Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports reports that free agent fullback Ovie Mughelli will fly to Miami tonight and visit the Dolphins on Thursday. Mughelli, who turns 32 next month, was a Pro Bowl lead blocker in front of Michael Turner with the Falcons in 2010. He missed most of last season with a torn…

Running back Ricky Williams touched the ball 2,773 times during his NFL career, absorbing plenty of physical contact, to every part of his body.  But as his career ends (even though some think he’ll be back), Williams dismisses the link between concussions and brain damage. Which perhaps conclusively proves it. Appearing on ESPN2′s Dan Le…

The Dolphins have produced two Hall of Fame quarterbacks.  After that, there’s a gap. A fairly big gap/ As the South Florida Sun-Sentinel sees it, the third best quarterback in franchise history behind Dan Marino and Bob Griese is Chad Pennington. Pennington joined the Dolphins in 2008, after the first annual Brett Favre unretirement tour…

No one is an underachiever at rookie camps, where the air is full of imaginary interceptions and punts never fall to earth.

As usual, initial reports of the value of the contract between the Dolphins and linebacker Cameron Wake were higher than reality. Described on Sunday as a $49 million contract with $20 million guaranteed, we’ve gotten our mitts on the deal.  And, as expected, it’s not as strong as advertised. Cutting through the fog (yeah, we…

Two-time Pro Bowl punter Jim Arnold, who has joined the latest lawsuit against the NFL, says punters suffer brain damage in on-field collisions, too.
