DAVIE, Fla. -- New Miami Dolphins general manager Dennis
Hickey stepped to the microphone and apologized for his
hoarse voice, explaining he wore it down in recent days
trying to build a winner. Hickey then introduced a
succession of big acquisitions in the first 24 hours of
free agency -- 316-pound left tackle Branden Albert, 300-
pound defensive tackle Earl Mitchell and 305-pound
defensive tackle Randy Starks. All signed Wednesday.
Starks remained with the Dolphins after a brief stint as
a free agent, signing a $12 million, two-year contract.
He spent the past six seasons with the Dolphins, with
only one playoff game during that time. "The moves we
made so far just show were close to doing something
special here, and trying to bring in some people to help
us get over the hump," he said. The return of Starks, a
two-time Pro Bowl player, and the addition of Mitchell
compensate for the loss of defensive tackle Paul Soliai,
who joined the Atlanta Falcons after seven years with
Miami. "Pauls a good player," Starks said. "He has been
here a long time. Hell be well missed, but we have people
who can step up." Hickeys shopping will continue, with
additional offensive linemen, a tight end and a
linebacker the most pressing needs. The Dolphins are
trying to end a 13-year drought without a post-season
victory, and theyre eager to put in the past their
bullying scandal that involved tackle Jonathan Martin.
The acquisition of Albert was a step in that direction.
Hell take over the position manned at the start of last
season by Martin, who was traded late Tuesday to the San
Francisco 49ers for an undisclosed draft choice. "Im
going to be here to play left tackle and make a
difference," Albert said. "Thats the reason Im here. I
feel like its a team I can help the most and make my
legacy even better." Albert signed a $47 million, five-
year deal that includes $26 million guaranteed. Dolphins
officials, accompanied by a couple of players, treated
Albert to dinner Tuesday night to celebrate the
agreement. "Probably the happiest person at the dining
room table was Ryan Tannehill," Hickey said. "He was
really excited to have a player of his calibre on our
team." Albert will protect the blind side for Tannehill,
who was sacked a franchise-record 58 times last year.
Mitchell was also part of the dinner celebration after
agreeing to a $16 million, four-year deal. Like Albert
and Starks, Mitchell envisions better days ahead for the
Dolphins. "Im coming to produce and definitely trying to
help this team reach new heights," Mitchell said. "Thats
my reason for being here. Im trying to get us to a Super
Bowl." Mitchell blossomed in his fourth NFL season with
the Houston Texans last year, when he became a starter
and won raves for the way he clogged the middle. He has
been playing defence only since his junior year at the
University of Arizona, and he and Hickey both said hes
still improving. Alberts reputation has also been on the
rise, and he made the Pro Bowl last year with the Kansas
City Chiefs. He has had a home the past three offseasons
45 minutes from the Dolphins complex and will now move
north, eager to go to work with his new team. "I live in
downtown Miami, but I probably wont anymore because of
the commute," he said with a smile. "Ive got to find a
place close to the facility."

was, only now his efforts are being rewarded. The rookie
manager has made a habit of heaping praise on others when
things are going well, and accepting criticism when they
arent. But in the case of Hurtado, its what the coach is
NOT saying that may be the secret to a superb run of
form. Latimer-Giants-Jersey.html?cat=942">Cody Latimer

to concentrate on the mixed-doubles event after winning
12 straight matches and winning Australian titles in
Brisbane and Sydney with two different partners. "This
was a little bit of a let down, but all credit to them,"
said Nestor.
