Miami Dolphins Sign Richie Incognito to a 1-year Deal

The Dolphins added their second roster addition Wednesday since the start of free agency began March 5, at first signing linebacker Karlos Dansby. Guard Richie Incognito, who arrived for his visit in South Florida on Monday, agreed to a one-year deal worth just over $1 million. It is considered a bargain rate for a player with a controversial past that led to his departure from St. Louis last year. " I had a great visit,'' Incognito said shortly before his agent reached the deal with his new team. Now, it's up to Incognito to prove he still belongs in the NFL while also attempting to prove worthy of a starting job with the Dolphins. Before he can earn any type of long-term deal, he will need to show accountability. Miami, which has been looking to improve the level of competition at guard, was one of only a few teams to take a risk on Incognito's volatile on-field personality. He is expected to compete with Donald Thomas for the starting job at right guard. Either way, his arrival provides some much-needed depth at an injury-prone position. During the process, he needs to show the coaching staff that he will be more of an asset than a liability. In my opinion this is a very smart investment for the Miami Dolphins, It's a relatively cheap contract for a player that can really help them next year . It adds depth to their offensive line, he can either play great in the off-season and start, do a great job off the bench, or substitute a player in the starting line up after injury or bad play. Yes he does have a angry personality, but hopefully he can take out that anger on the opposing team rather than on his own coaches.
