The Dolphins are officially putting the rest of the AFC East on notice.

After swiping top free agent targets like Mike Wallace and Dannell Ellerbe, the Dolphins nabbed Dustin Keller out of the Jets hands. Moments ago, they also secured a deal with Brandon Gibson, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Why is Gibson significant? According to a person with knowledge of the situation, Gibson had a two-day visit with the Jets this week and was a high priority during free agency. With interest from each team in the division, Gibson essentially had his pick.

Miami was his second visit, though, and he didn't require much more time to decide.
