Vonta Leach to visit the Dolphins

The free-spending Dolphins may not be done acquiring veteran free agents.

Fullback Vonta Leach, who was cut by the Ravens today, will visit the Dolphins tomorrow, according to multiple reports.

If he were to sign in Miami, Leach would be expected to start ahead of any of the fullbacks currently on the roster, including Jorvorskie Lane and Charles Clay. A three-time first-team All-Pro, Leach would provide an upgrade to the Dolphins’ running game as a lead blocker.

Leach’s agent said he’s also interested in returning to the Texans, but that may be a tough sell because Houston already has veteran fullback Greg Jones and doesn’t have a lot of salary cap space.

The Dolphins do have cap space and have shown a willingness to spend this offseason, and they also have an offensive coordinator, Mike Sherman, who previously coached Leach with both the Packers and the Texans. That might make them the leading contenders for Leach.
