Footballguys view: Devlin was considered an interesting QB prospect at one point, at least in part because he came from Joe Flacco's Delaware Blue Hens.

  Dolphins | Six players signed to futures contract    Thu Jan 7, 11:52 AM

Omar Kelly, of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, reports the Miami Dolphins have signed SS Nate Ness, TE John Nalbone, WR Julius Pruitt, WR Taurus Johnson, OG Ray Feinga and RB Tristan Davis to futures contracts. The contracts are two-year deals but the financial terms were not disclosed. All six players finished the season on the Dolphins' practice squad.

Footballguys view: The player to watch here is Taurus Johnson, the 2009 rookie from USF. We saw Johnson down at the Shrine Game in Houston back in January of '09 and came away impressed with his frame and ability to come back to the football. He's likely not a big play threat, but a solid possession wide receiver with the strength to break arm tackles and pick up yards after the catch.

  Browns | Sign 11 undrafted free agents    Fri May 1, 03:51 PM

Zac Jackson, of ClevelandBrowns.com, reports the Cleveland Browns have signed undrafted free-agent TE Mike Massey (Michigan), DL Adam Hoppel (Cincinnati), OL Branndon Braxton (Oklahoma), FS Corey Boudreaux (San Diego State), CB Antonio X. Smith (Bowling Green), FS Jason Venson (Central Florida), S Nate Ness (Arizona), LB Marcus Benard (Jackson State), LB Jonathan Foster (Central State), LB Phillip Hunt (Houston) and WR Brent Casteel (Utah). Terms of the contracts were not disclosed.

Footballguys view: Phillip Hunt is another non-combine invite that could end up making waves in the NFL. He's considered too short to play DE and not athletic enough to play LB in the pros, but he had great career production (34.5 sacks) in Conference USA. He can rip underneath blockers and can leverage the edge. He is a sound tackler, and does a good job of diagnosing the play as it unfolds.
