The Miami Dolphins' offensive line is as fluid as they come these days. Monday, it experienced a slight wave.
The team announced it has signed offensive tackles Steven Baker and Tony Hills, and in corresponding moves, waived wide receiver Gerald Ford and tackle Michael Philipp.
The 6-8, 310-pound Baker joins the Dolphins after spending portions of the 2013 season with the New York Giants. The 6-5, 304-pound Hills joins Miami after spending portions of 2013 with the Buffalo Bills and Oakland Raiders.
