Dolphins | Akeem Spence has chance to start Wed May 9, 09:23 PM
Miami Dolphins DT Akeem Spence is expected to compete for one of the starting defensive tackle jobs during training camp.
| Footballguys view: That's why they added him via trade earlier this month. He was with the Lions for only one season, but the 2013 fourth-round pick (Buccaneers) is getting a fresh start with the Dolphins. They need to find a replacement for Ndamukong Suh, and Spence will be in that mix...although not even close to that level of player. |

Buccaneers | Akeem Spence suspended one game Mon Aug 17, 04:29 PM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers DT Akeem Spence has been suspended one game by the NFL for violating the league's substance abuse policy.
| Footballguys view: Last January, Spence was arrested for possession of marijuana. Charges were dropped, but the league has stepped in with a one-game suspension. Spence may not be ready for the start of the regular season due to back surgery he had in July. There's a chance he could begin the season on the PUP list. |
