POLICE LOOKING INTO INCIDENT  Early Tuesday, a report from The Daily Illini claimed that Vontae Davis, the rookie cornerback for the Miami Dolphins, was arrested in Champaign, Illinois on June 9th. While the police report does indicate that "Vontae Ottis Davis" was given a notice to appear in court, it appears now that the Dolphins cornerback was not involved in the incident. The Dolphins and Davis have made public statements indicating that Davis was in fact in Miami on the day of the alleged incident for OTA days and it was impossible for him to be in Illinois. Davis told the media that shortly before he left Illinois to go pro that his wallet was stolen. It seems very likely that the person who was pulled over in Illinois claiming to be Vontae Davis was the person who stole his wallet. The Champaign Police Department is investigating the incident and plans on making a public statement later today or Thursday. TELL US WHAT YOU THINK IN THE FINHEAVEN FORUMS! |

JOHN BECK RELEASED  On Saturday the Dolphins added West Virginia quarterback Pat White with the 44th overall selection in the second round of the 2009 NFL Draft. With addition of White, John Beck, the 40th overall selection in the 2007 NFL Draft, was released after just two seasons. Beck started four games in 2007 and played in injury relief of Cleo Lemon in the finale. He finished the 2007 season completing 60 of 107 passes for 559 yards, one touchdown and three interceptions. He struggled during his playing time and his future in Miami took a big hit last season with the addition of free agent Chad Pennington and the drafting of Chad Henne. It didn't take long before the rookie Henne surpased Beck on the depth chart becoming the primary backup to Pennington. Miami had been shopping Beck via trade since as long ago as last August. When the Dolphins did not get the offers they were looking for at the end of the preseason, they decided to hold onto Beck and trade Josh McCown instead to Carolina for a 7th round pick. Miami desperately tried to trade Beck this past offseason, but found no takers. With the addition of the versatile White this past weekend, Miami decided to just release Beck and move forward. The move in part was done to free up a roster spot for the incoming undrafted free agents. Teams are only allowed to carry 80 players during mini camps and training camp, and with the release of Beck, Miami was able to sign six undrafted free agents.

MIKE DEE TO RUN BUSINESS SIDE  Reportedly Boston Red Sox COO is leaving the team to become the new CEO of Dolphins Enterprise. That position is currently held by Joe Bailey, who was named to that position by former owner Wayne Huizenga in 2005. Bailey's contract is set to expire soon. Dee would be running the business side of the Dolphins and would have no direct influence on the football side of the franchise, which is ran by Bill Parcells.
