The Dolphins at least are trying to sound like Dion Jordan can be part of their future.

From his Oregon days as a rush linebacker.

In this piece Dolphins defensive coordinator Kevin Doyle refers to Jordan, the third overall pick in the 2013 draft as a "prime-time player that's going to explode this year."

Jordan says he's gained 15 pounds without losing any speed.

All of that said it's no secret the Dolphins shopped the Oregon product ... And the Eagles were among the suitors.

Jordan, who may be better suited to playing rush linebacker in a 3-4, is looking a lot like a backup defensive end and special teams player for the Fish.

A trade of Jordan still could be a work in progress.
