Miami Dolphins Training Camp: Chad Henne will be taking the first snap under center when the Dolphins break camp at their South Florida facility, though it remains to be seen whether the returning starting quarterback will be doing the same once the season starts.
Miami is rumored to be on the lookout for competition for the inconsistent fourth-year pro, with Denver's Kyle Orton heavily mentioned as a potential trade target, as it seeks to upgrade an offense that produced the third-fewest points in the NFL in 2010.
Even if management decides to keep Henne in the No. 1 role, the Dolphins need to add bodies at the position with injury-prone backup Chad Pennington taking the year off and third-stringer Tyler Thigpen exiting via free agency. Quarterback isn't the only spot in question on the roster, as running backs Ronnie Brown and Ricky Williams are unrestricted free agents the team doesn't seem overly eager to bring back.
Rookie Daniel Thomas, Miami's second-round selection in April's draft, enters the preseason as the front-runner in the backfield, though it's presumed the club will add a veteran to lessen the youngster's load. There are also spots to be settled along the offensive line, with first-round pick Mike Pouncey expected to get a shot to win the starting center's job once he's signed.
