Free agency starts March 9, but the Dolphins have already won the offseason. On Wednesday, they signed six stars, including three Hall of Famers. An important caveat, however: None is under the age of 40. Dan Marino and Bob Griese were among a half-dozen Dolphins legends who signed one-day contracts Wednesday, allowing them all to retire members of the organization that benefited from their greatness. Marino and Griese put pen to paper alongside wide receiver Nat Moore, guard Larry Little, defensive end/linebacker Kim Bokamper and cornerback Sam Madison. While all but Madison finished their careers with the Dolphins, none actually were members of the team when they retired. Rather, they were free agents — a technicality the team corrected Wednesday. “The fact that I’ve been a free agent for 16 years and no one’s called is very upsetting to me,” Marino joked. “Thank you for today. This organization, this team, this city, football, it all means so much to me.” Tannenbaum has been putting together rosters for years. But he’s never before had a day like Wednesday — and probably never will again. You can read the rest here: http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/nfl/miami-dolphins/article134323529.html
