Eric Winston To Visit Dolphins

Eric WinstonWinston, who went to the University of Miami, started all 16 games last season and ranked 11th among all NFL tackles, according to profootballfocus.com. He ranked fourth as a run blocker. Winston, cut by the Texans on Monday, is the best free agent right tackle on the market. He told me he will visit the Dolphins in the next couple days but does not yet have an offer from Miami.
The Dolphins want to save much of their cap space until they receive an answer from Peyton Manning, or potentially, backup plan Matt Flynn. But Winston would clearly be the best right tackle available unless the Dolphins use the eighth pick of the draft on Iowa's Riley Reiff. Problem is, bidding will be high for him.
