NFL Free Agency: Miami Dolphins Should Keep Jason Taylor
Posted: 20th March 2010 by Michael Pinto in NFL
Jason Taylor returned to the Miami Dolphins in 2009 after a year in exile with the Washington Redskins. And while he didn't dazzle last year, seven sacks, three forced fumbles, and an interception highlighted an overall productive season for the 35-year-old.

Posted: 17th March 2010 by Michael Pinto in NFL
It's been reported that the Miami Dolphins have signed controversial offensive guard Richie Incognito to a one-year deal.

But whether or ...
NFL Free Agency: Terrell Owens, Miami Dolphins? Forget About It
Posted: 11th March 2010 by Michael Pinto in NFL
The Miami Dolphins need a No. 1 receiver, and they need one bad.
With Anquan Boldin being traded to the Baltimore Ravens, Brandon Marshall and Miles Austin expensively tagged as restricted free agents, and Antonio Bryant signing with the Cincinnati Bengals, the market for help at the position has pretty much run dry.
One name is still out there though: Terrell Owens. Could a Bill Parcells-T.O. reunion be on the horizon?
There's no denying the talent that Owens brings to the ...
