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.
