Soi Signed

Dolphins add defensive lineman Brian Soi

The Dolphins officially announced the signing of free agent defensive lineman Brian Soi on Monday, a move first reported on the FinHeaven Forums nearly two weeks ago.

The Dolphins attended Soi's workout in Provo, Utah on July 7. As noted above, his rumored agreement with the Dolphins surfaced hours after he went unselected in the supplemental draft.

Soi, 22, was a third-team freshman All-American in 2005, his only season at Utah State.

After failing to qualify academically at BYU, he spent the 2003 season Hargrave Military Academy, where he registered 10 sacks in 8 games. In 2004, he transfered to Utah State but was ruled academically ineligible.

Finally getting on the field in 2005, Soi racked up 31 tackles (7.5 for loss), 4.5 sacks, 1 forced fumble in 11 games at defensive end. He also blocked a kick.

In 2006, academics once again kept Soi off the field. The 6-3, 317-pounder finally declared for the NFL's supplemental draft after being declared academically ineligible for the 2007 season.

Mormino signs: Updating previous reports, sixth round pick Drew Mormino signed his four-year deal on Monday.

The Dolphins secured their future at quarterback Sunday night, signing second round pick John Beck to a four-year contract. John Clayton reports Beck's deal is a thee-year deal with an option that will give him $2.25 million in guaranteed money.

Only four second round picks in the entire NFL have signed with their respective teams. Beck and center Samson Satele, chosen 60th overall, makeup half that number.

Beck's deal leaves WR/KR Ted Ginn, Jr. Miami's lone unsigned draft pick. However, the team and agent Neil Cornich are close to a deal and are working hard to get it done before Tuesday, when rookies camp gets into full swing.
