According to Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald, the Dolphins have internally have discussed the possibility of signing veteran cornerbacks Leon Hall and Antonio Cromartie.
A number of Dolphins’ reporters have pointed to the cornerback position as an area where they could use some extra depth, and Hall and Cromartie happen to be two of the best available players at the position.
Hall has visited with the Giants and Falcons in recent weeks while Cromartie hasn’t found any reported interest since he became available. Although, Jets HC Todd Bowles didn’t rule out the possibility of re-signing Cormartie at some point, depending on what happens this summer.
Cromartie, 32, was in the second year of his four-year, $32 million contract that included $7 million guaranteed when he was released in a move that freed up $8 million in available cap space for the Jets.
In 2015, Cromartie appeared in 15 games for the Jets and recorded 29 tackles, a fumble recovery and 12 pass defenses. Pro Football Focus has him rated as the No. 86 cornerback out of 111 qualifying players.
Hall, 31, is former first-round pick of the Bengals back in 2007. He has spent all nine years of his NFL career with the Bengals and is now among the best available cornerbacks in this year’s market.
In 2015, Hall appeared in 14 games for the Bengals and recorded 55 tackles, two interceptions with one being returned for a touchdown, and nine pass defenses.
