Miami Dolphins resist urge on one bigtime free agent and one homegrown temptation

There were numerous and persistent reports over the weekend the Miami Dolphins were showing a strong interest in New England Patriots defensive end Trey Flowers. These unconfirmed reports suggested new coach Brian Flores was putting his stamp on what would be an early and bold signature move in free agency by chasing a player he loves.

Flowers is a player Flores coached in New England.

Flowers, a versatile defensive end, is a player who is highly productive at a premium position.

Flowers is about as clean -- meaning great in the locker room, great on the field, great in the meeting rooms, great away from the facility -- as one can have.
