Gay signed a one-year deal with the Dolphins on Wednesday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Scouting Report
Has good size for the linebacking position, so he can generate good leverage against bigger offensive linemen. Has the quickness needed to get to the quarterback, although he is not a natural edge rusher. Instead, he plays more of an all-around game and is more of a throwback at the linebacker position.
Long Range Potential: Solid linebacker.
