Torbor to Dolphins

FA linebacker Reggie Torbor has agreed to terms with the Miami Dolphins. He is the first of the Giants free agents to flee.

Re: OT: Dolphins Sign Free Agent LB Reggie Torbor

Egh, this guy had a fantastic game in week 17 against us. Sucks that we have to play him twice a year now.

Well, that may mean that they aren't going to sign Calvin Pace. Then again, they need to upgrade at least two LB positions since Porter is crap.

They are bringing him in to play ILB..if pace is signed porter will prolly go inside with pace at SOLB. Torbor will fight it out with crowder for a starting spot....

OT: Man, the Dolphind are extremely active.

Dolphins agreed to terms with WR Ernest Wilford, formerly of the Jaguars.
He immediately becomes the favorite to start opposite Ted Ginn. Wilford, 29, caught 46 passes for 518 yards (11.5 YPC) and three TDs as a rotational wideout in Jacksonville last year. He's going to an offense in transition and is unlikely to be a huge fantasy factor. However, Wilford is a tough blocker and possession threat with red-zone ability. He'll help the 'Fins move the chains.

Dolphins agreed to terms with DT Randy Starks on a five-year, $21 million contract, with $7 million guaranteed.
Starks has played in a 4-3 scheme in Tennessee the past four years, but is the big (6'3/315), high-upside type player Bill Parcells looks for. Of course, he's also had off-field problems, something Parcells said he wouldn't tolerate. It's remarkable Starks got this money with such little production as a pro.

Dolphins signed TE Sean Ryan, formerly of the Jets.
Mostly a blocker and No. 2 tight end type, Ryan is a Bill Parcells guy. He'll be behind David Martin and Justin Peelle, assuming they make the team. The 'Fins will probably look for another downfield threat at the position.

Dolphins agreed to terms with LB Reggie Torbor.
The Giants have lost Torbor, Kawika Mitchell, and Gibril Wilson is probably next out the door. Torbor brings size and versatility to Miami, but probably won't be looked at as a possible starter.

Dolphins acquired NT Jason Ferguson from Dallas in exchange for a sixth-round pick in 2009. The Dolphins and Cowboys will also exchange sixth-round picks this year.
Ferguson's play was up and down in Dallas under the Big Tuna, but Bill Parcells still has a fondness for him. He's likely to start at nose tackle this year, but has to prove he's healthy after tearing his biceps last season.

And they've shown interest in signing Calvin Pace and some other players.

Here's the question though, do they have the cap room to sign all the above players to those contracts, and sign Calvin Pace to the rumored ($20M guaranteed) contract?
