The Miami Dolphins have agreed to terms on a two-year deal with free agent defensive end Marques Douglas, Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News reports.

Douglas' deal is worth $2.5 million dollars.

Douglas (6-2, 292) started 12 of 16 games for the New York Jets in 2009, totaling 64 tackles and 1.5 quarterback sacks. Douglas added seven tackles, including one for a loss, during the 2009 NFL Playoffs.

Douglas has 435 tackles and 20.5 quarterback sacks during his NFL career, which began with the Baltimore Ravens, who signed him as an undrafted free agent out of Howard University  in 1999.

In between three stints with the Ravens, Douglas has also played for the New Orleans Saints (2000) and San Francisco 49ers (2005-07), and signed a four-year contract with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2008 only to be traded back to Baltimore before the regular season.

Douglas, who played for Dolphins defensive coordinator Mike Nolan in Baltimore and San Francisco, will likely be asked to replace defensive end Phillip Merling, who in addition to facing felony domestic violence charges, suffered a season-ending Achilles' injury this week.
