Yet another high-profile free-agent signing by Bill Parcells and the Miami Dolphins has met an abrupt and unceremonious end, as the Dolphins terminated the contract of center Jake Grove today.

The oft-injured Grove played just one season for the Dolphins and started only 10 of 12 games after signing a five-year, $29 million contract that included $14.5 million guaranteed.

Grove's release comes soon after he missed the team's preseason finale with a shoulder injury and officially lost the starting center job for Sunday's regular season opener to Joe Berger.

To take Grove's spot on the roster, the Dolphins re-signed offensive lineman Cory Procter, who was with the team during the preseason and survived final cuts last Saturday, only to be released a day later.
