The Facts: Garrard is joining the Miami Dolphins, he told Fox Sports insider and NFL Network contributor Jay Glazer on Monday night in a text message. A league source told NFL Network insider Jason La Canfora that Garrard's deal is for one year.
Diehards Line:Garrard didn't reveal terms of the deal, which brings him to Miami to compete with Matt Moore for the starting job -- unless the team brings in another quarterback. The Dolphins missed out on Peyton Manning and Matt Flynn, who chose the Denver Broncos and Seattle Seahawks, respectively. Alex Smith visited Miami on Sunday, but he could return to San Francisco, where he has spent his entire NFL career. Garrard, a starter for the Jaguars from 2005 to 2010, didn't play last season. He was released five days before the opener, then underwent back surgery in October.
