Miami Dolphins

During an interview with the Miami Herald on Friday, Dolphins linebacker Jason Taylor said he has not made any decisions about his NFL future -- whether he will play in South Florida or for any other team next season.

By Omar Kelly Watching how invested Taylor is made me wonder how difficult it would be for him to leave the Dolphins again, which is a possibility considering the Dolphins regime might go in another direction, not re-signing the franchise's more recognizable player.

By Omar Kelly There's no way former Miami Hurricanes standout Vince Wilfork will end up a Miami Dolphins next season. Not unless the Dolphins are willing to sign him to a lucrative contract AND give the Patriots, which will likely place the franchise tag on Wilfork, a first and third-round pick as compe...

By Mike Berardino Count Miami Dolphins/South team coach Tony Sparano among those impressed with Miami Hurricanes inside linebacker Darryl Sharpton. Sharpton may be undersized at a shade below 6 foot and 229 pounds, but he's a playmaker who fits the Dolphins' motto of...

By Mike Berardino The defensive tackle from North Carolina has been a monster out here in Senior Bowl practice this week and could be a nice consolation prize for the Miami Dolphins in the middle rounds as they seek a long-term solution at nose tackle.  Can Thomas play the nose in the NFL?

Since the season's end, one of the biggest questions facing the Dolphins has centered around whether linebacker Joey Porter's tenure in Miami will be cut short within the next few months, two seasons before his contract is set to expire.

Pro Bowl players from Denver, Dolphins defensive coordinator Mike Nolan's former team, enjoyed playing his pressure-heavy style.

Aiming to raise public dollars to improve their privately-owned stadium, the Miami Dolphins and team backers have hatched a plan: get state legislators to lift the ceiling on Miami-Dade's hotel tax and then ask county commissioners to increase the rate of the so-called bed tax.

By Omar Kelly It'll also be interesting to see if Bill Parcells attends his second straight Senior Bowl. It's usually an event he skips, but he attended last season because the Dolphins "had very specific needs" and he wanted to evaluate the players up close and personal.

INDIANAPOLIS -- There is a God. He has not recently blessed the Dolphins with a quarterback like Peyton Manning, but at least He put Manning in the path of the New York Jets and their fans this postseason.

By Mike Berardino Well, my new laptop is finally up and running, so here is my 2 cents on the Dolphins offseason (ok, it’s a lot more than that, so sorry for the length). This is what I think needs to happen in order for the Fins to take it to the next level, meaning perennial playoff participant and Super Bowl cont...

By Mike Berardino The Miami Dolphins just announced they have indeed hired Mike Nolan to run their defense. And so, in a span of less than 24 hours, the highly respected defensive coordinator goes from running the Denver Broncos' defense -- which struggled...

Friday's deadline for underclassmen to declare for the NFL Draft delivered good news, with several likely top 15 picks turning pro and options increasing for Miami at No. 12. Alabama inside linebacker Rolando McClain would be a logical Dolphins choice, but he might not slip to 12th.

After each season the Dolphins evaluate all their players and actually rank them. ``We will sit down as a staff and go through the entire season -- number of plays, rate every player, rank them all,'' coach Tony Sparano said.

The Dolphins' Chad Henne has shown promise, and so too have his young, athletic receivers....The Steelers travelled to Miami knowing that a loss put an end to their playoff hopes, and the Dolphins, too, needed a win to keep their slim post-season dreams alive....This season might be over for them...

No matter how improbable a run at the playoffs might seem for the Dolphins, no matter how much might need to transpire between now and Sunday night, coach Tony Sparano isn't worrying about those odds.

By Omar Kelly What's worse is that the Dolphins' slot receiver has had a fumbling problem over the past two weeks. He's fumbled three times, but fortunately one never counted because the Jets didn't review the play courtesy of a great rush job by the Dolphins.

By Mike Berardino A: Oh, I'm sure there has. Gotta think Cam Cameron did something along those lines. Wannstedt too. And I've heard George Wilson was an absolutely horrible timeout caller. I mean, horrible. Q: Ginn + Sparano = Receiver like Fiedler + Wannstedt = Starting Quarterback

By Omar Kelly The Miami Dolphins are using the bye week to heal up and adapt to the loss of Patrick Cobbs. Also taking those Wildcat snaps was Ricky Williams, who suffered an ankle injury in the win over the Jets. Dolphins QB Chad Henne is 2-0 as a starter to open his career. The last QB to do that is Damon Huard in...
