    A Miami Dolphins trade for Kansas City Chiefs offensive tackle Branden Albert never materialized, so the organization might have moved on to another tackle listed on the 2012 Chiefs roster. A source told the Miami Herald's Adam Beasley that the Dolphins have had consistent conversations with Eric Winston, and action could be taken soon.

    The Dolphins still are in the market for a tackle after 2008 No. 1 overall pick Jake Long signed with the St. Louis Rams. They're happy with 2012 second-rounder Jonathan Martin, but they still need another starter. They drafted Tennessee offensive tackle Dallas Thomas in the third round of the 2013 NFL Draft, but NFL Network draft analyst Mike Mayock called him a better prospect at guard, where he played in 2012.

    they still don't have a left tackle surely they are not planning on using Winston at left tackle are they? that would be a disaster

    They have a left tackle, the Albert thing was a smokescreen the entire time.

    It's too bad they didn't close on Albert. Would have been a good fill for sure.

    they just sticking with martin?

    they apparently are talking with mckinnie and clabo also but i don't think clabo or winston either one could make it on the left side.

    Martin is the LT. They need a RT if they don't think John Jerry can play the position.
