The Dolphins continued their offseason youth movement along the defensive line Saturday by trading veteran defensive tackle Dan Wilkinson to the Denver Broncos for Denver's sixth-round pick in next month's draft, according to a Broncos'-released press release.

The 6-foot-4, 340-pound Wilkinson, 33, who was signed by the Dolphins prior to the 2006 season to back up nose tackle Keith Traylor, appeared in 10 games. He had 14 tackles, three pass breakups and one forced fumble.


The Dolphins have already released defensive end Kevin Carter, 33, and have not signed free-agent defensive linemen David Bowens, 29, Traylor, 37, and Jeff Zgonina, 36. They also cut second-year defensive tackle Keith Vickerson on Friday.

I admit it. I'm jealous of Denver's front office's aggressive nature

This is basically the equivalent of our McIntosh signing. Both are stopgap players. Wilkinson's SLIGHTLY better at playing DT than McIntosh is at OT, however. I suspect this will be a nice help to Denver's run D.
