MIAMI (AP) -A person familiar with the negotiations says defensive end Marques Douglas has agreed to terms on a $2.5 million, two-year contract with the Miami Dolphins.
The person spoke to The Associated Press on Friday night on the condition of anonymity because the Dolphins had not announced the agreement.
Douglas shores up a position depleted when Phillip Merling recently sustained an Achilles’ tendon injury that will force him to miss the entire season.
Douglas started 12 games for the New York Jets’ top-ranked defense last year, and had 36 tackles and 28 assists. The Dolphins will be his fifth team in an 11-year career, and he’ll compete for playing time with the Dolphins’ No. 1 draft pick, Jared Odrick.
