Dolphins Also Sign Starks

NFL Network is reporting we have signed DT Randy Starks from the Titans.

Starks had a decent first few years in the NFL before having a disappointing 2007. However, he's a big guy with some talent and is still only 24. This signing and the addition of Jason Ferguson probably means we have ruled out Glenn Dorsey and Sedrick Ellis as our choice in the first round. Ferguson will probably start, with Starks backing him up, unless Soliai improves dramatically in the offseason.

What I like is that we are signing a lot of young players with upside. Some might not turn out to be great players, but Smiley is 26, Starks is 24, Torbor is in his 4th year, and Wilford is still young as well. The only player we've gotten that is a longtime veteran of the league is Jason Ferguson.

Oh, and if you care, Cleo Lemon signed a 3 year deal with Jacksonville.
