What about Marlin Jackson?

I created a post recently supporting the signing of Antrele Rolle but obviously after the signing of Dansby, his price tag was a bit too much. What I am now wondering is why there has been no discussion of the signing of Marlin Jackson?

Jackson is restricted free agent that was not been tendered by the Colts so I believe that means the colts are only in position to match an offer and not get any draft picks. He is only 26, and although his natural position is CB, he has played solidly at both free and strong safety. Jackson was a first round pick and has been a bit of a disappointment for the colts (286 tackles, and 4 pics in 5 seasons), but he is a solid tackler and could fill the void at FS while Chris Clemons continues to develop. I believe the dolphins need to use early draft picks to fill the voids at WR(DEZ) and NT because the resources through the draft outweigh those in free agency.

It should definitely be considered that Marlin is coming off torn ACL surgery, but with his young age, he should be able to heal up nicely. Any thoughts?
