Though the Dolphins have been quiet for much of free agency (after re-signing three of their own), they’ve made a big splash on the offensive line.

According to Adam Schefter of NFL Network, Raiders center Jake Grove has agreed to a five-year, $29 million contract. The deal includes $14.5 million guaranteed.

Grove was a second-round pick of the Raiders in 2004. Has 46 career starts in five NFL seasons.

The Raiders seem to be taking a different approach to FA this year vs. last year.

Last year they overspent like crazy doing really bad contracts. They seem a lot quietier this year.

And it looks like the Dolphins are doing pretty much what they did last year and that's being very aggressive in free agency.

Grove was a nice player a few years ago but has been injured for the last few. I am surprised at the kind of money they are throwing at him.
