Former University of Montana kicker and Helena native Dan Carpenter has signed a free-agent contract with the Miami Dolphins.

Carpenter worked out with the Dolphins assistant special teams coach Steve Hoffman last week in Missoula.

He and his agent Ken Staninger have also been contacted by former NFL coach and current Miami Executive Vice President of Football Operations Bill Parcells.

“Knowing they wanted me to come there made the decision pretty easy,” said Carpenter.

Carpenter is the career leading scorer in Football Championship Series history and was a Walter Camp All-American Selection last season. His parents are Val and Diane Carpenter of Helena.

GF may double parking meter fees from 25 to 50 cents an hour. What do you think?

  • They need the money & I can afford it.
  • Another reason for me not to shop downtown.
  • A smaller increase will keep me shopping downtown.
  • Toss the meters, parking should be free.
