Dolphins sign Douglas
The Miami Dolphins have signed veteran defensive end Marques Douglas to a two-year contract worth $2.5 million.
Douglas made a name for himself as a reserve and later as a starter for the Baltimore Ravens vaunted defense and then left with Mike Nolan for San Francisco.
The Dolphins were forced to make some type of move to replace defensive end Phillip Merling, who is out for the season with a torn Achilles tendon.
Douglas started 12 games for the New York Jets last season, making him a significant part of the NFL’s No. 1 rated defense.
The 33-year old is joining his fifth team in 11 NFL seasons and will likely compete with first round draft pick Jared Odrick for the starting job.
