The Philadelphia Eagles were rumored to have made an inquiry about Dolphins DE Dion Jordan. Today they opted to sign FA CB Nolan Carroll. Formerly of the Dolphins. Immediate contract details are not known at this time.

Last season Carroll took big steps as a professional football player and it was thought that the Dolphins would try to retain him. Carroll said prior to free agency that he would test the market. And so he did.

Correction: the original story stated the player as Chris Clemons. I read the news wire wrong.
