however, he reported to training camp out of shape and didn't play well most of the season. His visit indicates that the Dolphins may not be satisfied with the play of Darian Barnes.
Signing Probability: Medium

Tom Ashworth OT Visited the Dolphins on 3/13/06. Ashworth has been with the Patriots for 4 years and has started 24 games in that time, but has had problems staying healthy. He has played both left and right tackle and could be a valuable backup, but is probably not a starting quality left tackle.
Signing Probability: Low

LaVar Arrington LB Visited the Dolphins on 3/10/06. LeVar Arrington has been to the Pro Bowl 3 times out of his 6 years in the league and is generally regarded as one of the premier linebackers in the NFL. However, he's had injury problems in his last two years and will command a large payday. Still, his first visit before free agency even officially began was to the Dolphins. Arrington would make a good replacement for Junior Seau.


Sam Adams DT Visited the Dolphins on 3/8/06. Adams is a three time Pro-Bowl player who, after 11 years in the NFL, is on the downside of his career. Nevertheless, at 6'4" and 335 pounds, he is still a formidible player that can anchor the middle of a defensive line and would still be very effective, especially alternating with Keith Traylor.
Signing Probability: Medium


Chris Hope S Signed with the Titans. Hope was the starting free safety for the Pittsburgh Steelers last year, finishing the season 3rd on the team in tackles and first in interceptions. It would be a great addition to get him in Miami, but he will probably command a first class salary and the Dolphins might not be able to afford him.


David Givens WR Signed with the Titans. Givens has been a quality receiver for the Patriots for 3 years, saving his best performances for big games and tight situations. While his stats are not eye-popping, he has caught touchdown passes in 7 straight playoff games and has lead the Patriots in touchdown receptions in the playoffs every year since 2003. He would be a very valuable addition to the Dolphins receiving corps.

Drew Brees QB Brees has agreed to a deal with the Saints after the Dolphins refused to meet Brees' monetary demands.


Kevin Mawae C Signed with the Titans Kevin Mawae is one of the top two or three centers in the NFL, but was cut by the New York Jets mostly for salary cap reasons. Mawae has appeared in 6 Pro Bowls during his career. Last year, he had a torn triceps which caused him to miss ten games, but before that he had started 177 games in a row for the Jets and Seahawks. If the Dolphins were to land him, that would be a major coup for the offensive line.

Justin Bannan DT Signed with the Ravens. Bannan started the last 6 games of 2005 for the Bills at defensive tackle and ended the season with 40 tackles and 1.5 sacks. While not quite the prototypical nose tackle, he could be a valuable addition to the defensive line rotation and would probably be cheaper than Sam Adams.

--------------------------------------------------------------

Here are some free agents the Phins are interested in:


Trey Teague C The Ft.Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel reports the Dolphins are interested in Trey Teague. Teague is an 8 year veteran who has started the last 5 years in the league - the last 4 for the Buffalo Bills. There seems to be very little information about him available, but he is not widely regarded as one of the better centers in the league. The Bills' offensive line has not been particularly strong the last few years and as the anchor for that line, Teague must take some responsibility for that. On the other hand, he is a versatile player and can play almost any position on the line.


Ty Law CB The Palm Beach Post reports the Dolphins are interested in Ty Law. Ty Law is one of the premier cornerbacks in the league, but also one of the premier prima donnas, as well. Last year, he had 10 interceptions with the Jets, but they cut him loose after the season because his contract demands were too high. If his contract demands were to drop into the "reasonable" range, the Dolphins would probably make him an offer.


Tommy Maddox QB The Miami Herald reports the Dolphins have contacted Maddox's agent about becoming the backup in Miami. Tommy Maddox first entered the league in 1992, but took 5 years off in the middle of his career. He was out of the NFL from 1996 to 2001 when he returned to play for the Steelers. He has been in Pittsburgh ever since as a starter in 2002 and 2003 and a backup to Ben Roethlisberger in 2004 and 2005. He is a competent veteran in the Gus Frerotte mold. If the Dolphins can't re-sign Frerotte, they have told Maddox they'd be interested in him.

Dan Campbell TE The New York Post is reporting that Campbell will visit the Dolphins later this week. Campbell was the starting tight end for the Cowboys most of last year, but only caught 3 passes for 24 yards from Drew Bledsoe. He is a 7 year veteran who originally started for the Giants before moving to the Cowboys in 2003. He has started most of his career, but his receiving stats are pedestrian, at best.

Julian Peterson will visit the Dolphins on Monday.
