Dolphins Sign Tyrone Culver To Extension

Looking to fortify the team’s improved secondary, the Dolphins have signed backup safety Tyrone Culver to a two-year extension, according to the Palm Beach Post. NFLPA salary information indicates that Culver will make $3.225 million in base salary over the next three years. A third sixth-round pick of Green Bay in 2006, Culver was let go by the Packers last preseason before Miami snapped him up. He went on to play a majority of the team’s snaps in 2008. Now Culver will play on special teams and help in dime packages behind starters Gibril Wilson and Yeremiah Bell. It’s not a flashy move, but it is typical of the way Bill Parcells and GM Jeff Ireland have improved the Dolphins’ depth. The franchise may still lack some elite talent, but the bottom of Miami’s roster has clearly been upgraded.
