The Eagles parted ways with Danny Watkins on Saturday. On Sunday, he went unclaimed on waivers.

However, on Monday came news that the 2011 first-round pick has apparently received some interest from another club. According to Howard Balzer of Grand Slam Sports, Watkins was to have a “tryout” with the Dolphins, Balzer tweeted Monday. It’s unclear whether the tryout has occurred or will be occurring.

The 28-year-old Watkins appeared in 23 regular-season games in two seasons with Philadelphia, making 18 starts.

Richie Incognito and John Jerry are the Dolphins’ starting guards, and both were 16-game starters in 2012. Rookie Dallas Thomas is currently listed as the only reserve guard on Miami’s depth chart.
