Dolphins showing interest in Chris Culliver to improve CB spot

Hoping to improve a secondary and looking for cornerback talent, the Miami Dolphins are signing free agent cornerback Chris Culliver, per and NFL source.

Culliver was a signature free agent acquisition of the Washington Redskins in the spring of 2015, signing a four-year, $32 million deal. But on September 14 of that year, he was suspended for one game for violating the NFL's personal conduct policy following misdemeanors that occurred in March 2014. In November he tore his ACL and MCL and was placed on injured reserve.

The Redskins decided bringing Culliver back for a second season was not financially feasible when they signed former Carolina Panthers cornerback Josh Norman in April and drafted Virginia Tech cornerback Kendall Fuller in the third round.
