Schefter: Money well spent
No person believes more in the importance of building a strong offensive line than Bill Parcells. And no team has invested more money in its offensive line than the Miami Dolphins, Adam Schefter writes. **More ...**
NFL Network's Adam Schefter reports that Grove's deal is worth $29.5 million over five years, with $14 million in guaranteed money.
Grove, who signed Tuesday, became an unrestricted free agent after spending his first five seasons with the Oakland Raiders. He's expected to challenge for a starting job with the Dolphins, who might move center Samson Satele to guard.
Satele has been Miami's starting center since the beginning of his rookie season in 2007.
Grove started 46 games at center and guard for Oakland, and he started 12 games at center last year. He was drafted in the second round out of Virginia Tech in 2004.
