DOLPHINS SIGN JOSH MCCOWN

Adam Schefter of NFL Network reports that the Miami Dolphins have
reached a contract agreement with free agent quarterback Josh McCown.

Per Schefter, the contract is a two-year deal worth $6.25 million.
Although that's a contract more in line with what a backup usually
makes, McCown may very well be the Dolphins' starter in September. Of
the three quarterbacks on the Dolphins' 2007 roster, two — Trent Green
and Cleo Lemon — are already gone, and the third — John Beck — was
unimpressive in the four games he started.

McCown started nine games for the Raiders last year, completing 58.4
percent of his passes and throwing 10 touchdowns and 11 interceptions.
He previously started 22 games for the Cardinals from 2003 to 2005,
and he spent the 2006 season with the Lions, where his only
regular-season playing time came at wide receiver.

The Dolphins have been the busiest team in the league on a very busy
first day of free agency.
