Brandon Marshall says he has reached out to Matt Flynn about coming to the Dolphins to play quarterback. "You've got some guys in the draft, but there's not too many guys out there just walking the streets," Marshall said. "Matt is available. ... We've talked. I reached out to him. I get it from Ray Lewis. Around this time of year, players talk to players." Flynn has served as the backup to Aaron Rodgers in Green Bay, but is set to hit the open market.

Brad Childress is the frontrunner to become the offensive coordinator for the Browns, according to a report in the Cleveland Plain Dealer. The Plain Dealer, citing a league source, reported that the Browns had narrowed their search to Childress and Mike Sherman, but Sherman is close to becoming the offensive coordinator for the Dolphins.

The Dolphins won't retain Todd Bowles, according to a report. Bowles was believed to be under consideration for a job under new head coach Joe Philbin. He served as Miami's interim coach after Tony Sparano was fired during the 2011 season.

One of Miami's priorities this offseason is to upgrade at the quarterback positions, whether it be via the draft, free agency or trade. The Miami Herald reported on Monday that the Dolphins have an ultimate goal of landing Peyton Manning, provided he becomes a free agent and is cleared to play. Manning, who missed the entire 2011 season after undergoing neck surgery in September, could become a free agent if the Colts elect not to exercise a $28 million roster bonus he's due by March 8.

The Dolphins are considering Bengals defensive backs coach Kevin Coyle for their defensive coordinator position, according to a source. Miami may choose to retain Todd Bowles on staff in that capacity, but he is exploring other options.

New Dolphins coach Joe Philbin was introduced on Saturday. Philbin, who had been with the Packers since 2003 and was team's offensive coordinator since 2007, said Miami "will play an aggressive, up-tempo, attacking style" but he doesn't plan to run a carbon-copy of Green Bay's system. "There are certain characteristics of the offense that are going to come down here," he said. "(But) we're not just going to take the playbook, copy it and change Green Bay to Miami."

The Dolphins looked like a potential suitor for free-agent quarterback Matt Flynn even before they hired former Packers offensive coordinator Joe Philbin as their head coach. Speculation that Flynn will land in Miami has increased since the hiring of Philbin, but the Dolphins didn't hire Philbin "with the assumption" that they would also add Flynn.

A month of emotion for Packers offensive coordinator Joe Philbin took another turn Friday when he landed the Dolphins' head coaching job. The deal was sealed less than two weeks after Philbin's 21-year-old son drowned in an Wisconsin river. The Dolphins confirmed the hiring in a news release and plan a news conference Saturday.

Packers offensive coordinator Joe Philbin is interviewing Thursday for the Buccaneers head coaching vacancy, a league source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter. Philbin interviewed for the Dolphins' head coaching job for a second time Wednesday.

Green Bay offensive coordinator Joe Philbin interviewed for Miami's head-coaching job for a second time Wednesday. Philbin met with team owner Stephen Ross and general manager Jeff Ireland in New York City, where Ross has an office. Second interviews are also expected for Broncos offensive coordinator Mike McCoy and Todd Bowles, Miami's interim coach for their final three games this season.
