Football Betting Lines

09/05/2010 - Davie, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Miami Dolphins were awarded four players on waiver claims Sunday and also cut three players.

Awarded to the team were defensive ends Clifton Geathers and Robert Rose and offensive linemen Jeremy Parnell and Joe Reitz.

Released by the team were defensive ends Marques Douglas and Charles Grant and offensive guard Cory Procter. Also, the team placed cornerback Will Allen on injured reserve, ending his season.

Douglas is an 11-year veteran and spent last season with the Jets. Over 16 games (12 starts) he totaled 64 tackles and 1 1/2 sacks.

Grant had spent all eight of his seasons with the Saints. Last season, he started all 16 games and had 44 tackles along with 5 1/2 sacks.

Procter played the previous five seasons with the Cowboys and appeared in 44 games with 13 starts.

Last season, Allen appeared in six games and had 21 tackles and two interceptions. He missed the final 10 games of the season after tearing his ACL in Week 6 against the Saints.

None of the four waiver claims have ever seen regular season action in the NFL.
