Overview

  • Miami reached agreement Monday on an incentive-laden one-year contract worth up to $6 million with the 33-year-old, per ESPN and multiple reports.
  • Judon visited team facilities earlier in the day as coach Mike McDaniel characterized the meeting as exploratory rather than tied to any injury.
  • He is set to rotate with Chop Robinson, Jaelan Phillips and Bradley Chubb, adding veteran insurance to a position group that has dealt with recent rehabs.
  • A four-time Pro Bowler with 72 career sacks, Judon missed most of 2023 with a torn biceps and posted 5.5 sacks in 17 games for the Falcons last season.
  • The Dolphins entered the day with roughly $11.7 million in cap space, aligning with the short-term, incentive-heavy structure of the deal.
