The Dolphins have been working out other veteran linebackers, including Jonathon Goff, Bryan Kehl, and Quentin Groves. Guyton has the most career starts, sacks, tackles and interceptions of any in the group despite being the only one who went undrafted out of college.
Jackson speculated that Guyton could compete for a starting outside linebacker position. One of last year's starters, Dolphins' legend Jason Taylor, retired in the offseason. Fellow 2011 starter Cameron Wake could face a role change depending on whether the Dolphins decide to use a 4-3 or 3-4 defensive scheme, and even that depends on whether or not Wake gets an extension or ends his holdout.
Adding linebacker depth was a necessary move in either case. Reserve linebacker Marvin Mitchell signed a free agent deal with the Vikings earlier this month. Miami has also signed former Jet Jamaal Westerman and retained Jason Trusnik and Austin Spitler.
