Safety Keith Davis has followed new Dolphins head coach Tony Sparano from Dallas to Miami.
Davis signed a two-year contract Tuesday. Terms were not disclosed.
Davis will also be reunited with Todd Bowles, the Dolphins' new assistant head coach and secondary coach, who was with the Dallas Cowboys the past three years.
Davis spent the past five seasons with the Cowboys and was their special-teams captain. He made 69 tackles on special teams in the past four years, and also has 22 career starts at safety.
While with the Cowboys, Davis was a shooting victim twice before the start of training camp.
In June 2003, Davis was hit in the hip and elbow while picking up a friend at a topless club. He was then released on the first day of training camp. He rejoined the team the following season and became so valued that he started 15 games.
In 2006, one bullet grazed Davis' head and another lodged in his thigh when he was shot while driving on a Dallas highway. He was released from the hospital in good condition two days after the incident.
In Miami, Davis is expected to compete for a starting spot at strong safety. He also is expected to boost the team's special teams, which were a weak point during the Dolphins' 1-15 season in 2007.
He is the 10th player added to the Dolphins' roster since the free-agent period started on Feb. 29.
