Veteran wide receiver Greg Jennings signed a two-year, $8 million contract with the Miami Dolphins on Thursday.

Jennings, who was released in March by the Minnesota Vikings, was in Miami to take a physical on Wednesday.

In effect, the Dolphins traded Mike Wallace for Jennings, who became expendable in Minnesota when the Dolphins dealt Wallace to the Vikings.

Jennings, 31, had signed a five-year, $45 million contract with the Vikings in 2013. In two seasons with Minnesota, he caught 127 passes for 1,546 yards and 10 touchdowns.

Jennings played his first seven seasons in Green Bay and was selected to the Pro Bowl in 2010 and 2011.

In Miami, he will be reunited with coach Joe Philbin, who was the Packers’ offensive line coach from 2003 to 2006 and offensive coordinator from 2007 to 2011.

The Dolphins have revamped their receiving corps this offseason, trading Wallace and losing Brian Hartline and Brandon Gibson while acquiring Kenny Stills from the New Orleans Saints and signing Jennings. The Dolphins also brought in veterans Michael Crabtree and Wes Welker for visits.
