Two defensive linemen signed

The team filled two of its three open roster spots today by signing a couple of defensive linemen - DT Jesse Mahelona and DE Derreck Robinson. With Vonnie Holliday and Rodrique Wright nicked up and Chase Page on IR, Mahelona and Robinson will be expected to provide depth to the defensive line rotation.

Mahelona (6'0", 310 lbs.) was a fifth-round draft choice of the Titans in 2006. He is 24 years old. He played in ten games last season, including one start. Mahelona is the newest member of Miami's Samoan contingent.
