The Miami Dolphins have exercised the fifth-year option on the contract of Mike Pouncey.

Pouncey was a Pro Bowl center during the 2013 NFL season.

The Detroit Lions are meeting with Marqise Lee, the seventh team to meet with the USC receiver.

The Lions own the highest pick at No. 10 that Lee has met with.

Lee also has visited with the Baltimore Ravens (17th pick), New York Jets (18th pick), Miami Dolphins (19th pick), New Orleans Saints (27th pick), Carolina Panthers (28th pick) and New England Patriots (29th pick).

The Seattle Seahawks have hired Jeff Ireland to serve as a consultant ahead of next month's draft.

Ireland had been general manager of the Miami Dolphins from 2008 until January.

Ireland and the Seahawks will discuss a full-time position when the draft is over.

The 2014 NFL schedule will begin with the Green Bay Packers playing at the Seattle Seahawks in a Thursday night game in Week 1.

The Sunday night game in Week 1 will feature the Indianapolis Colts at the Denver Broncos.

The Seahawks will play at the San Francisco 49ers in the Week 13/Thanksgiving night game. The two teams meet again in Week 15 on Dec. 14.

The Miami Dolphins were one of the NFL's most competitive teams last season to not make the playoffs.

“We need some more game-changing plays. We were in 10 one possession games last year," Philbin said.

The Dolphins' wins over the Browns and Jets, along with losses to the Saints, Patriots, Bills and Jets were the only games to not come down to the final possession.

"That was tied for the most in the NFL. We were 6-4 in those [games], but it is tough to [have a] 9-1 [record] in those games," Philbin added.

"We’ve got to have a couple more plays that turn the tide faster from a defensive perspective. We’ve also got to score more points from an offense standpoint," Philbin continued. "That’s one of the things we’re looking for from the linebackers, game-changing plays.”

Jermichael Finley has received interest from the Miami Dolphins.

The Dolphins are only interested in Finley on a "low risk" contract.

The Seattle Seahawks are believed to be pushing hardest for Finley.

Chris Johnson is meeting with the New York Jets on Tuesday.

Johnson hasn't met with any teams since being cut by the Tennessee Titans on April 4.

Johnson would give the Jets a legitimate speed threat along with Chris Ivory.

The Buffalo Bills, Miami Dolphins and Atlanta Falcons have also expressed interest in Johnson.

The Philadelphia Eagles recently pursued a trade for Dion Jordan of the Miami Dolphins.

Jordan played sparingly for the Dolphins last season, who was taken third overall out of Oregon in 2013.

Jordan had just 26 tackles and two sacks. 

Nate Burleson has agreed upon a one-year deal with the Cleveland Browns.

Burleson spent the past four seasons with the Detroit Lions.

Burleson previously visited the Miami Dolphins in free agency.

Burleson suffered a broken arm in a one-car accident caused by his attempt to keep a pizza he’d purchased from sliding off the passenger seat last September. The Lions stated there was no alcohol involved.
