Dolphins Shopping For Cornerback Help

The Dolphins are actively shopping for a starting cornerback, Omar Kelly of the Sun Sentinel (on Twitter) reports. So far, the ‘Fins have been dissatisfied with every cornerback on the team besides Xavien Howard and Bobby McCain, Kelly hears.

The Dolphins’ interest in adding a cornerback doesn’t come as a huge surprise, particularly after they met with free agent Bashaud Breeland last week. Howard has locked down one starting outside spot and McCain will serve as the main slot guy, but the Dolphins are still looking for a second starting outside corner. Cordrea Tankersley, Tony Lippett, and Torry McTyer have been battling for the job, but it sounds like none of those players have impressed thus far in camp.

Miami has apparently been exploring cornerback upgrades throughout the summer and even considered taking Sam Beal in the supplemental draft before the Giants pounced on him. There aren’t a lot of difference makers left on the open market besides Breeland, but the Dolphins could find an impact corner as the final cut draws near.
