The Miami Dolphins may not be headed to the post-season but that doesn’t mean they are not looking to the future, or the present.  Waived by the Cincinnati Bengals on Saturday, the Dolphins were awarded 2nd year WR Armon Binns.  Binns  has 18 catches for 210 yards and one touchdown in eight games with the Bengals.  He was signed in 2011 by the Jaguars as an undrafted free agent before joining the Bengals.

Binns started the season as one of the Bengals wide-outs but slipped to 5th on the depth chart.  It was rumored that the Bengals, who made the move to carry an extra kicker, wanted to sign him back if he cleared.  He didn’t, he’s now a Dolphin.  To make room on the roster, the Dolphins waived cornerback Michael Coe.
