Report: Dolphins bolster defense with Maualuga signing
by from on (#2ZQ5T)
The Miami Dolphins have signed free-agent linebacker Rey Maualuga to a one-year, $900,000 contract, Armando Salguero of The Miami Herald reports.
The Dolphins needed reinforcements at linebacker after second-round pick Raekwon McMillan was lost for the season due to a knee injury.
Maualuga reunites with Dolphins defensive coordinator Matt Burke, who was the linebacker's position coach with the Cincinnati Bengals.
The 30-year-old's coverage skills have eroded of late, but he should have enough in the tank to act as an early-down run stuffer.
