DAVIE, Fla. -- Overshadowed by the frenzy surrounding Ndamukong Suh's record-breaking deal, the Miami Dolphins also signed cornerback Brice McCain to a two-year deal on Wednesday.
McCain's agent, David Canter, made the announcement on Twitter.

McCain, 28, had 25 tackles and three interceptions with the Pittsburgh Steelers last season as he climbed his way up the depth chart from the team's No. 4 corner to a starting role.
In Week 5, his 22-yard interception return for a touchdown helped the Steelers secure a 17-9 win over the upset-minded Jacksonville Jaguars.
A sixth-round pick in the 2009 draft, he has recorded 149 tackles and eight interceptions in 86 games split between Houston and Pittsburgh.
"He's a real quality guy," Dolphins head coach Joe Philbin said. "He's a competitive guy, plays the game fast, plays hard. I'm really excited about adding him."
