    Among those in the works: defensive end Chris Clemons. His camp got a call early this morning, asking to set up a visit. Even though Jones is in the building today, the Dolphins apparently want to consider multiple options for a significant defensive end role, as part of a rotation with Mario Williams (who figures to play the vast majority of downs) and Cam Wake (the Dolphins don't want to overwork him).

    Clemons, 34, has 69 career sacks, including 37 for Seattle from 2010 to 2013. He started 11 games for Jacksonville in 2014 and had eight sacks and four forced fumbles. Last season, he played in 16 games for the Jaguars, starting eight, and had 14 tackles, three sacks and one forced fumble.

    Pro Football Focus rated him 111th of 111 qualifying defensive ends last season, but several teams appear to strongly disagree with that assessment. Eight teams have expressed interest in Clemons, and he visited the Seahawks earlier this week.

    Meanwhile, the Dolphins are among teams that have expressed interest in Eagles and former Dolphins free agent cornerback Nolan Carroll, according to a source. A visit has not been scheduled, but there has been communication between the sides. Carroll also is talking to the Eagles and others.

    He was originally brought in to play the Leo position in Pete Carroll's defensive 4-3 over scheme, but with the injury of Red Bryant after week 7, Raheem Brock was moved into his place and Chris Clemons moved to starting left defensive end.

    Clemons led the team with a career high 11 sacks in both 2010 and 2011.

    On September 24, 2012, Clemons recorded four sacks, all in the first half, in a victory over the Green Bay Packers.

Clemons was later placed on injured reserve.[3] On September 20, 2013 the Seahawks announced Clemons will play for his season debut in Week 3 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Clemons and the Seahawks went on to win Super Bowl XLVIII that season.

    On March 12, 2014, Clemons was released by the Seahawks.
