FINS ADD DARIUS

On the same day that the Miami Dolphins placed safety Yeremiah Bell on injured reserve due to a ruptured Achilles' tendon suffered in Week One against the Redskins, the Fins signed free-agent safety Donovin Darius.

Darius, a first-round pick in 1998, was cut by the Jaguars during the offseason. He was picked up by the Raiders, but then was included in the final roster cuts.

The Dolphins also signed safety Lamont Thompson, and released defensive end Akbar Gbaja-Biamila.

Darius is a solid player but I still don't believe he's a difference maker like that.

Used to be a decent player but if the Raiders cut him you gotta wonder.

Apparently, DD isn't the same player he used to be-he broke his ankle in the Monday Nighter against the Gints last year, and didn't sign with anyone until WAY late in FA.

He's not a threat, at least not anymore.

That's about it. He's probably lost what speed he had... which wasn't a lot to begin with.

This guy is still a good player.
