As for the cornerback moves, this transaction is of little importance. Babers probably isn't a

Meanwhile, I'm still waiting for confirmation on just exactly what happened with Halterman and Billingsley. You see, when players are hurt they are usually waived/injured, which is a precursor to going on injured reserve. However, the media usually get this wrong and just say a guy was "waived." (see the Tab Perry situation earlier this offseason.) This causes confusion because if a guy is just waived, he

I should also point out that even if Halterman and Riley do go to injured reserve, they will be strong candidates to be let go with injury settlements and it seems unlikely they'll spend the entire season with the team. Teams just can't release injured players without the fear of grievances, so this is typically how things go with "scrubs" this time of year.
Regardless of whether or not they become free agents or go to I.R., the losses of Halterman and Riley aren't terribly significant. Halterman was a long shot to make the team at a crowded tight end position, while Riley was just a recent pickup for offensive line depth. One thing I will say, and it's something I've touched on often lately, is that the Dolphins are still very thin at the backup tackle spots. Riley's departure makes it even thinner and it's something they still need to address. With two open roster spots now, it seems likely at least one will be used on the line.
