With Chad Pennington out for the season, the Miami Dolphins quickly made a move to add quarterback depth by trading for Tyler Thipgen. In the deal, the Kansas City Chiefs received an undisclosed selection in the 2010 NFL Draft.
Last season, Pennington and the Dolphins were a great story. After Pennington was released by the New York Jets, he landed with the Dolphins and took them to the playoffs with a record of 11-5. But after another shoulder injury, many team insiders believe that Pennington’s career could be over.
In Week 4, Chad Henne is expected to start at quarterback for Miami. …read more

And when I say Ricky Williams is going do marriage (comma) documentary, I don’t mean the marriage will necessarily be part of the documentary. Are you confused yet? Well that’s the joy that Ricky Williams gives you! It’s all confusion, not knowing what to think next.

First the good news. Ricky is getting married this weekend to his girlfriend Kristin Barnes. I have to say it’s refreshing to see someone with Ricky’s past to embrace life in this way and get hitched. He has made a public spectacle of himself, and then matured in front …read more

As if dominating the tennis world isn’t enough, Venus and Serena Williams have made their way into a new sport – the sisters have become part owners of the Miami Dolphins NFL team.
While no announcement has been officially made, Serena did mention the deal last week during the Rogers Cup: “there have been preliminary talks, and hopefully it’ll work out.  That would be a great opportunity for both of us. You never know. We’ll see what happens.  There’s always so many opportunities out there, and Venus and I are always trying to expand our brand and do the best that …read more

Willie McGinest, the 37-year-old linebacker who played year with the Cleveland Browns, reportedly wants to play one more year in the NFL. Where will McGinest end up?
One possible destination could be the New England Patriots. McGinest played for the Patriots from 1994 to 2005. After spending the last three seasons with the Browns, it’s possible McGinest could end up back in New England.
The Patriots value veterans — especially veteran linebackers. It wouldn’t be too surprising to see McGinest sign a small deal with the Patriots at some point before training camp.
Another possible destination is the Miami Dolphins. Bill Parcells is …read more

Earlier in the week, Greg Ellis was released by the Dallas Cowboys. The 33-year-old out of North Carolina played his first 12 years in the NFL with the Cowboys. However, after another offseason filled with complaints from Ellis, Dallas decided to cut their ties and save some money on his contract.
Considering that he has 20.5 sacks in the past two seasons, Ellis shouldn’t have any shortage of attention in free agency. At 6-foot-6 and 262 pounds, he’s still a player the offense has to account for when he’s on the field.
Who could be interested in him?
New England Patriots
Don’t the Patriots …read more

Jason Taylor had a lot of teams interested in acquiring his services. When it came down to it, Taylor decided to follow his heart. Reportedly turning down more lucrative offers, Taylor re-joined the Miami Dolphins when he agreed to a one-year contract.
After playing in Miami for the first 11 seasons of his career, Taylor was traded to the Washington Redskins last year. In Washington, Taylor’s performance fell off — totaling a career-low 29 tackles and a career-low 3.5 sacks. After he decided not to attend workouts in Washington, the Redskins decided to cut him.
While with the Dolphins, Taylor had a …read more

After the 2009 NFL Draft, the Miami Dolphins released quarterback John Beck. With a number of teams interested in his services, Beck decided to ink with the Baltimore Ravens. Beck, who went to BYU and was the fourth quarterback taken in the 2007 draft, has played in five games in his NFL career.
The Dolphins no longer needed Beck due to having on their roster Chad Pennington and two young quarterbacks — Chad Henne (drafted in 2008) and Pat White (drafted in 2009).
With Baltimore, Beck could possibly win the backup QB gig. He’ll compete with Troy Smith and Todd Bouman …read more

It’s hard to follow in the shadow of the #1 recruit for 2004, Adrian Peterson…especially when you’re drafted to the Miami Dolphins.
But the #2 recruit of 2004, Ted Ginn, Jr. is making a name for himself, even if his team has seen better days. Like Peterson, Ginn entered the draft in 2007, after making a name for himself at Ohio State. His college career ended on a somewhat sour note, with an injury during the 2006 BCS Championship Game, but overall, he was known for making big plays and finding opportunities.
With the Dolphins, he’s showed spirit, even after becoming their …read more
