According to the Miami Dolphins head coach Tony Sparano, his team has little interest in free agent wide receivers Brandon Marshall and Terrell Owens, although each of the two receivers’ production in 2009 could almost equal to the total of the three receivers that played for the Dolphins last season.
Sparano told the media assembled at the owners meetings in Orlando, Fla. recently that he’s not sure if either Marshall or Owens would be a good fit for his team.
“I don’t know if they make sense for our ball club, one way or the other,” Sparano said Tuesday morning. “I’m happy with the group of players I have right now.”
It has been speculated for long that the Dolphins are in the free agent market looking for a big-play wide receiver that can help the team in the red zone. If neither Marshall nor Owens is their choice, they could plan to get young talent to put on the Dolphins jersey from the April’s draft with the 12th overall pick in their hand.

Chiefs signed Lawrence back to roster
The Kansas City Chiefs announced Tuesday that wide receiver Mark Bradley had been released and signed back Quinten Lawrence, who was cut by the team just three days ago after playing four games in Chiefs jersey.
Lawrence was a sixth-round pick by the Chiefs in the 2009 NFL Draft. He totally returned 12 kickoffs for 237 yards, had one carry for 16 yards and a nine-yard reception. In the four games he played with the Chiefs before being cut.
Bradley joined the Chiefs as a free agent in 2008 after spending nearly four seasons with the Chicago Bears. For this season only he played in 13 games, with six starts, for the Chiefs, catching 24 passes for 320 yards with two touchdowns as well as two carries for 20 yards and seven kickoff returns for 123 yards.

Jets WR Clowney was benched for tweeting complaints
After a 16-9 victory over the New England Patriots, the New York Jets wide receiver David Clowney should not have complained about his playing time on his Twitter page, if he knew such personal saying would be considered as detriments to the team and a reason for benching him. He did not know, so he was benched by the Jets Coach Rex Ryan for the game against the Tennessee Titans.
What Clowney did was just to tweet a few hours after beating the Patriots last Sunday: “1 play in the 1st Half, 4 plays in the 2nd half … A bit disappointed about my playing time but very happy and satisfied about the win.” He added in a subsequent tweet that, “My team always comes first so I’ma just keep grinding.”
However, after hearing about the gripe, Coach Ryan felt that the receiver was not putting the team first and made the decision to put him down. Afterwards, Clowney was not in the locker room Monday during media availability.
