After long-time guessing, former Arizona Cardinals linebacker Karlos Dansby made his final decision about his new team on the first day of free agency. The team he chose was the Miami Dolphins, who signed with him a $43 million, five-year contract on Friday.
The contract includes $22 million guaranteed and will pay Dansby $27 million over the next three years. On the same day of obtaining the big prize from this year’s free agent market, the Dolphins terminated the contracts of two linebackers and a safety: outside linebacker Joey Porter, inside linebacker Akin Ayodele and free safety Gilbril Wilson.
Dansby has started since his first year of wearing NFL jerseys after being drafted by the Cardinals as a second-round pick in 2004. The most impressive of his plays happened in the playoffs of last season. He returned Aaron Rodgers’ fumble 17 yards for a touchdown that sealed the Cardinals’ 51-45 victory over the Green Bay Packers. The Dolphins bring him in with the hope that he will help improve a defense that gave up a franchise-record 140 points in the fourth quarter last year.
