Davie, FL (Sports Network) - The Miami Dolphins and wide receiver David Boston have agreed to terms on a one-year deal, two months after the team terminated his contract following a failed physical.

Boston was acquired by the Dolphins last summer in a trade with San Diego, but never played a down for the club. He ruptured a patella tendon in his knee during training camp in August, and was placed on injured reserve.

Off-field troubles also hounded the veteran from Ohio State, as he had a run- in with a ticket agent at a Vermont airport in October and was suspended by the NFL in December after testing positive for steroids.

Boston spent his first four NFL campaigns in Arizona and posted consecutive 1,000-yard seasons in 2000 and '01, when he reached his only Pro Bowl after catching 98 balls for 1,598 yards and eight touchdowns. He became a free agent after the 2002 season and signed a big contract with the Chargers. Boston had 70 catches for 880 yards and seven scores in 2003, but often butted heads with coach Marty Schottenheimer which led to the off-season trade.
