Football Betting Lines
04/18/2007 - Miami, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Miami Dolphins decided on Wednesday not to match St. Louis' offer for punter Donnie Jones.
Because of the decision, the Dolphins will get the Rams' seventh-round draft choice this year, the 225th overall selection.
"These types of decisions are part of the business," said Dolphins general manager Randy Mueller. "We want to thank Donnie for his contributions during his two years with the Dolphins, and wish him and his family the best of luck in St. Louis. Having ten picks not only will allow us to add youth to our football team, but it also will give us a great deal of flexibility over the course of the draft."
The 26-year-old Jones punted 85 times last season for an average of 42.8 yards and had 28 kicks land inside the 20-yard line.
