Overview

  • Judon visited Miami’s facility on Monday, and multiple outlets reported an agreement shortly thereafter.
  • Head coach Mike McDaniel said the pursuit was exploratory and not triggered by a new long-term injury to Jaelan Phillips, Bradley Chubb or Chop Robinson.
  • The 33-year-old is expected to fill a rotational role behind Miami’s top edge trio, adding depth and flexibility.
  • Judon logged 5.5 sacks in 17 games for the Falcons in 2024 after a 2023 torn biceps, and he owns 72 career sacks with four Pro Bowl selections.
  • Miami ranked 27th in sacks last season with 35, and the short-term, incentive-based deal aligns with the market for veteran edge rushers seeking prove-it opportunities.
