Overview

  • Matthew Judon, 33, has amassed 72 career sacks over nine seasons but saw his 2023 campaign cut short by a torn biceps tendon.
  • After recovering to record 5.5 sacks in 17 games for the Falcons in 2024, Judon remained unsigned when his contract expired in March.
  • National insiders Jordan Schultz and Aaron Wilson report mutual motivation for a deal and expect a one-year agreement to fit within Miami’s cap space.
  • Miami’s primary edge rotation includes veterans Bradley Chubb and Jaelan Phillips alongside second-year player Chop Robinson, positioning Judon as depth.
  • The visit underscores the Dolphins’ effort to reinforce their pass rush ahead of the 2025 regular season
