Sounds like a waste of money on another injury prone player who wasn't very good to begin with....

Ranked two spots better than Jerry....not good.

I hope it's for short money and no cap ramifications.

This was before last season started...

It’s hard to judge how Louis will fair at right guard because the majority of his playing time has come at tackle. What we do know is tackle definitely wasn’t the position for him. He finished the season with a -20.9 pass block rating, as well as a -13.2 run block rating. PFF

I do think that Jerry ...with his size... is a better fit at RT. It will be interesting to see if he is moved back to Tackle like some are suggesting.

hope this is a minimum type deal. the guy is just 2 spots ahead of jerry and injured? how is this an upgrade?

Just 1 season. Little risk , large reward if he regains his status that he had as a starter last season.

GO DOLPHINS!!!!

ok with it as long as it's for small $ and we still sign eric winston and/or brent grimes

Much, much more athletic. Was a TE until a junior in college. Ran a 4.76 40 at 300 lbs.

Both Chicago newspapers called him a solid player.

Does this mean we took him over Moore & Winston

This is exactly the type of signing that dolfanmark was talking about when he said to expect more changes. If Louis looks healthy in camp, you can kiss Jerry or Incog goodbye, this guy fits the more athletic type of O-lineman that Philbin wants.

I know that Miami will want to address the o-line and CB positions in the draft, but signing inexpensive veteran players at those positions is a smart move. It's better than wasting big bucks on a "star" free agent who will only be a stop-gap, and they'll still have someone who could be an average starter until the rookies are ready.

I think some of the strategy is to fill glaring needs to help hide what our draft picks will be so teams can't jump us knowing what we are going to take

to me OG is not a glaring need. OT and CB are. We need to sign one/both of those before the draft (Winston, Grimes, etc)

How do we know it was a cheap contract? has anyone seen the contract details?

Signed a one year, 1.6 mil deal. Word out of Chicago is he was their best lineman last year before he got hurt. He runs a 4.76 40 yard dash.

We find out April 15th what kind of shape Jerry is in when he reports.
