He'll be playing inside.

"I'm an inside guy," Dansby said. "Me and Channing [Crowder] are on the inside. I'm looking forward to playing with him."

ILBs in a 3-4 will still get their share of blitzes, this is a terrific pickup for MIA. Applause applause.

He'll get extended before he gets to be a RFA so it won't be quite as much, still I'd lock him up for whatever it cost. He's been a lock for the all-pro team since he was rookie.

Good pickup for the Dolphins.

He should be a good pickup for the Dolphins. He's great in coverage, and a decent blitzer who is all-right against the run. However, I think he's much better suited for the 4-3 than the 3-4.
