DAVIE, Fla. (AP) - Veteran tackle Ray Willis has signed with the Miami Dolphins after missing last season because of a knee injury. Willis was a disappointment with the Seattle Seahawks, who took him in the fourth round of the 2005 draft. He started 26 games for the Seahawks, including all 16 in 2009. The 6-6, 304-pound Willis reinforces depth at tackle, where Jake Long and newcomer Marc Colombo are the projected starters. The Dolphins waived tackle Micah Kia on Saturday.Copyright © 2005 The Assoc |

DAVIE, Fla. (AP) - Brett Favre in a Miami Dolphins uniform? It seems unlikely, but Dolphins coach Tony Sparano isn't completely shooting down the farfetched notion either. Asked Thursday if he would ``rule out any possibility of interest'' in Favre, Sparano stammered a bit before saying that the team doesn't automatically dismiss any idea when scanning who's available to possibly add to the roster. Sparano says, ``I don't know how you want me to answer that. That'll be all over the news now too, but |
