Controversial guard Richie Incognito to visit Miami Dolphins

Incognito The Dolphins’ interior offensive line could be getting deeper – and a good bit nastier – during the next day or two. The team is scheduled to host guard Richie Incognito tonight and Tuesday, an NFL source confirmed. The source said Incognito is finishing up a visit to Cincinnati today. Incognito, 26, is an undeniable talent, but also has carved out a reputation as one of the NFL’s most unpredictable and volatile players. The Miami Herald first reported the Dolphins’ interest in Incognito. In 2009 with St. Louis, Incognito had two personal fouls in two separate games, leading the Rams to cut him on Dec. 15. Two days earlier, Incognito head-butted two Tennessee Titans players during a 47-7 loss and eventually was fined $50,000. The previous season, Incognito was fined $35,000 for three separate incidents during a game against the Redskins, including a personal foul for verbally abusing a game official, a facemask penalty and an illegal chop block. Incognito finished last season with the Buffalo Bills, but became a free agent at

the end of last month. Incognito’s transgressions earned him the title of “NFL’s dirtiest player” in a Sporting News poll of 99 players. But while he can be a major headache for coaches and opponents, Incognito also could be a solid addition for a team that can help him harness his emotions. During the 2005 Scouting Combine, Incognito, who played at Nebraska, ran the 40 in 4.84 seconds and scored a 32 (out of 50) on the Wonderlic. But he also injured his knee during a drill. Since the Rams drafted him in the third round in ‘05, Incognito has made 47 NFL starts, including 16 in 2006 at three different spots. The Dolphins want linemen who can play multiple positions. A season ago, injuries forced the team to juggle the lineup during the season’s second half. Incognito’s flexibility could make him a nice pick-up, but the team will have to address his behavior before making a decision.
