Dolphins | Miami to consider two safeties Sun Jun 12, 01:54 PM
Free-agent FSs Louis Delmas (Dolphins) and Antrel Rolle (Bears) will be considered by the Miami Dolphins if SS Reshad Jones continues to hold out, or if there is an injury at the position.
| Footballguys view: Jones isn't set to be a free agent until 2018, and he's got a cap number of $7.2 million this season. Reports indicate Jones is seeking a new deal that would pay him around $10 million a year. Good luck with that. Delmas and Rolle haven't received a ton of interest on the open market, but either one would work. The Dolphins chose not to re-sign Delmas this offseason as he tore his ACL last August and missed the entire 2015 season. |

Dolphins | Louis Delmas agrees to terms Mon Mar 10, 06:03 PM
The Miami Dolphins have agreed to terms with free-agent FS Louis Delmas (Lions) on a one-year contract worth as much as $3.5 million.
| Footballguys view: Delmas gives the team an intimidator on defense. He can roam the field, playing close to the line of scrimmage to help out against the run. Delmas is known as a big-hitter, and that has caused him to get banged up from time to time. He has only played a full season once in the last four years. If healthy, Delmas is an impact player. |

| Footballguys view: It looks like the Dolphins are serious about adding Delmas. He can roam the field and is known as a big-hitter. Delmas is talented, but he's only played a full season once in the last four years. His durability problems will be priced into his next contract. |

Saints | Louis Delmas visits Thu Feb 27, 03:59 PM
Free-agent FS Louis Delmas (Lions) visited the New Orleans Saints Thursday, Feb. 27.

The Saints have a need at safety, so they'll kick the tires on Delmas - being careful not to pop them while they do so. |

Lions | Ndamakong Suh signing could hamstring team Sun Feb 16, 03:15 AM
Detroit Lions DT Ndamukong Suh's presence on the roster comes with a price tag of $22.4 million, which gives the team almost no flexibility to do anything else in free agency. Even with the extra $11.5 million the team saved by releasing S Louis Delmas and WR Nate Burleson, the Lions do not have enough cap space to sign all of the team's prospective draft picks this May. Still, Lions president Tom Lewand would like to get Suh under contract, even if some pieces have to be moved into different places.
