Dolphins | Team claims Suggs off waivers Sun, 3 Sep 2006 14:42:42 -0700 Alex Marvez, of the Sun-Sentinel, reports the Miami Dolphins have claimed RB Lee Suggs off waivers from the Cleveland Browns, according to a source.
The Dolphins acquired running back Lee Suggs and tight end Tim Massaquoi off waivers Sunday. Suggs was waived by Cleveland on Saturday after three injury-plagued seasons. Suggs, who finished the 2004 season with three consecutive 100-yard rushing performances, is expected to compete with Travis Minor to serve as starter Ronnie Brown's backup with Sammy Morris out for the next four games following a failed test under the NFL's steroid policy. Massaquoi was selected by Tampa Bay in the seventh round of the 2006 draft after playing collegiately at Michigan.
Medium risk, pretty high upside. Very slim chance he actually reaches that upside, but if he does, he's a great compliment.
Just so you know i was not one of them. Suggs isn't carrying the load or anything which will increase his chances of staying healthy. I just hope he's good for a couple of first downs a game and maybe a couple of long runs.
