MIAMI (CBSMiami/AP) — Finding some familiarity with a new team is always a good thing for a free agent.
Four-time Pro Bowl guard Josh Sitton followed this winter’s well-worn path from the Chicago Bears to the Miami Dolphins, and that’s not by accident.
After signing a two-year free agent contract with Miami that could be worth nearly $18 million including incentives, Sitton said he was drawn to the Dolphins by the recent hirings of assistant coaches Dowell Loggains and Jeremiah Washburn.
Both were with the Bears last year. Loggains is Miami’s new offensive coordinator.
“We’ve had a pretty good little friendship over the past couple of years,” Sitton said Friday.
