Bills To Add Matthew Judon to Practice Squad After He Clears Waivers

The four-time Pro Bowler went unclaimed following Miami's post-elimination cut, positioning him as low-risk depth for Buffalo's playoff run.

Overview

  • Miami waived the 33-year-old pass rusher on Dec. 17, triggering the in-season waiver process because the trade deadline had passed.
  • Judon cleared waivers on Thursday and became a free agent, according to NFL Network reporting.
  • Buffalo hosted Judon on Friday and intends to sign him to its practice squad, per Ian Rapoport and The Insiders.
  • In 13 games for the Dolphins, Judon posted 19 tackles with no sacks, and analytics cited in coverage noted a low pass-rush win rate this season.
  • A four-time Pro Bowler with 72 career sacks, Judon is expected to serve as veteran insurance for Buffalo's edge rotation, with reports noting no team claimed him in part due to remaining contract cost.
