NFL Notes: Combine, Vince Young, Dolphins, Steelers

Combine

  • NFL director of player development Matt Birk says that the NFL will consider changing Combine tests during theย offseason, per Mike Rodak.

“It may be important to know how fast a receiverย or defensive backย can go 60 yards,” Birk said, per Rodak. “Maybe for an O-lineman it’s only 20 yards.”

Vince Young

  • Ian Rapoport reports that veteran QB Vince Young registered for the veteran’s combine that will take place on March 22.

Dolphins

  • Adam Beasley reports that new Dolphins VP of football operations Mikeย Tannenbaum has his eye on 2016 when it comes to rebuilding Miami’s roster.
  • Beasley adds that Tannenbaum is believed to be operating on a three-year plan, and their roster purge would support this notion.
  • However, Beasley wonders what this means forย HC Joeย Philbin and GM Dennis Hickey and their job security moving forward.
  • Barry Jackson writes that WR Brandon Gibson remains in question.
  • Jackson also confirms previous reports that WR Mike Wallace is unwilling to accept a pay cut.
  • Jackson suggests 49ers LB Dan Skuta could be a free agent target for the Dolphins.

Steelers

  • Steelers free agent LB Arthur Moats said he hopes to be back with the Steelers next season.

โ€œI would love to get something done sooner rather than later here,” Moats said, via Steelers.com. “I love it here, my family loves it here.โ€
