Randy Starks - DL - Dolphins

CBS Sports' Jason La Canfora doesn't expect the Dolphins and franchise player DT Randy Starks to agree to a long-term contract before the July 15 deadline.

Starks desperately wants a multi-year deal, but lost what little leverage he had when he signed his $8.5 million tender on March 19. With Starks going on 30 and the Dolphins already having a number of big-money contracts on the books, Starks is going to have to be content playing on a one-year deal.

Rishard Matthews - WR - Dolphins

The Miami Herald's 53-man Dolphins roster projection left off second-year WR Rishard Matthews.

A previous Herald report indicated Matthews was standing out at OTAs, but his consistency must have become an issue. The Herald now projects the Fins to keep five wide receivers: Mike Wallace, Brian Hartline, Brandon Gibson, Armon Binns, and Marvin McNutt. If Matthews can't beat out McNutt and Binns on a level playing field, then perhaps he doesn't belong in the league anyway.

Dallas Thomas - T - Dolphins

Dolphins signed third-round G/T Dallas Thomas to a four-year contract.

Recovering from significant shoulder surgery, Thomas did little at OTAs and will be behind the eight ball when training camp starts. If fully healed, Thomas could still make a run at a starting job. The Dolphins' offensive line is a team weakness and at least one of the guard positions will be up for grabs.

Daniel Thomas - RB - Dolphins

Daniel Thomas has been the Dolphins' clear-cut No. 2 running back throughout minicamp and Organized Team Activities.

As the Miami Herald writes, there's "no mystery" about the Dolphins' tailback depth chart. Lamar Miller is locked in as the first-teamer, with Thomas No. 2 and rookie Mike Gillislee attempting to hold off longer-shot competitors like Jonas Gray for the third-string job. Gillislee could make a move on Thomas in training camp, but Thomas won't be making a move on Miller.

Joe Hastings - WR - Dolphins

Dolphins signed WR Joe Hastings.

Hastings was waived by the 49ers earlier this month and hasn't appeared in the NFL since 2011. The third-year undrafted free agent isn't a candidate for the 53-man roster, but adds special teams depth and has practice squad eligibility.

Lamar Miller - RB - Dolphins

Coach Joe Philbin says Lamar Miller has "really progressed" over the course of OTAs and minicamp.

"He is very smart," Philbin said. "I think he has really progressed from a mental standpoint as a professional in his second season. He has very good hands. We like a lot of the things he is doing in pass protection. Again, we have to temper our enthusiasm based on how he does in pads, but I think his understanding of how he fits in the protection scheme is very good. We use that term, ‘closing the distance.’ He has done an excellent job in that regard in the spring, so we’ll have to see how that carries over to the fall." Miller is the favorite for lead-back duties in the Miami backfield. We have him as a mid-to-low RB2.

Mike Wallace - WR - Dolphins

Mike Wallace's dad says his son turned down a $76 million contract offer from the Vikings in free agency.

Wallace and his father are trying to craft a narrative that "it's not about the money." The truth is that although the Vikings might have offered a deal worth $76 million in total compensation, it's unlikely they matched the $30 million guaranteed the Dolphins ponied up. Minnesota ended up settling for Greg Jennings on a five-year, $45 million deal that included $17.8 million guaranteed.

Evan Rodriguez - RB - Dolphins

Dolphins claimed FB/TE Evan Rodriguez off waivers from the Bears.

An athletic H-back type at 6-foot-2, 239, Rodriguez drew loose comparisons to Aaron Hernandez coming out of Temple as a 2012 fourth-round pick. He managed just four catches as a rookie and was arrested twice this offseason before Bears GM Phil Emery washed his hands of Rodriguez. In Miami, he figures to compete with fellow H-back Charles Clay for one roster spot.

Will Davis - DB - Dolphins

Dolphins signed third-round CB Will Davis to a four-year contract.

The 93rd overall selection in the draft, Davis was projected as a last-day pick by most draft analysts but the Fins were desperate for cornerback depth. Davis is probably not a candidate to play significant defensive snaps as a rookie.

Olivier Vernon - DL - Dolphins

Dolphins second-year DE Olivier Vernon has taken reps with the first-team defense at OTAs.

With Randy Starks (franchise tag) and Dion Jordan (late graduation) both away from the offseason sessions, Vernon has worked as the first-team right end and Jared Odrick has been the starting tackle next to Paul Soliai. Vernon won't be an every-down player in 2013, but he should have a role in sub-packages. The 2012 third-round pick registered 3.5 sacks off the bench as a rookie.

Evan Rodriguez - RB - Dolphins

Bears waived FB/TE Evan Rodriguez.

The move comes just five days after GM Phil Emery hinted he'd give his troublemaking lead-blocker another chance. The Bears have signed FB Tony Fiammetta to take Rodriguez's roster spot. A fourth-round pick last season, Rodriguez was hit-or-miss across 217 snaps. Giving up on a fourth-rounder this quickly is unusual, so perhaps the Bears were unsatisfied with Rodriguez beyond his two offseason arrests.

Randy Starks - DL - Dolphins

Disgruntled Dolphins DT Randy Starks reported for this week's mandatory minicamp.

Starks signed his one-year, $8.5 million franchise tender in March, but held out of all voluntary activities in search of a long-term deal. He would have been subject to heavy fines for blowing off this week's minicamp. Starks' desire for a long-term deal is understandable, but going on 30, he may not get one unless it's for a team-friendly price.

Brandon Gibson - WR - Dolphins

Dolphins $10 million free-agent pickup Brandon Gibson has reportedly been outplayed by Armon Binns at OTAs.

Reporters caught Gibson dropping a pass in practice early this week, and he's predictably struggling with his conversion to slot receiver. Binns, a journeyman UDFA on his third team in three years, is squarely on the bubble. Gibson's roster spot is safe because GM Jeff Ireland guaranteed him $3.75 million.

Evan Rodriguez - RB - Dolphins

GM Phil Emery suggested that he's willing to give FB/TE Evan Rodriguez another chance.

Coming off a very quiet rookie season, Rodriguez has been arrested twice this offseason. Although Emery said he's "extremely" disappointed, he still envisions a larger role for Rodriguez this year. The Bears don't have any other realistic options at fullback right now.

Joe Hastings - WR - Dolphins

49ers waived WR Joe Hastings.

Hastings was signed in February. His lone career appearance came in 2011. The third-year undrafted free agent is likely near the end of the line.
