Matthew Judon joined the Miami Dolphins on a one-year deal worth up to 6 million, visiting the facility Monday as Miami eyes a beefed-up edge rush. The move comes without tying Judon to any injury concerns around Jaelan Phillips, Chop Robinson or Bradley Chubb, signaling a merger of veteran presence with the team’s growing depth.

Judon, 33, posted 5.5 sacks last season after returning from a torn biceps that sidelined him in 2023, and sits at 72 career sacks across nine seasons. Miami languished at 27th in sacks last year (35) with Robinson and Sieler chipping in; Chubb missed all of 2024 and Phillips four games. The addition pairs a proven, thrifty pass-rush option with a room that already flashed in preseason, including Grayson Murphy and Derrick McLendon.

The signing underscores a concerted effort to stabilize a defense that has been outpaced by growing offensive lines. For fantasy managers, Judon’s presence could unlock more favorable matchups for Miami’s other edge players, depending on how the rotation shakes out and how quickly Judon adapts to the Dolphins’ scheme.
