Dolphins Plug Secondary Hole With Veterans Jack Jones and Mike Hilton

Miami moves to stabilize its thinned cornerback room after Artie Burns’ season-ending ACL tear.

Overview

  • The Dolphins signed veteran cornerback Jack Jones to a one-year deal after he posted career highs last season with 69 tackles, 16 passes defended and three interceptions in 16 starts for the Raiders.
  • They added slot corner Mike Hilton on a one-year contract following his four-year stint with the Bengals and 11 career interceptions.
  • Miami waived cornerback Ryan Cooper Jr. in a corresponding roster move to clear space for Jones.
  • These signings conclude an accelerated secondary overhaul that began with the release of Kendall Fuller and the trade of All-Pro Jalen Ramsey earlier this offseason.
  • With Burns on season-ending injured reserve, Miami’s young corners will vie behind its newest veteran additions as training camp continues.
