Joe Toledo signed by Packers

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports that recently waived Dolphins offensive lineman Joe Toledo has been signed by the Green Bay Packers. The MJS is actually a little behind on this one - I picked up on this a few days ago when changed his network to Green Bay, Wisconsin on facebook. (That's investigation!)

Toledo, a fourth-round pick by the Dolphins in 2006, was plagued by injuries in Miami and never played in a regular season game for the team. He can play both guard and tackle and could make the Packers as a reserve lineman if he can stay healthy in camp.

Of the nine players the Dolphins let go on February 11, Toledo is the second to land with a new team. Offensive tackle Anthony Alabi was claimed off waivers by the Kansas City Chiefs on February 13.

Here's my second offensive line video of the day, this one on the offensive tackles. Be sure to check out my video on the centers and guards in the entry below. The next video in the series, on the tight end position, will be Thursday. Enjoy!

Alabi claimed off waivers by Chiefs

Just two days after the Dolphins parted ways with nine players, the first of that group has landed elsewhere. The Kansas City Chiefs were awarded offensive tackle Anthony Alabi off waivers on Wednesday.

Three other teams - the Broncos, Browns and Texans - also put in claims for Alabi. Coincidentally, Alabi was drafted by the Dolphins with a pick acquired in the trade that sent Patrick Surtain to Kansas City. He will keep his No. 79 with the Chiefs.

Alabi was originally drafted by the Nick Saban-led Dolphins out of TCU in 2005. He did not play his rookie season, and has since played in 16 games (starting none) in his three-year career as a backup tackle.

Dolphins begin cleaning house, part ways with nine players

As you've probably heard, the Dolphins have waived or released nine players today, including veterans Trent Green, Marty Booker, L.J. Shelton and Keith Traylor. For more information and analysis on these moves as the Dolphins begin to rebuild during the offseason, watch the following videos. Enjoy!
