*** DOLPHINS NEWS ***
Mar 21, 1997: -- Teague Signs; Bailey Cut --

** Teague Signs

The Dolphins signed free agent George Teague yesterday to a 3 year deal, reportedly worth about $3 million. Teague had agreed to terms with the Dolphins on Wednesday after talking with them for about a month following his February 20th visit.

Teague stepped in for the injured Brock Marion last year for the Cowboys and had his most memorable game against Minnesota in the playoffs, where he stripped Amp Lee of the ball and prevented a touchdown. He also returned an interception for a touchdown for the Cowboys.

** Robert Bailey Cut

The Dolphins cut cornerback Robert Bailey yesterday in order to free up money under the salary cap. Bailey was in the final year of a 2 year deal that he signed last spring with the Dolphins. He was scheduled to make about $340,000 this year.

Bailey played in the nickel defense last year and on special teams. He had 9 total tackles and 1 sack during the 1996 season.

** Other Free Agent News

Defensive end Ernie Logan, who visited the Dolphins several weeks ago, has signed with the New York Jets. Logan is a free agent from the Jaguars who has been known more for his potential than for his actual production on the field.

My Comments:

Teague's signing probably ends the free agent signing period in Miami this spring - at least until after the draft. I say probably, because you never know if JJ has another card up his sleeve.

Robert Bailey has been a journeyman defensive back for most of his career and contributed very little to the Dolphins last year. Considering the problems the Dolphins have had in the secondary, that doesn't exactly speak well for his talents. I don't think he'll be missed.
