Vikings' Asher Allen retires at age 24
MIAMI, May 24 (UPI) -- The Miami Dolphins have traded guard Justin Smiley to the Jacksonville Jaguars for a late-round pick, sources told The Miami Herald Monday.
The newspaper cited unnamed sources saying the deal was completed Friday after Coach Bill Parcells had advised Smiley not to report to an off-season workout program due to the impending transaction.
The trade, however, is reportedly contingent on Smiley passing a physical, which may be a problem due to his ailing shoulder. The injury was what prompted the Dolphins to seek a trade in the first place, the sources said.
The shoulder also had bothered Smiley when he was with the San Francisco 49ers in 2008.
The Dolphins also announced that they had signed guard Cory Procter, a week after he was cut by the Dallas Cowboys. The 6-foot-4, 308-pound lineman started 11 games for the Cowboys in 2008 but none last year.
