Dr Z Posted August 24, 2009 Report Posted August 24, 2009 The Dolphins are getting busy today, making a number of roster moves as the preseason shakeup continues in the wake of the team's second game Saturday night.The latest decision includes a trade to the Chiefs. Offensive linemen Ikechuku Ndukwe and Andy Alleman have been sent to Kansas City, two sources said this morning. The compensation was not immediately known.Both Ndukwe and Alleman played key roles last season in filling holes left by injured linemen at both guard positions. Ndukwe started 15 games for the Dolphins last season after Donald Thomas went down with a foot injury in the first week of the season.Alleman, an interior lineman who can play both guard and center, started five games last season for the Dolphins while Justin Smiley was sidelined with a broken leg.The departure of Ndukwe and Alleman comes on the same day the Dolphins announced that they'd waived running back Anthony Kimble, linebacker Orion Martin, linebacker Tearrius George and nose tackle Joe Cohen.The Dolphins also terminated the contract of Ernest Wilford, while also getting rid of return specialist Chris Williams under the category waived/injured. Williams was injured on the play when the football bounced off his face mask on a punt Saturday night. Quote

Maybe they can do some good there. Quote
