The Miami Dolphins are off today so the personnel department is, well, looking at personnel. The team brought in three street free agent linebackers today, obviously looking for depth at a position that currently has very little.
Brandon Spikes, a former starter in New England and star at the University of Florida, was among the linebacker worked out. Former Lions linebacker Jerry Franklin, released by Detroit July 28, is also among the group worked out, per a source.
Franklin has been with the Saints (2014), and Bears (2012-13) in addition to the Lions. He signed with the Lions in February.
